Today, the Parliamentary @UKLabour Party is 52% female, as we were proud to record in this official photo this week. @LabourWomensNet ’s training and campaigning continues to play a big part in diversifying our democracy, however, @UKLabour must work to maintain this balance (2/2)

Atrocious. @HackneyAbbott may not currently be under the @UKLabour whip but no woman in public life should have to tolerate abuse &intimidation like this. Sending sisterhood. All parties need to urgently pledge to implement @JoCoxFoundation ’s Civility Commission recommendations

Saddened but not surprised to learn 1 of our most articulate voices against abuse of women in public life has been targeted. MPs feel unsafe because they currently are. Our love &solidarity to @jessphillips & her staff & family. Please, let’s #diffuseabuse

The @DailyMailUK piece about @AngelaRayner is the sort of sordid sexism no woman in public life should have to tolerate in 2022. Gutter journalism that will not succeed in belittling strong women MPs but might succeed in deterring young girls from pursuing vocations in politics.

46% of Labour MPs are women. This compares to only 24% of Conservative MPs, only 11% of SNP MPs and 0% of Reform MPs.

We are outraged that @TulipSiddiq must choose between having a baby tomorrow as planned & having her Brexit vote counted in @HouseofCommons . @andrealeadsom must act urgently to arrange a proxy vote. MP having to rearrange caesarean due to @UKParliament ’s inflexiblity is a new low

The amazing @RosieDuffield1 bringing the house down. Everything women Labour MPs say is interpreted through a prism of Blairism or Corbynism- guess what, they have their own voices and views &are not defined by *any* of our male leaders. Our sisterhood knows no factions #preach

Solidarity @charlotte2153 . Blaming women for “failing”’to report assault when the evidence shows near zero chance of conviction fundamentally misses the point. Fix the system, not the women

MP feels ‘vindicated’ in not reporting sexual assault to police

Labour’s Charlotte Nichols says she has heard ‘harrowing testimony’ from constituents who sought justice
