Ridiculous. If shop assistants (of either sex) wish to earn more by becoming warehouse workers, then they should damn well apply to become warehouse workers. To compare the two jobs is ridiculous, for many reasons, and only done in a bid to raise women’s earnings, without requiring them to do equivalent work (Wimbledon equal pay, anyone?) The end of the BBC piece:

Asda said: “Our hourly rates of pay in stores are the same for female and male colleagues and this is equally true in our depots.

“Pay rates in stores differ from pay rates in distribution centres because the demands of the jobs in stores and the jobs in distribution centres are very different; they operate in different market sectors and we pay the market rate in those sectors regardless of gender.”

Asda intends to apply to the Supreme Court to appeal against the ruling there. We wish them every success.

Enjoy (video, 36:40). At the end it’s announced this is going to be a weekly series. We look forward to future episodes.

Our thanks to John for this good news published by the Telegraph four days ago. In 2015 he lost his Birmingham Yardley seat to Jess Phillips, who supported the woman later found to be a false accuser. We covered that story in 2017, here.

Just published. I know nothing about totalpolitics.com, and now have no wish to know about them, given this piece of garbage. Another day, another tedious, irrelevant, evidence-ignoring, left-wing website. Enjoy:

A couple of years ago, Conservative MP Philip Davies was polishing his credentials as a Commons dinasour (sic) by cosying up to the Justice for Men and Boys (J4MB) party, which has a not-so-distinguished track record of fighting against initiatives to improve gender diversity in the boardroom. [J4MB: Hmm, why might Campaign for Merit in Business have fought against those initiatives since 2012? Here’s a wild thought. Maybe it’s because longitudinal studies have shown that increasing the proportion of women on corporate boards leads to corporate financial decline? Yes, that’s probably the reason…]

So what did progressive parliamentarians make of Davies tabling a surprise amendment extending proxy voting to women who have suffered miscarriages?

“Even a stopped clock is right twice a day,” a shocked Lib Dem deputy leader Jo Swinson told the Commons. “So while I disagree with much of what he said, there are none the less some good suggestions for progress in some of the amendments he has tabled.”

The SNP’s Pete Wishart told colleagues: “I used to gently chide him when he was a new Member, calling him “Dinosaur Jr”. He is now a fully-fledged member of the dinosaur community, but his interest just goes to show that even dinosaurs may change their horns.”

As the Commons backed plans to allow MPs to vote by proxy, Davies’ wider point was that the reforms did not go far enough to treat MPs fairly. He asked: “Why is the primary carer of someone who is seriously ill less deserving of a proxy vote?” In comments that even his old J4MB mates might side with, he also stated: “We have to look at why fathers and mothers are being treated so differently.”

While some MPs took the opportunity to throw backhanded compliments at Davies, at least one former cabinet minister was a bit kinder. David Davis told MPs: “His concerns are not always popular in the House, but some of them are real.”

Our thanks to Sean for this. Never forget:

Women are strong!

Women are amazing!!

Women need standards lowered to compete with men!!!

We need more white sprinters in the Olympic 100 metres sprint finals, as the MRA legend ManWomanMyth once suggested. Maybe they could be given a 20 metre start, to enable them to compete fairly with the best black sprinters? Come to that, women could start at 50 metres, people with no legs at 95 metres…
