More people seem to get themselves in hot water over tweets, than via any other form of communication. I used to tell my staff, regarding e-mails, never send one out when you're angry, because you'll regret it later, and you can never take it back. That goes double for tweeting.

Another case of backtracking and foot in mouth disease. I feel he meant what he originally said and is towing his parties line to get into office, or stay there

I don't think he understands at all as evidenced by this statement.....

“But I also remain a very strong backer of feminism. All that I have done is join many feminists in saying that it is up to women, not anyone else – and certainly not me – to decide who gets let into women-only spaces, such as women’s toilets. All women have a right to be involved in making those decisions.”

If you believe that then you believe we should have 3rd gender toilets?

Hugs,

He's spouting TERF rhetoric even in his apology.
