      /2 Stella thinks women MPs who have babies are being badly treated when they are no differently to any other mothers who are self-employed, as MPs are. Indeed they are treated BETTER because they keep their full £77k pay even if they take 6 months off work to care for their baby

          /3 Most self-employed new mothers aren’t entitled to anything more than the statutory maternity pay pittance. They also face losing their work if they take months off, which MPs don’t.

          /4 Stella could pay someone else to do much of her job for her while she is on maternity leave. The only real issue is voting in Parliament, where clearly the rules need to be changed to allow proxy voting.

          /5 I’m also not sure what Alabama abortion rights and LGBT protests outside schools have to do with MPs’ maternity leave but hey ho. Parliament needs to join the 21st century but let’s not pretend MPs who want to care for their babies are victims. They’re not.

          You couldn’t be more wrong. SC is saying that mothers should get maternity leave and that constituencies should get MP replacement if they choose to take maternity.

          Her point is no MP can, has or would take 6 months off.

          But it’s not about that it’s about the fact this is parliament and should be best most forward practice. I didn’t get much maternity either but I still 💯 percent behind @stellacreasy. We should build women up and support each other not tear them down.

          @stellacreasy is saying that constituents are the people who are disadvantaged because if an MP takes maternity leave, they're left with no parliamentary representation. It's also about the archaic voting rules - having to attend the HoC in order to vote or participate in debate

          My heart bleeds for her. If I was a woman cab driver who was having a baby I’d lose cash everyday I was off the road. Worse if I was a single woman cab driver. Life is full of choices. Have baby then come back to politics!

          As if that’s a free choice not influenced whatsoever by several decades of social conditioning.

          She literally says its not fair on the community who lose a mp and the mp should be replaced im guessing for the amount of time the mother is off for maternity nothing to do with her personally, there you go again twisting words to fuel hatred you really are an abhorrent shitebag

          I guess her point is that many self employed women manage this choice without the benefit of a guaranteed £70k all the time. Maybe focusing on the predicament of privileged MPs is missing the mark in some way.

          I agree that mps are privileged and live in a different world to everyone else, but the point the mp is making is that her constituency loses their representation not to do with her.
