A leading barrister and ex-wife of Boris Johnson is set to be appointed as Labour’s new “whistleblowing tsar”, offering advice on proposed protections for women against workplace harassment.
For those who say Starmer doesn’t have a sense of humour.
I suspected it when Starmer got Sue Gray. Marina Wheeler too just confirms it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A leading barrister and ex-wife of Boris Johnson is set to be appointed as Labour’s new “whistleblowing tsar”, offering advice on proposed protections for women against workplace harassment.
Marina Wheeler KC will help the party with its plans to strengthen employment rights to safeguard women from abusive colleagues, the Independent reported.
Former civil servant Sue Gray, whose report into lockdown-busting parties in Downing Street during Johnson’s tenure contributed to his downfall, is now Labour’s chief of staff.
The party reportedly plans to give women subjected to harassment at work “whistleblower” status to encourage them to come forward with complaints without fear of being penalised for speaking out.
Labour would also seek to give common-law wives who live with their partners the same rights, including over property, as married women should their relationship end.
Government guidance warns that: “Personal grievances (for example bullying, harassment, discrimination) are not covered by whistleblowing law, unless your particular case is in the public interest.”
