A huge shout-out to early #LWiT champ @AnnelisseDodds for highlighting proposed changes to British Business Bank. She's meeting with a coalition of small female business owners to outline The Labour Party’s strategy, once in power, to get more women into #entrepreneurship . We applaud you 👏🌹

I want to be the first female Chancellor, close the gender pay gap once and for all - and deliver for women across our country.

Happy International Women's Day! #IWD2024

This #InternationalWomenDay2024 it is more important than ever to recognise the role of women when it comes to science and tech💪

With potential for the first female Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, much needed change for UK women and the economy will be realised🌹

🤝We completely agree - a systemic change is needed to reverse the marginalisation of women in tech

At only 26% of the sector's workforce, and similar underrepresentation in senior positions, we must create an ecosystem which welcomes and keeps women in tech roles

#WomenInTech

❗ New year, same story ❗

❌2022: Women-founded startups accounted for 1.9% of all VC funds

📈2023: early figures suggest minimal improvement

🎇2024: we must work to improve funding outcomes for women-led, tech companies and address the lack of gender diversity

Huge congratulations to Susan Bowen on her appointment as CEO at Digital Catapult! 🎉

Women sitting on tech industry boardrooms has never been more important and we are elated for work on accelerated tech adoption to be led from a more diverse perspective. Very excited for 2024!

We are in lockstep with Keir Starmer’s ambition for a UK where everyone feels the benefits of growth, under a Labour government with him as Prime Minister 🌹📈

Bridging the tech sector gaps with women's critical perspective can significantly enhance achieving this  #WomenInTech

It was great to talk to Keir Starmer
tonight in The Labour Party HQ about Labour: Women in Tech and my ambition to get more girls as women in #SouthDerbyshire into tech- to help put more money in their pocket and grow the economy. 🧵

Grateful to Liz Williams CEO of FutureDotNow for again inviting me to their latest report launch on the need to address the digital skills gap in the workplace.

It was a stellar lineup on the panels with some terrific insight shared.

#WomenInTech #WomenInSTEM

Fantastic to see Peter Kyle MP announce proposals on AI safeguards that Labour For The Long Term and others have been calling for.

To unlock AI's potential for our NHS, public services and economy, we need to get regulation right- including addressing AI safety, ethics, and bias concerns.

More evidence that Tories have let women down over the last 13 yrs—not only in failing to shift the dial to increase #womeninSTEM —but with misogynistic language behind closed doors, and outright neglect of women’s needs during COVID.

We couldn’t agree with these 1 in 5 ‘tech bros’ less and with Harriet Harman more!

Our campaign to get more #WomenInTech continues along with trying to educate and enlighten these 1 in 5 men.

#WomenInSTEM #EquityDiversityAndInclusion

Two key tests for Rishi Sunak at the AI Summit:

(1) Will he do anything about the current impact of AI on work and people’s lives?

(2) Will he win international agreement on Britain’s role on tech regulation in the future?

Failure will mean the summit itself has failed.
