Reform UK has a chequered history when it comes to women and families, with some of the party’s more prominent figures having faced criticism for their views.
Matt Goodwin, the party’s candidate in the upcoming Gorton and Denton by-election, has previously called for young girls to be given a “biological reality” check, as well as suggesting people who don’t have children should be taxed extra as punishment, while the party’s new head of policy, Dr James Orr, has previously argued that marriage is best for children when it is between a man and a woman.
