Harrogate WEP

WEP - Harrogate Branch. A non-partisan, collaborative force in UK politics. Because equality is better for everyone.

MPs’ salaries have increased by £16.2k since the conservatives came to power in 2010, with 8 successive pay rises.

“Name it, know it, stop it. The pandemic has kept a spotlight on domestic abuse and femicide for an unprecedented entire year. We can no longer turn away. If femicide isn’t tackled now, then when?” Great to see @ObserverUK tackle this https://t.co/DGnSyzB7CF #IWD2021 #sexMatters

[Anneliese Dodds @AnnelieseDodds]

The Conservatives wasted £2.3bn on outsourced contracts that didn’t deliver.

That’s equal to the salary costs of:

👨🏻‍🏫 41000 teachers
👮🏾 55000 police officers
👩🏻‍🚒 56000 firefighters
👨🏽‍⚕️ 64000 nurses
🛌 66000 social workers

There’s nothing fiscally responsible about this government

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Education Secretary Gavin Williamson just insulted every nurse in the country by telling viewers

“We’ve seen record increases in pay going to our nurses”

In real terms they have seen a 20% pay cut! Let’s put his bull**** straight

@GavinWilliamson listen to the people who know more about childrens and young peoples needs. Reconnection and well being are the critical factors not 'catch up'

This book is bloody brilliant @Sathnam. The education my generation should have had 40 yrs ago. #Empireland is required reading.

Thanks @soniasodha, this article is the first thing I’ve read that reflects what it’s been looking like to me

Hell hath no fury like a man forced to admit sexually inappropriate behaviour, while staff rotas were changed to protect female staff, it seems

“How Covid set women back.”

Really important piece from @rebeccacmyers on the impact of the pandemic on women.

It’s why we’re calling to #MakeWomenVisible at all levels of decision making to ensure we create a way forward that works for women. #iwd2021

Not now. Not ever.

• Workers must not be asked to shoulder the tax burden emerging from this pandemic. Britain needs a pay rise.

Let the rich pay.

• This week I will vote against a stealth tax on 25 million workers because it is the wrong thing to do.

As a proud feminist, I've made gender equality a top priority in my work. Gender parity is now a reality in top @UN jobs for the first time in history.

Only with women’s equal participation across all spheres will we benefit from the intelligence & experience of all of humanity.

[Femicide Census @FemicideCensus]

End femicide: 278 dead – the hidden scandal of older women killed by men.
We're very pleased to be working with The Observer on a campaign to raise awareness of and demand action to tackle femicide.
Today’s feature focuses on the killings of older women.

@AlecShelbrooke Great work NHS. 10% paycuts for them since 2010. Sort it now.

[Harrogate WEP @HarrogateWEP]

Entrenched misogyny.

Britain's billionaires got 35% richer during the pandemic. A windfall tax would easily fund a proper pay rise for NHS workers.
