Giving her first major interview since winning the Runcorn and Helsby by-election for Reform this summer, Sarah Pochin was keen to stress she wouldn’t be messed around by the men of the notoriously stale, male party.
While stressing that she was “not a feminist”, Pochin told the Times that she “never felt at a disadvantage”. “It’s all very new for them having more women, but for me it’s just a job,” she said. “I have worked all my life in male-dominated businesses, starting with selling marine lubricants for Shell.” Of her new colleagues, she said: “Most male MPs were lovely. There were a couple who were chauvinistic, but I can deal with that.”

Yesterday Lee Anderson – for it is he – posted a video on, inevitably, X of him preparing for prime minister’s questions in his office with Pochin removing the wrinkles from his shirt. “Reform women getting stuck in for Lee Anderson!,” she cheered, while her boss explained that “I normally do my own shirts but this woman’s come in this morning interfering with my office. Look at her, she’s took [sic] it off me.”
It really is all very new for them!
