Farage endangering women by failing to condemn paracetamol claims, says Bridget Phillipson

Bridget Phillipson, a Labour deputy leader candidate, has criticized Nigel Farage for failing to condemn Donald Trump's claims that using paracetamol during pregnancy causes autism. Phillipson, who is also the education secretary and minister for women, said she had used the painkiller throughout her second pregnancy and warned that Reform's connections with medical conspiracy theories, including anti-vaccine rhetoric, make the party a danger to public health. Phillipson accused Farage of "endangering women's health" through his "scaremongering" on autism and said the Labour party must be firmer in tackling Reform.
