Trans activist who disrupted Kathleen Stock is daughter of four-day-week council boss
msn.comProf Kathleen Stock is the daughter of a council boss who introduced a four-day working week. Riz Possnett’s mother Liz Watts was working on a PhD thesis on the topic when South Cambridgeshire District Council last year became the first to implement a trial to cut hours while staff remain on the same pay.
The 19-year-old’s father Robert Possnett is an Extinction Rebellion protester who has been arrested a number of times. Following in his footsteps, Miss Possnett glued a hand to the floor of the Oxford Union as the debating society heard from Prof Stock, a gender critical feminist, on Tuesday.
The protester was removed by police. Sir John Hayes, Tory MP and chairman of the Common Sense Group, has questioned whether the student activist has gone “off the rails” because she has come from a “deranged bourgeois liberal family, blinded by privilege”.
Ms Possnett was involved in a band called “Working Class Broccoli” but it has emerged that the family live in a five-bedroom home with a swimming pool in a Suffolk village, estimated to be worth £850,000.
