Anyone else noticed the media panic about falling birth rates, and how quickly it turns into blaming women? 👀 Birth rates in the UK are at historic lows, with deaths now outnumbering births for the first time in decades 📉 With one MP even suggesting we should “bonk for Britain”. But before anyone starts telling women we need more babies, let’s be honest about why people aren’t having them. Childcare costs are crippling 💸 Maternity services are shrinking 🏥 Around 74,000 women a year are forced out of work due to the cost of childcare and lack of flexible working, widening the gender pay and pension gaps 📊 Fertility testing and treatment remain prohibitively expensive 🧬 Women still carry the bulk of the unpaid domestic and emotional labour 🧠 Many women can’t find emotionally available men who want to be true equals And some women simply don’t want children, now they finally have the freedom to choose If governments are serious about birth rates, they should start by fixing the systems that make motherhood financially, professionally and emotionally punishing. For years, women have been shamed no matter what we do. Don’t have babies if you can’t afford them. Don’t pick the wrong man. Don’t be a single mum. Don’t wait too long. Don’t want them at all. “Keep your legs closed.” The message was never really about responsibility. It was about control. For the first time in history, many women are financially independent and know that happiness and fulfilment don’t only come with a marriage certificate or a birth certificate ✨ And we’re not giving that up for fear-mongering headlines. Rolling back rights, pushing us into outdated gender roles or blaming women as if we’re just baby-making machines won’t increase birth rates. It will just make more women choose different paths, on our own terms 💪 And notice how falling birth rates are always framed as a failure of women’s choices and bodies, never men’s behaviour, never policy, never power. Maybe start by seeing women as people, not reproductive infrastructure ❤️ #fyp

Should women pay less tax than men? @Ashley James says the fight for equality isn’t that simple…
I wish I didn’t have a need for this costume or that I could keep it to Halloween, but it feels like our rights and respect are being attacked weekly - and not just from losers in the manosphere but from world leaders like the president of the United States and those making decisions about laws that effect us. I first read the handmaids tale when I was 18, 20 years ago now. I loved it straight away but it felt like a dystopian world so distant from our present - although of course I knew she’d written about everything that had happened somewhere in the world. I felt like we were living in a time of progression. Now I can’t even watch the series because it feels too close to our reality. It’s awful to view men discussing our bodies, our reproductive rights and all our other hard faught for battles - like they should be entitled to an opinion. This week we are building up to yet another international women’s day where we see how far from equality we have to go. Where Trump, Farage and the likes are being louder in their disrespect towards our journalists or our athletes or women in general. I wrote my book to offer an antidote - to help us reclaim our voices and our confidence so we say enough is enough. Together we can - and we must - keep fighting back. Until then, this outfit will have to keep coming out. ❤️ #fyp

Does anyone else feel genuinely terrified at the thought of a Reform government? As a woman, as someone not born into elite circles… I think we should all be afraid. I’m scared for our NHS and public services and I’m terrified of the UK sliding into USA territory. what I see is a party filled with the same people who brought us austerity, who partied while we couldn’t say goodbye to loved ones, who gutted youth services, cut police numbers, underfunded prisons until the system is now “full”, and normalised food banks. We’ve lived this already. It’s also theit tone and lack of empathy. It’s the constant division and obsession with punching down. Most of us, me included, would rely on the state if something awful happened. If I couldn’t work. If my child was sick. If I became disabled. And instead of talking about rebuilding the NHS, fixing social care, making childcare affordable, properly funding schools, tackling male violence, we’re told the real threat is immigrants and trans people. It’s the Trump playbook - create a culture war and keep people angry at each other to protect those at the top. Male violence is a gender issue, not an immigration one. Trans women are far more likely to experience violence than cause it. Culture wars will never lower your rent. Scapegoating minorities won’t fund your GP. And “low taxes” won’t feel like much if we’re paying out of pocket for healthcare. The idea of leaving the ECHR or scrapping the Equality Act genuinely haunts me. That’s not “wokeness” it’s our basic protection from power. What chills me most is the Handmaids Tale rhetoric around women’s reproductive health and the sneering at women who don’t have children, while simultaneously making it harder to work and raise a family. We need to pay attention. Especially when we’ve seen how quickly our rights can be rolled back. The only people giving me any sense of hope right now are Zack Polanski and the Greens. 💚 We deserve better than recycled austerity dressed up as rebellion. We deserve better than grifters. ❤️ #fyp

