UK has got ‘fat’ on decades of free labour by women

[SumUp]

It’s good that a politician is finally pointing this out.

She’s absolutely correct.

I love Jess Philips.

She's not wrong.

I certainly think that women suffer in terms of pensions compared to men because we are providing so much free care to children, elderly parents etc for most of our best working years. I would like to see that rectified.

Spot on.

Jess Phillips has always been a great MP. We need more like her and rather than the Eton alumni we seem intent on voting in.

Totally agree. 👍🏼

I don’t always agree with everything she says but she’s bang on there and I admire her for saying it.

Good for her saying this, generations of free labour where men and capitalism have profited.

Spot on Jess.
