AA’s blasted in Twitter row over ‘not prioritising lone women’, drawing criticism from Canterbury MP Rosie Duffield

Our thanks to Eli for this. The start of the piece:

A Kent MP has blasted the AA after it emerged it “does not prioritise lone females” awaiting roadside assistance.

Canterbury’s MP Rosie Duffield made the comments on Twitter, after a woman shared her experience of being forced to wait “alone in the dark” when her car broke down.

Helen Mott took to the social media platform last night to share her outrage at the AA’s policy.

Addressing the firm, which provides breakdown cover to thousands in the UK, she wrote: “I am a lone woman whose car has broken down at night in the dark.

“Your call handler has told me you treat lone women and lone men as exactly the same priority in such circumstances because ‘that’s equality’.

“I am pretty sure that is not equality.

Rosie Duffield MP is a blithering idiot.
