Victoria Derbyshire humiliates Zia Yusuf on Reform UK's plan to scrap the Equalities Act, because, as she reads each of the things from the Equalities act he confirms they'll still be protected 🤷♂️

Not sure why Reform announcing they’ll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasn’t provoked widespread alarm.
They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination.

What the hell?
FFS, media. Tell people what this really means.

Reform: an undeniably racist, misogynistic, transphobic, disability-sceptic party with disturbing links to christofascist MAGA… wants to leave the ECHR and scrap the Equality Act, removing our rights and protections.

Really sad that what I once thought was a success story from my native NE Scotland has unravelled. I remember speaking to my uncle (a farmer) in positive terms about them one day when he warned me about issues I had not heard of. You cannot hide issues in local communities and word had spread.
