David Cameron is speaking from a secret venue today announcing more money to boost female migrants’ language skills, in order to help them escape the “control” of men in some communities. So it looks pretty bad that Downing Street aides are preventing the Muslim women there from speaking to journalists. Sky’s Gerard Tubb is at the scene:

"Can we talk to these women?"
PM's office: "No, not before the PM arrives"
"Afterwards?"

This is outrageous, we are journalists & we're not here to do your propaganda
I'm sorry you're angry
I'm not, I'm furious

What was that about domineering men preventing Muslim women from speaking?

UPDATE: A No. 10 source quickly gets in touch to insist that this was simply “a timetabling issue, simple as that” and that the women were free to speak to journalists afterwards.
