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.

  • one they will not get in two if they do they will not do this just like the Tories have constantly threatened to tear up the H.R.A and leave the court they never have done try not to worry he is just playing to a populist crowd and in my view is not a serious politician.

    In fact the Equality Act does need amending I have used this when getting bother and forms not abiding and they ignore

    I suspect that it is not the disability aspects of the Equality Act that are at issue, but rather issues around gender, sexuality and race/ethnicity.  The Disability Discrimination Acts  1995,2010,2018 had their faults, but at least they were specific to disability.  Now the " EDI agenda " has been overtaken by issues around race, sexual orientation and gender, and anybody who raises any equality issues is dismissed as "woke".
