Reform UK Deputy Leader wants to scrap the Equality Act

Kall

(1) Richard Tice MP Flag gb on X: "We must fire all these EDI woke jobs and scrap the 2010 Equality Act which is so damaging to growth and productivity" / X

I honestly think this lot will come into power in 5 years time, and they want to scrap the equality act, which protects Autistic and other disabled people from discrimination. This means, people will be allowed to treat the disabled anyway they like and employers won't have to accomdate adjustments.

This is dangerous, and I am quite worried if they get in 5 years time, disabled people will suffer.

    The Lib Dems are cynical opportunists. I was stupidly naive enough to vote for them in 2001, as they were portraying themselves as  being to the left of New Labour.  Then when Labour's political fortunes declined and centre right 'orange book' liberal Nick Clegg became leader they dropped the 'left of New Labour' approach . They'll  change tack not out of conviction, but based on  which direction the political winds are blowing.
