"The Revolt of the Dames"?

One facet of the rebellion that has produced major concessions over the legislation to be introduced next Tuesday has been the leading role of senior female #membersofparliament in it. Chairs of #selectcommittees have been prominent especially in negotiations with #downingstreet - some of them have the title #dame - the equivalent of #sir . Somehow I think #downingstreet may react ruefully to the song from #guysanddolls - 'there is nothing like a dame'!
