Stop making childbirth all about women, demands Rupert Lowe

The former Reform MP is fed up with women getting all the attention during childbirth and wants camp beds and hot pasta for the dads

Rupert Lowe – the independent MP for Great Yarmouth turfed out of Reform after daring to question the Dear Leader – is fighting yet another iniquity in Britain’s decaying society: women selfishly making childbirth all about themselves!

The MP has written to the Department of Health to demand changes to maternity wards including beds for fathers and lovely hot bowls of pasta for them to enjoy while the women are faffing about bringing new life into the world.

“Giving birth is obviously an incredibly challenging experience for the mother – trust me, nobody is denying that,” he writes gracefully on Facebook before coming to the more important point. “I do think though, that fathers should be shown more respect by the NHS during the whole process.

“No food provided, no basic bedding, nothing. The father is having a child too – potentially staying multiple nights, sleeping on the floor or a chair? 

“If the NHS can find hundreds of millions for translation/interpretation and the rest of the diversity bullshit, then surely a few campbeds in each ward isn’t such an impossible investment? Maybe a bowl of pasta for the dad, who does actually pay for that meal through his own taxes?”.

Lowe has now issued his demands to Wes Streeting’s health department, who will presumably be bulk-buying the Loyd Grossman’s sauces tout de suite. Wouldn’t it be a lovely touch if they did it for International Men’s Day later this month, possibly chucking in a can of Ruddle’s and a copy of the Racing Post for the blokes to enjoy while the missus makes a meal of it?
