We need to talk about the right’s new voter suppression target: Women
The SAVE Act would make it harder for married women in particular to vote, and that is just one part of the MAGA right's misogynist project.

Maybe to stop people pointing out that:
a) All Reform MPs voted against the Workers’ Rights Bill
b) He took a hefty salary from a Hungarian far-right organisation
c) He doesn’t even live in the area—and likely won’t be seen after the election
d) All of the above?🤔
