“I understand that a strong woman standing up to you is met with such reticence,” replies Jess Phillips to a group of men intimidating after her win. Jess then tells of how a young woman delivering leaflets yesterday was filmed and screamed at by an older man, who then slashed

Huge congratulations to Diane Abbott MP, who takes up the mantle as Mother of the House – the longest-standing woman MP. Diane is a trailblazer, first elected in 1987, and we look forward to working with her in her new position.

What a night! I couldn’t be more proud of our 4 new The Green Party MPs. And what strikes me most is that every single vote they won was a vote not for the least worst option, but a positive joyful vote for real hope & change 💚 Carla Denyer Adrian Ramsay MP Sian Berry Ellie Chowns
