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.
Ms Wheeler is the second high-profile woman from outside party politics to join Sir Keir Starmer’s team.It follows the appointment of former civil servant Sue Gray, whose report into lockdown-busting parties in Downing Street during Mr Johnson’s tenure contributed to his downfall, as Labour’s chief of staff.
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.She told The Independent it would be a “privilege” to help Labour protect women from abusive colleagues saying: “ too often suffer sexual harassment and assault and they pay a heavy price for speaking out. Knowing this, and to keep their jobs, they suffer in silence.
She will tell delegates: “That is the difference between a Tory government that pretends to care about women’s rights, and a Labour Party that delivers them.”
