The best thing that can be said about the latest election fiasco is that
at least Reform didn't get in. Reform and co, whilst trumpeting their
defence of (white) women, represent everything that we should fear about
politicians. They have announced their 'women and motherhood protection
act' whilst promising to rip up the Equality Act, and the Employment
Rights Act which offers some protection to women, and the equal Pay for
work of Equal Value Act. They clearly intend to make massive cuts in
public sector care and health services, which offer (albeit low-paid)
employment for women, as well as supporting them in caring
responsibilities. Existing inadequate childcare facilities will be cut
along with any support for working mothers.
It is well-documented that
many of their candidates
and elected officials have
convictions for sexual
abuse and violence against
women. Many have
made outrageous public
misogynistic statements and
generally their behaviour
is macho and misogynistic.
In the name of protecting
women and girls, they
invent and inflate reports of
migrant, especially Muslim,
attacks on women whilst
ignoring appalling attacks
perpetrated by white
'English' men.
As for the tussle over
leadership of the Labour
Party, it seems pointless
and certainly will make
no difference to working
class women. The only
appreciable difference
between them is that Andy
Burnham is slightly betterlooking than Starmer and
a better communicator.
Neither holds out much
hope for women and
migrant/immigrant people.
As usual the only way
forward for working class
women is to organise
in our workplaces and
communities, not to put
any hope in elections of
politicians who do not have
our interests at heart. Selforganisation and building
solid communities are the
only way to defeat this
scum
