So there we have it. Reform UK want to repeal the Equality Act.
This is the law that:
Stops your boss sacking you for being pregnant.
Protects disabled workers who need adjustments to do their job.
Backs up equal pay for women.
Stops people from being harassed at work because they’re LGBT+.
Makes it illegal to refuse someone a job or a service because of their race or religion.

Not the cost of living.
Not NHS waits.
Not wages. (They said they’d actually them CUT for young people)
But YOUR rights.
THEIR culture wars would TEAR UP protections that millions of hardworking Brits rely on every day.
NO THANKS ❌