Are men ok? That’s the question on Stylist’s cover today - a magazine for women. I’ll share on stories for context. And it feels especially relevant to this, because when we talk about patriarchy, this is exactly the point people miss: Patriarchy doesn’t just harm women. It harms men too. We can see it everywhere. In loneliness, in mental health, in the fear of vulnerability. Boys are still being raised to believe that showing emotion is weakness. That being “like a girl” is an insult. That they have to be strong, dominant, successful at all costs. But here’s where I feel conflicted. Women have always been taught to care for men. To understand them and fix them - even when it’s not good for us like in early dating.We are the ones expected to empathise. And I don’t see the same urgency when it comes to men engaging with women’s experiences. Research shows men don’t listen to women led podcasts / books - like we do. Yes, Rav might be worried his girlfriend will find someone “better”… but too often we see that insecurity show up as control, jealousy, or worse. Yes, Brad might be struggling with alcohol… but we know how often that pain is taken out on the women closest to him. Yes, Callum might be worried about being a good dad… but he’s navigating a system that still expects men to work long hours while women carry the load at home. That is patriarchy. The same system that tells men not to cry is the one that teaches women to shrink. The same system that weaponises “like a girl” is the one that keeps us all in our place . But women are not responding to that harm by assaulting and killing men. So yes - we should care about men. We should talk about men. But we also need men to recognise the system too. To see how it shapes them, and how it harms us. To want to challenge it, not defend it. Because until “like a girl” isn’t an insult… none of us are free from it.

Do you think a woman should “put it away” after a certain age? Can you believe I had to deal with this on a post-NTAs hangover with Piers Morgan? My favourite thing is Nick’s face – he’s been around me long enough to know what was about to be unleashed. 🫣👀🤣 But let’s actually break it down… why do we expect older women to cover up? I used to absorb that messaging too. But if you think about it, it suggests that young women don’t have to cover up because men like to look – which is gross in itself. But also, let’s be honest, even young girls are shamed for wearing little clothing because we equate a woman’s clothing and body with her morals and worth in a way that we just don’t with men. Women don’t dress for men or their approval. And who gets to decide what’s “acceptable” for us to wear anyway? We’re all different. But if a man can walk around topless without being slut shamed, then we deserve the same respect because our respect should not be dependent on our outfits and nor should our bodies be tied to our morals. There’s so much ageism against Madonna, but she’s been critiqued for her outfits since she was young. It’s misogyny – the constant attempt to police women’s bodies and confidence. Words like “slut,” “tart,” “whore,” and “lamb dressed as mutton” are all designed to keep us small, invisible, and insecure. But also, god forbid we look “prudish,” “frumpy,” or like we’ve “let ourselves go.” 🙃 I actually discuss this in a lot more detail in my book BIMBO - which you can preorder in my bio. 😉 These beliefs are so deep rooted we need to do some serious work to unlearn it and unpick our own internalised misogyny. And don’t get me started on the way women are pitted against each other. Taylor, Beyoncé, Madonna – they’re all queens. 👑 Meanwhile, I wish men would start dressing for us. Honestly, we’d probably cover them up a lot more – maybe even with a muzzle so they stop talking nonsense. 🤪

