Sinnott shocked by ally’s attack on women’s rights

NEWLY elected MEP Kathy Sinnott is having to reconsider the political group she joined on her first day in the European Parliament after one of its members came out against women’s rights.

UK Independence Party MEP Godfrey Bloom said he believed women did not clean behind the fridge enough and he was going to represent men’s rights.

He was nominated by UKIP to serve on the Women’s Rights Committee and said he would work to remove rights such as paid maternity leave.
