Stella Creasy has put forward an Equal Pay Bill which would allow women to know what male colleagues earn, in an attempt to bridge the pay gap. Which is great, but since she believes a woman is anyone who says they are a woman, how would it be possible to get accurate data and comparators? Yet again, it shows that conflating sex and gender just obfuscates the issues that really matter to women.

I don't think this is great. At all. Salaries should be private, that's a huge invasion of privacy.

It's fascinating witnessing this kind of thing play out. It is baffling how she hasn't put 2 and 2 together.

She hasn’t ever come across as a very bright person to me i bracket her in the ‘reactionary’ class of MPs.
Her tone in that twitter post is exactly that: try and do the cosmetic work and hope someone else will take care of the main issue somehow. It’s depressing.

I pointed this out at some length to my MP.
