Great workshop hosted by @theParliamentP Labour Training with Rachel Reeves and Claire Reynolds LabourWomensNetwork demystifying the process of standing for the party. #GetReadyToStand #EqualPower ❤️

Being part of Nesta Democracy Pioneers network has been a total joy over the past six months. I wrote about it and why work to bring together the democracy sector is needed now more than ever.

We are holding 2 events in Scotland for women who are considering standing as an MSP or as a Councillor. At 35% and 29% respectively, there is an urgent need for increased representation of women in elected positions. #EqualPower #RepresentationMatters #GenderParity

We just finished an amazing conversation with 85 women about getting in to politics as a BAME woman. Such a joy to find community together. Enormous respect to Zainab (She/Her) @JackieTVillia for facilitating and our glorious friends MWNUK for hosting. Its time for #EqualPower !

Such an ace online workshop this evening. I so so love that @theParliamentP and zoom bring together women from across the UK to encourage and support each other. Now on to the work of getting all those women elected....

These heroes went through every council website in the UK and coded the ethnicity of all 20,000+ councillors. They find significant under-representation: just 7% are from an ethnic minority background, vs est. 14% of UK population. But big step fwd to have such robust data!

#WorldParliamentDay reminds us that more women in decision-making roles is vital & here I explore the importance of support networks and campaigns to encourage more women into parliament.

What a joy to be part of the @theParliamentP team, facilitating space for this fantastic circle of women who connect, share, support, encourage and inspire each other on their journeys to elected office. I am energised by this community of women and hopeful for the future. ✊📣

This is why I go to work @theParliamentP every day! How is the Government not embarrassed by this? It’s time for #EqualPower

At the Mayoral hustings WOW - Women of the World and feel so proud of the diversity of candidates that our glorious city has to offer for May’s election. It is so refreshing to see only one white man on the ticket. This is the politics that interests me!

I’m having an ace day representing @theParliamentP WOW - Women of the World This is my church! I love the space created here to engage in meaningful conversations with strangers. Thank you to those that put in the hard work to make this weekend a reality! 🙏🏽
