Reformpläne „bedrohen Mutterschaftsurlaub und Arbeitsplatzsicherheit für 500.000 schwangere Frauen“

>Reform has said it would introduce a new “Workplace Fairness Act”, saying it would “restore fairness, protect women, and rebuild public trust in the law by treating people as individuals rather than separating them into competing groups”. But they have not provided details on what protections this legislation would include.
Ms Braverman described protected characteristics as being “pernicious” and “divisive”.
Pregnancy rights charity Pregnant then Screwed warned that scrapping the legislation „would have catastrophic effects for everyone”, calling for “more support for mothers and parents”, not less.

>Earlier this year, *The Independent* revealed that [Reform UK](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/reform-uk)’s candidate in the Gorton and Denton [by-election](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/by-election), Matt Goodwin, previously called for women and young girls to be given a “biological reality” check, as he gave his views on how Britain should tackle its impending “fertility crisis”. 
He had previously suggested that people who don’t have children [should be taxed extra as punishment](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/reform-matt-goodwin-children-tax-gorton-denton-b2914817.html).
Meanwhile, Nigel Farage has said those who have “quite a few children” could be given tax breaks to help with the cost of living if his party came to power.
The party’s head of policy, Dr James Orr, has also advocated for pro-natalist public policy, saying that the “gap between desired fertility and actual fertility was getting wider and wider in most parts of the West”.
But Ms Mansell warned that weakening equality protections would mean “more women may feel forced to delay starting a family or decide they do not want to take that risk at all”.

This illustrates the incoherence of Reform’s platform. From the point of view of libertarian capitalism, there’s no reason that motherhood should be encouraged and protected; from the point of view of social conservatism, it’s essential. Marrying the two has always been a dodgy idea.

One rule for them. [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55933388](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55933388)

So reform wants people to have more kids. But turn around to do this?

If the US is anything to go by the whole “Making it harder for women to have jobs and families” is part of the plan

But Reform says they are ‘ pronatalist’ I assume that means getting mothers out of the workforce, just like Farage’s US anti abortion mates .

I’m an ardent Reform opposer, but this article seems a bit of a non-starter based on speculation. Unless I’ve missed something Reform haven’t actually said they’ll remove maternity leave or those protections – it’s just charities surmising this because they want to scrap the Equality Act.

I mean, I completely trust they would do this based on their previous comments – especially those of Matt Goodwin but this article doesn’t actually seem to provide a specific quote of Reform saying this.

As much as I hate Reform, I also hate incendiary media regardless of what side they’re pushing it on. It’s not helpful.

They are adopting MAGA’s ‚Own the libs‘ strategy, their base doesn’t care if policy harms them as long as they get to see someone they disagree with visibly upset.

And people want these clowns to run the country.

Jesus wept.

No workers rights, no women’s right, no equality rights, no human right, no renters rights.

The “protect our women and children” brigade at it again

Reform policy is straight up „we hate and despise all women and will make their life worse guaranteed“ but let’s talk more about the Greens for some reason.

Do not take for granted what the equalities act has given us. Reform will happily revoke it without a plan and blame the chaos on the people. Don’t give them that chance.

Yes, we (with brains) know this.

Unison put out a 30 page pdf on what Reform will do and how it will impact working, ordinary people.

Unfortunately, ‚we want change, immigrants out‘ is a surprisingly winning strategy for the English (and the Welsh it seems).

Isn’t this irony as they want more births because they are in hallucination that aliens are coming in boat, but at the same time they can’t provide any arrangements.

This is what my biggest argument has been against reform.

Generally speaking, I support a lot of ideologies aligned with the left, however I am also much wanting stricter immigration laws, as well as generally being against normalisation of islam becoming part of general societal life and influence which has absolutely been happening, and I hazard a lot of reform voters feel the same way.

But reform getting in – even ignoring all of their idiotic policies and corruption – would be devastating to women’s rights and women’s safety given Nigel and his cronies’ track record on parliament voting regarding those issues.
