Whilst supporting sexist Robert Kenyon from Makerfield as he attempts to become MP in the upcoming by-election, Suella Braverman has announced Reform UK’s ‘Women and Motherhood Protection Act’ as she states that the far-right party will ‘back working mums’ and:
stand up for women.
Taking aim at the Labour government, Braverman argued Starmer’s party:
believes that a man can be a woman, has failed the victims of grooming gangs and will only let women down.
Watch Suella Braverman lay out how our Women & Motherhood Protection Act will back working mums.

Braverman believes sexists will ‘protect women’ apparently
However, two pretty glaring issues arise here: her former party, the Conservatives, were responsible for maternity policy for nearly 15 years, and her current party platforms, empowers, and pedestals abusive, sexist men.
Announcing this virtue-signalling policy, Braverman said:
I’m here in Makerfield to support our fantastic Reform UK candidate Rob Kenyon and I’m delighted to be announcing our new policy of which I’m really proud. We want Britain to be the best country in the world for working mums.
That’s why a Reform UK government will roll out the Women’s and Motherhood Protection Act, which represents the largest set of protections for women in the workplace in British history. lost their job just because they had a baby.
As a working mum myself I find that disgraceful. It is unfair and under Reform UK that ends. We will change the law to give women more maternity protections in the workplace.
We’ll make sure that the same work gets the same pay and we will make sure that unlawful discrimination stops.
As has become typical of the bigotry-stoking, hate-fueling far-right party for the super-rich, the former Tory minister took aim at Labour citing the grooming gang scandal and the now pretty worn-out attacks against trans communities.
Then, despite having done absolutely nothing to improve rights for working women when she sat in cabinet, she insisted:
Vote Reform to stand up for women. and to back working mums.
Nevertheless, this hypocrisy becomes even more glaring as she joins Kenyon in his van in a clear attempt to rehabilitate the sexist and win over the women’s vote in the UK.
This arguably suggests that this misogynistic party has remembered that women account for half of the voting population.
Great to have @SuellaBraverman in the van to chat about our new Women & Motherhood Protection Act.
Reform will go further than any party ever has to protect women in the workplace. pic.twitter.com/IFApUv9tqg

Reform promotes sexual predators – they don’t care about women
Proving the party attracts abusive men and misogynistic attitudes which increase the threats against women – in turn, failing to protect the UK’s female population – really isn’t a difficult feat.
We wrote recently about how Reform supporters in Makerfield showed no shame stating that they would choose sexual predator Jimmy Saville if it meant unseating PM Keir Starmer.
When our own Willem Moore challenged the remarks, Lee Anderson rushed to defend the grotesque glorification of a serial sexual abuser – one accused by around 450 people, 82% of whom were women with 80% abused as children.
Predictably, Anderson’s intervention backfired spectacularly. After all, any sensible adult who respects women could see the defence was indefensible. Rather than containing the outrage by showing even a shred of humility and accountability, he poured fuel on the fire by creating AI generated images which only intensified the backlash and forced the post’s eventual deletion.
Lee Anderson now complicit in a lie.
Look at the one you’ve posted.
It’s not Rob Kenyon, and the logo is AI warped. Plus look at the union flag.
Why did your councillor Gemma Painter delete it and then her Facebook?
Because it was real.

Also, the attacks at Labour – who, yes, do not deserve to stay in power – hardly proves that Reform UK are any better. After all, victims of the grooming gang scandal demanded an apology from Farage last year after he made it abundantly clear that he was interested in ‘fighting’ for victims of sexual abuse only when the perpetrators were Pakistani Muslims.
In his mind, ‘widening the scope’ brought other women in who don’t seem to get any compassion from the millionaire party leader.
One of his former employees has also called out his blatant opportunism – similar to what we are seeing with this ‘protection’ act for women – and we’ve documented numerous times where Farage has been more than happy to mix with rapists and sex traffickers.
Moreover, a female Reform councillor has quit over sexism and bullying, which is pretty telling in itself.
However, this becomes pretty depressing when you see the level of support the party is getting and the fact it stands a very real chance of gaining power in the next general election.
Women and girls NEED genuine protection – and that’s from Reform, too
Reform UK will never be a party which genuinely protects women – that is abundantly clear to see just by who they empower, and the women that they disregard.
If women are prepared to target and vilify Muslim people or asylum seekersin the UK, they have the party’s support. If they wish to draw attention to abuse from other groups, in particular those responsible for the majority of harm – pervy patriarchal white men – they go on the attack and diminish women’s traumatic experiences instead.
Therefore, this sickening attempt to glorify and rehabilitate this party of sexists and racists as somehow the ‘beacon of hope’ for women is frankly, deplorable.
The past few months have shown that women and girls need protection from Reform – not being preached to by a bunch of hypocrites.
