Reform UK candidate Matt Goodwin is stirring up controversy with his bold remarks on women’s issues. Just recently, a video emerged where Goodwin stresses the need to educate young women about the “biological reality” of having children earlier, all in the backdrop of a so-called “fertility crisis.” This comes hot on the heels of his earlier suggestion to implement extra taxes on those without children!
Goodwin, who is vying for a seat in the Gorton and Denton by-election, has sparked outrage, especially after appearing on a podcast with Jordan Peterson. Discussing university dynamics, the duo suggested that a rise in “politically correct authoritarianism” is influenced by childless women dominating campuses. Labour’s deputy chair Lucy Powell isn’t holding back, labelling these comments as “misogynistic and vile.” She urges Manchester voters to reject his candidacy, emphasising the city’s proud history of suffragettes and trailblazing women.
In a sharp rebuttal, Goodwin accuses Labour of spreading misinformation, cleverly flipping criticism back at them. He insists his comments are being taken out of context and advocates for an open dialogue on encouraging families in the UK.
Amid all this debate, a spokesperson for Reform UK asserts Goodwin didn’t advocate for taxing childless women but called for a mature discussion on demographic challenges. As the by-election heats up, all eyes are definitely on Gorton and Denton to see how these fiery issues resonate with the voters! What’s your take on this explosive topic?
