liz truss responded with this tweet... the book in question is invisible women, which details the many aspects of our world that are designed to the specifications of the male body. we talked to caroline criado perez earlier. this is actually a hugely widespread problem that goes far beyond personal protective equipment, and it basically comes down to the sort of societal bias that we have where we think of the male body as kind of a unisex body, and the female body is just — well, just the female body, as slightly weird and different. and if we are trying to design something that works for everyone, we will base it off men. but of course, that means that the issues like stab vests or respiratory equipment where you do have to have a very close, tight fit —

liz truss.home during the coronavirus pandemic. a new digital system has been developed, but there are concerns that it's not yet robust enough. some mps are worried about its stability, about the ability to verify who is voting and about the alerts telling mps when it's time to vote. the commons leader, jacob rees—mogg, insisted the arrangements would be temporary. he also agreed not to hold any votes until after the procedure committee has reported on the system. i think it's fair to say that i am surprised to be introducing a motion to introduce remote voting in the house of commons. in general, i'm not an advocate of change. to the house's voting system or, to be perfectly honest, to many other things. it's always lord palmerston‘s words always ring in my mind, "change, change, aren't things bad enough already?" i'm very thankful to that the house authorities and the staff of the parliamentary digital service for their work in developing the digital tool so quickly. i know they are keen to f

liz truss. you're watching the week in parliament with me, alicia mccarthy.ndling of the crisis. the leader of the conservative group quoted an intensive care doctor. there were no advisers and staff would be using single issue visors, potentially contaminated. the main assurance i asked people to take is this is something that principally, national services scotland is on literally every minute of the day to make sure that we are able to give confidence about the supplies of these items, notjust now but into the future as well. what is the first minister's advice to those care workers who find themselves on shift in scotland's care home tonight without the ppe that they need? if he ever hears me, if anyone ever hears me standing up in this chamber during this pandemic and saying we've resolved the issue of ppe, you should really have a go at me then because that would demonstrate a level of complacency that i would never want. can the first minister explain why around half of scotland's testing capacity as being unused at the moment, why we're still testing

designated survivor so we're only 8 coronavirus hospitalisations away from having someone called liz truss as our prime minister you'd have to be british to perhaps get quite here thinking who george oh my what an interesting. it seems like they hurried up to put this list together because they realize they had no backup plan after going to grab i guess though i don't know what i'm not sure that's right and good for them good on them and lastly george the head of the european research council dr morrow ferrari has just stepped down citing his disappointment with the e.u. response to the pandemic and mainly because he had his idea for the special program dedicated to combat inc of in 1000 rejected by the research council unanimously so do you think this reflects more poorly of the e.u. states or are we looking at a rogue scientist type. noise no rogue scientist he's he's a man of unimpeachable credentials and the key word in what you just said was unanimously they unanimously rejected his plan which if they had accepted it would have placed the e.u. on a much firmer footing in facing this p

you are talking about liz truss? there is a silver medal, second row down, right in the middle.er house -- metal. i always try to read the books that people have behind them. iam sure books that people have behind them. i am sure if they ever did it at home i would rearrange them. this is interesting. they will tell you that ina interesting. they will tell you that in a moment. the other thing people picked up on was that you cannot see it on this picture, but the code for the zoom was at the top. next time it happens they will try to login. next time they do it they probably won't have the code, will they? we we re won't have the code, will they? we were trying to organise a family make —— get togetherfor my mum ‘s birthday on zoom. happy birthday, mum, for yesterday, she is probably not up yet. she might have been watching. the issue is we had that same problem, you know when you are trying to get technology to work for everybody and my dad has a hearing aid, so they were watching on the computer, but the computer sound is linked up to my dad's hearing aid, so linked up to my