He must be a sucker for punishment because Piers Morgan keeps coming back on This Morning with me 😂 This week is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Week, and I wasn’t letting him get away with yet again telling me – a woman – what women want in a man, while pushing the dangerous narrative that men showing emotion is “weak”. Loose Men’s Big Mental Health Survey found that almost half of men wouldn’t cry in front of their friends, and only 18% have cried in the last month. That’s not strength. That’s social conditioning. This is the frustrating part of feminism for me. We KNOW patriarchy harms men too – and in turn, it harms women. When boys grow up being told that crying “makes you weak”, that liking “girls’ toys” is shameful, and that doing anything “like a girl” is an insult, we teach them that femininity – and therefore women – are inferior. But we also completely box them in emotionally. We raise men who have to suppress normal human feelings, and that suppression doesn’t disappear. It turns into anger, loneliness, conflict, stress, and breakdowns behind closed doors. 🧠 Suicide is still the leading cause of death for men under 50. 💔 And the leading cause of death for women? Male violence. These things are connected. This is a crisis. I want my son to grow up knowing he can cry, dance, laugh, be sensitive, be silly, be emotional, be soft – even wear dresses if he wants to. Because you can’t stop people being who they are. But you can shame them out of their authenticity – and that shame spills into adulthood, relationships, parenting, and mental health. The solution isn’t telling men to “man up”. *That* is toxic masculinity. The solution is giving them permission to be human. Because we all have human emotions and I want men and boys to thrive. And to stop hurting us. ❤️ #fyp #thismorning

Today is voting day and I need you to go and vote 🗳️ I know politics feels exhausting. I know the system has let people down. But staying home is not neutrality - it is still a choice. And if you don’t use your voice, somebody else will make decisions for you. The lower the turnout, the greater the chance the far right has of winning seats. Reform are presenting themselves as anti-establishment outsiders, but many of the people behind the party are the very politicians who gave us austerity, crumbling public services, and years of division - now repackaged through the lens of culture wars and fear. And while we are busy fighting each other over immigration, nobody is asking why our NHS is on its knees, why childcare is unaffordable, or why public services have been stripped to the bone. Our immigration system is broken, but that is a failure of government, not of the human beings fleeing war and persecution who want safety, stability, and a chance to contribute. None of us want dangerous small boat crossings or people waiting months for asylum claims to be processed. I am so tired of the dehumanisation. I want my children to grow up in a country that is kind. And I want to believe that if I ever had to flee, people would be kind to us too. Leaving the ECHR and scrapping the Equality Act would not punish migrants - it would strip protections from ordinary British people. These protections exist precisely because rights should not depend on the goodwill of whoever happens to be in power. We have already watched reproductive rights rolled back in America since Roe v. Wade was overturned. Rights can be eroded when people become complacent. I am voting Green today, but more than anything I am urging people to read beyond the headlines, think critically, and make an informed choice. And if you want to help stop Reform candidates winning seats, please consider voting tactically: stopreformuk.vote Please vote. Then remind your friends, siblings, parents, nieces and nephews to get to the polling stations! Because staying home will not protect us from the consequences. I choose kindness, progress and a Great Britain 🇬🇧 #fyp

“It’s just banter.” That’s what we’re always told, isn’t it? Don’t be so sensitive. Lighten up. It’s just locker room banter. (Always until it’s someone’s daughter, of course.) But at what point do we admit that “banter” is just the socially acceptable word we use for casual sexism? If someone genuinely can’t see what’s wrong with the President of the United States openly dismissing female Olympians - gold medal winning Olympians at that - then I’m sorry, but you’re part of the problem. Because this doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in a society where we already have a gender pay gap, a pension gap, a pain gap. Where 1 in 6 women experience domestic abuse. It happens in a world where women’s sport gets less funding, less coverage and fewer opportunities. And even when women reach the very top, they still aren’t spared the disrespect. The worst part wasn’t just the comment, it was the laughter. The silence from every single person in that room. I think what some men don’t understand is that when there’s one man in a room being misogynistic, he isn’t the only problem. It’s every other man who laughs along. Every man who stays quiet because it’s awkward or easier. Silence protects the culture that makes us the punchline. And that’s how it survives. I’m tired. We’re tired! of the blatant sexism and of it being brushed off as humour. Tired of men in power saying outrageous things and other men pretending it’s harmless. Whether it’s calling female journalists “piggy” or excusing it as locker room talk - it’s the same pattern. Men, we need you to speak up in the room. Because we are not prepared to tolerate it anymore. And I don’t want to have to teach my daughter that she’ll have to tolerate disrespect simply because of her gender. The best part of this whole story? Flava Flav inviting the women’s team to Vegas to celebrate properly - and then extending it to the entire female Olympic and Paralympic teams. Global brands reaching out to support and give the women the celebration they deserve! It shows how easy it is to be an ally. How easy it is to uplift women’s sport instead of diminishing it. 🏆 #fyp

