Default Emily Thornberry claims Little Miss books are sexist

and they should be changed to Ms


https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politi...berry-12507410

Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry has criticised the Mr Men and Little Miss books, saying they imply that women are “less”.
The MP wants the female characters in Roger Hargreaves’ works to be referred to as Ms, not Miss



she doesn't have much to concern herself with does she, its a good job there are no issues with Foreign Affairs at the moment
