“It pledges to protect existing maternity rights and extend the time limit for pregnancy and maternity claims of unfair dismissal to 12 months.”
Am I missing something or did they have the sound bite queued up before the policy announcement?
He’s only doing this because the right wing religious nuts who paid money require it.
Farage’s principles are for sale to the highest bidder.
What was the £5 million for?
Where did the money come from for you girl friend to buy the house in Clacton?
Your former number 2 who is in prison for taking bribes from Putin, he said exactly the same as you, did you take money from Putin?
That was honestly one of the craziest reads in recent memory. Apparently according to a Labour MP. Reform planning on increasing the time period a mother can take their employer to court for unpaid maternity leave is the equivalent of a totalitarian dictatorship that rapes women and forces them to give birth to the ruling classes children.
If nothing else it shows how fundamentally unserious Labour have become as a political party.

Yet another distraction from his dodgy £5 million bribe.
If Trump can distract everyone from the Epstein files via wrestling and wars, Farage will do the same with whatever contraversy he can stir up.
* Promising to keep some protections from sex discrimination, which have been in place for half a century, while scrapping the entire Equality Act and Employment Rights Act and expecting women to be grateful is “galling”, says TUC.
* Proposal also suggests Reform wants to reduce women’s protections to equal pay for work of equal value, which have been in place for over 25 years.

If you haven’t already I’d seriously recommend either reading THT or watching the first 3 seasons of the show.
The show is brutal though and actually I’ve only managed to get my other male friends to watch it, the girls can’t sit through ‘the ceremony’
>Their prisons adviser believes men should be put in women’s prisons. And today’s plans would leave women who say biological sex is real completely exposed to being harassed and hounded out of their jobs.
Gods, I’m not sure who is the bigger nutjobs, the Cons or Reform..the Cons are utterly trans-deranged
I increasingly think The Handmaid’s Tale should never have been a tv show because it ended up showing so many people who would never pick up a book a vision of how they could work to make the world look to benefit themselves, even if it also caused large scale suffering.
I can tell without even reading the article that this will be hyperbolic BS.
Edit:
>It pledges to protect existing maternity rights and extend the time limit for pregnancy and maternity claims of unfair dismissal to 12 months.
>“This Act will make Britain one of the best countries in the world to become a mother,” Reform alleges.
Lol. Stella Creasy is not a serious person.
“Protect woman’s rights” yeah by oppressing them and being bigoted to trans people.
He’s paid up by the “Alliance defending freedom” in the USA. He’s a traitor. He is selling out British culture for extremist pro lifer Christians in America. They took rights of women in America now it’s our turn.
Your regular reminder that Reform, the party of The Handmaid’s Tale, was defeated in a recent by-election by patriarchs herding their wives and daughters into polling centres and telling them where to tick.
Reform U.K. won’t be happy until they’ve dragged the country back to medieval feudalism!!
“Their prisons adviser believes men should be put in women’s prisons. And today’s plans would leave women who say biological sex is real completely exposed to being harassed and hounded out of their jobs.”
Thank you Bridget Phillipson for letting us know how much you hate trans people.
i mean are labour any better with the online saftey acts?
Yeah and the right wing thugs who pretend be care about women and children will let him, as long as he says he’ll stop the boats.
What is it with left wing terminally online people droning on about Handmaids Tale at the drop of a hat.
The only way I can possibly digest recent news is through a pop culture reference!
I’m fine with criticising that as a policy, but this article is pathetic and the author should be embarrassed.
The only claim represented from Reform is the following: ” Reform pledges to protect existing maternity rights and extend the time limit for pregnancy and maternity claims of unfair dismissal to 12 months.”
That is in no way worthy of histrionic comparisons to dystopian fiction. They don’t even bother to directly state anywhere if Reform plan to repeal the Equality Act, it’s just kind of loosely implied through quotes.
Least surprising development from Reform, let’s be honest.
Well i’m sure it’s a balanced article with a headline like that 😂
And yet like with Trump, the British press will probably call them feminist heroes because transphobia.
For a party that’s whole thing is fear of Islamic culture taking over British values, they seem to have an awful lot of policies that are straight up in line with Sharia Law.
The way Reform bring out the batshit crazy in some people has to be admired.
Literally everything that affects women is The Handmaid’s tale apparently, except the wildly misogynistic religion actively trying to bring their backwards culture here. The left are ridiculous hypocrites.