A snippet from my the audio of my book BIMBO! The biggest contradiction I see from men? “Not all men”… until they have a daughter. I used this line from my book because it’s something I think about all the time… When dads say their daughters won’t be allowed to date until they’re older, I always want to ask - who are you protecting them from? Men? WHY IS THAT? 👀 So many men will say “not all men” when women talk about safety, or dismiss our fears as man-hating… but then the second they have a daughter, suddenly they don’t trust men at all. I think a lot is to do with the Madonna / Whore complex where so many people think women deserve to be treated a certain way so they need to make sure their daughter is Madonna. I saw a video this week of a man proposing to his own daughter with a purity ring, asking her to promise him her virginity. And I just… it made me feel so uncomfortable. Not just because it’s strange, but because it reinforces this idea that women’s bodies are something to be protected, controlled, or even owned by men. First by fathers, then by husbands. 🤮 But our bodies don’t belong to anyone else. They’re not something to guard, or give away, or promise to someone. And instead of raising girls to be “protected”, maybe we should be asking why we’re not raising boys in a way that makes us feel safe. Because women have always known what we’re navigating. We don’t suddenly realise it when we have daughters. We’ve lived it. We’ve always known it! The audio is taken from my book BIMBO, where I explore how women and girls are controlled and shamed through language, labels and outdated expectations - and how sexual double standards are used to keep us small and controlled. ❤️ #fyp

A snippet from my the audio of my book BIMBO! The biggest contradiction I see from men? “Not all men”… until they have a daughter. I used this line from my book because it’s something I think about all the time… When dads say their daughters won’t be allowed to date until they’re older, I always want to ask - who are you protecting them from? Men? WHY IS THAT? 👀 So many men will say “not all men” when women talk about safety, or dismiss our fears as man-hating… but then the second they have a daughter, suddenly they don’t trust men at all. I think a lot is to do with the Madonna / Whore complex where so many people think women deserve to be treated a certain way so they need to make sure their daughter is Madonna. I saw a video this week of a man proposing to his own daughter with a purity ring, asking her to promise him her virginity. And I just… it made me feel so uncomfortable.

Oops, I did it again. You told me to go more copper so I listened, what do you think? 💁🏼‍♀️🍑 Since making my hair patchy with the toner I went back to see my girl Zoe and we decided to add some tapes. We were about to go back peach and then both looked at each and said: shall we just go for it? It feels like so much more of a LEWK this way and whilst I might not keep it forever (or maybe this will become my new personality?) - I feel like a bad ass Superhero. 🦸‍♀️ What would my superhero name and power be? Fighting for equality? Taking down misogynists? 🤪 Zoe created the colour mixing about 5000 different colours from @davines_uk (Bronze, Ruby, 8,33 and 8,44 - she’s a wizard). 📍Taylor Taylor London, Portobello Road. I love being blonde and it’s definitely my identity but I felt so blonde blind and bored so this feels like a nice autumnal change. I’ve been talking about getting copper hair for so long and not been brave enough, so here we are being brave. It’s just hair after all. Thank you all so much for the nudge to go for it. 🥰🙏 #fyp #hairtransformation #transition

