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.

  • I'm more than a little frustrated and disillusioned . On  one hand you had the tactically inept pro Corbyn left who put ideology above doing what's needed to win an election . Labour as a perpetual protest party. Now we have a Starmer led Labour trying to out Tory the Tories on welfare. Both in their different ways weren't/aren't getting it right. I want a radical but sensibly pragmatic Labour government. I sure as sure can be don't want one that sees being hard hearted towards the disabled and/or vulnerable as a political virtue.
