It’s been a lifelong dream to rep Labour on the ballot paper, a party I believe in so much 😍 We’ve lived through so many challenges. Austerity. Brexit. Partygate. Mini budget. But change will only happen if you vote for it. On the 4th July #VoteChange #VoteLabour 🌹🗳️

I had an experience on the radio this morning. The presenter completely overlooked the ending of tampon tax and instead, aired a transphobic rant. I'm left feeling confused and angry. If you stand for equality, you do so for everyone. This is a win, for everybody. Period. <3

Tune in to @itvnews this Friday at 6pm to find out why we’re lobbying retailers to lower the price of period products in line with #TamponTax ending, especially during the cost of living crisis. Period! Thank you so much for covering this @AmritITV and filming with me today ✨

Feeling very lucky to have given a #TEDTalk at LSE! Speaking up about the people we have been taught not to see power in and celebrating the mere 9% of the world’s heads of government who are women (plus #TamponTax of course..!) ✨ 💕