When the haters call me woke, all I hear is: I care about people. One of the strangest “insults” of our time has to be being called woke. It reminds me of when “feminist” was twisted into a caricature – bra-burning, man-hating, “unattractive” women. Words weaponised to silence us. The truth is: I am woke. Proudly. Because woke simply means caring about equality – regardless of someone’s skin colour, sexuality, sex, or class. I want my children to grow up knowing they can be whoever they want, love whoever they want, and live free from prejudice. And I want them to grow up never being anyone else’s bully. Unless you’re a rich, straight, white man – every one of us benefits from dismantling oppression. Equality serves us all. Being socially aware isn’t new. It’s why we have rights and freedoms today – because people before us fought for them. So yes, I’ll always use my voice and my privilege to stand for justice. I’ll keep unlearning the biases I’ve absorbed. And I’ll keep calling out the lies that pit us against immigrants, against trans people, against each other – instead of those truly responsible for systemic failure and underfunding. Here’s to being woke. My badge of honour – and one I know my children will look back on proudly, when times progress and they wonder what side of history their parents stood on. ✨ #fyp

I can’t stop thinking about this case 💔 Two teenage girls were raped in two separate incidents by a group of boys, and the judge decided prison was not necessary. These girls not only experienced the trauma of rape, but then the humiliation of footage being shared online, with one reportedly called a “slag.” They still found the courage to report it, endure a court process where victims so often feel like they’re the ones under scrutiny, and then listen to concern being shown for the futures of the boys responsible. What message does that send? Women and girls already live with the reality of sexual violence shaping so much of our lives. The “text me when you get home.” The keys between our fingers. The knowledge that if something happens, the victim will likely be questioned more than the perpetrator. In England and Wales, 1 in 4 women have been raped or sexually assaulted since the age of 16, yet fewer than 3 in 100 rapes recorded by police result in a charge. We’re still reeling from the Epstein revelations and the lack of accountability. We can see in plain sight how powerful men are protected and excused. When Spain passed a law simply saying sex without consent is rape, conservative politicians argued their biggest concern was that it would be unfair to men. Too often, the conversation centres the impact accusations have on men more than the impact sexual violence has on women. As Gisèle Pelicot said, shame must change sides. But we can’t do it alone. I want judges who are good judges of character. I want sexual violence treated with the seriousness it deserves. And I want a system that stops failing survivors. It shouldn’t take national outrage for justice to be served. #fyp

Absolutely delighted to announce I am the new Prime Minister. Only joking. 😅 It was an absolute honour to be invited by Keir Starmer to 10 Downing Street to celebrate International Women’s Day. 💖💪 The room was full of incredible women from across business, charity, the military and the creative industries. It genuinely made me stop and think about just how many women are out there doing extraordinary work in the fight for equality and safety for women and girls. We had the chance to chat with both Keir and Victoria Starmer, and yes, the highlight was of course meeting Larry the Cat. 🐾 I was last invited to Downing Street by Theresa May, and I feel really proud to have had conversations with politicians across different parties. My drive has always been the same: to work with elected governments to push for positive change, so our daughters grow up in a world that is safer and more accepting than the one we inherited. ❤️ Thank you Sir Keir Starmer for having me. 🙏 #fyp #feminism

Should men get priority over women for weight loss jabs? Ashley James argues no, as women are already at a disadvantage when it comes to healthcare.

I still cannot believe he agreed to do this with me. 🤣🙌🏻 Who do you think has it worse - him putting up with me or me with him? In all honesty, I love getting to do This Morning with Nick. We get to debate and challenge each other and more importantly bring the conversations that people are having at home onto the most iconic sofa in a respectful way. I always hope to make people consider a different perspective as I try to be respectful of others opinions (unless they are racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic of course) and I’m going to take it as a win that I shifted Nick’s perspective on women’s earnings and equality today! I’ll get the proof. 😎 Honestly I’m so grateful always for getting to sit on that sofa and I can’t thank you enough for all the messages you send me every week. ❤️ #fyp #thismorningitv
