Labour MP @stellacreasy is pregnant and says she is “forced to choose between being an MP and a mum”. Her story is heartbreaking, but... 1/https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jun/17/pregnant-mp-maternity-leave-equality-stella-creasy …

What a sorry state of affairs when a leader is of the thinking that they should have better conditions than those they’re leading. Surely it’s the other way around?

I remember working with a fiery Irish lady who said HUH! I was working up until two weeks before my 6th Baby!! My Wife was still working at 72 because she wanted to and sadly died this april from heart Failure, I could have stopped her but that would have stopped her being her!

I want to care but it's Stella Creasy.

Try being a teacher and a mother! Or a nurse! Let alone self employed! Sorry but if she's on an a near £80k salary she has to deal with it like every other mother on this planet. If MP rules need changing for voting, that's different.

Yeah I'm sure there are many similar stories. I was a single mother to 2 boys 3 and 4 working 40+ hours a week for e.g. Decent job but not £80k! That aside I have to be honest and say I just can't stand the woman. I'm just fed of everything being such a big deal & victimhood

That's a funny sort of "heartbreaking". Hate Fact: you cannot do any two full time jobs (for example, MP, mother) at once. Reality doesn't care about social justice.

If an MP cannot represent their constituancies and attend parliament then Sorry but this is a cake where if a woman wants a family she has to choose or find a husband willing to be a house husband

Probably the only thing she's concerned about is the loss of revenue from her expence account!

Thank you Julia, for us ordinary people this is yet another example of how extraordinarily "entitled" your average MP is.

In a lot of cases, women are giving their kids to strangers and missing out on the best years of their lives so they can afford foreign holidays and a load of material crap like ipads, huge tvs and pre-prepared meals/eating out. It's not the way to live.

Is it just me, or have you completely missed the point? Again.
@stellacreasy's point is that she has a responsibility to represent her constituents, you know, that's what MPs are FOR...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
