“We are grateful that Siobhan took time out of what she said was a very busy schedule to be interviewed,” said Women’s Equality Party leader Sophie Walker. “Siobhan had a very interesting exchange of views with our team, who were pleased to help clarify for her some of the finer points of our manifesto. And some of the less finer points.”

The Women’s Equality Party is contesting a total of seven seats in the general election, and has unveiled bold policies including universal free childcare, truly shared parental leave at 90% of pay, and plans for a new, caring economic model that will match investment in physical infrastructure with investment in social infrastructure.  

“We believe we could make history in this election, going from a kernel of an idea to a party with Westminster representation in under two years,” said Walker, who is contesting “anti-political correctness” Conservative candidate Philip Davies for the Yorkshire seat of Shipley. “We have fresh ideas, brilliant and diverse candidates, and a drive to work cross-party to get the job done in the quickest time. We think that’s the kind of politics that people want to see.”

Siobhan Sharpe was unavailable for comment.

The Women’s Equality Party is also very grateful for the support of Jessica Hynes, who is backing their campaign for election on 8 June.
