Do you know a woman who’d make a great politician? #AskHerToStand today. I am joining 50:50 Parliament in encouraging women from all backgrounds to get involved in politics.
#AskHerToStand Day was AWESOME! 🙌🙏 to EVERYONE who worked together to make it happen. We ALL inspired 200 women to #SignUpToStand via 5050Parliament.co.uk & still counting! Huge 🙏to PM Rishi Sunak & party leaders Keir Starmer Ed Davey Carla Denyer for the support
"There has been a longterm lack of emphasis on policies that support parents & families" 👏 Mumsnet Justine Roberts on BBC Radio 4 Today #bbcr4today 👉Representation shapes policy 👉Let's help more women progress in politics & shape policy 👉JOIN 5050Parliament.co.uk
We've been speaking to mothers all round the world to understand their story. The familiarity with starvation and the reality of this crisis is gut wrenching. We demand that our manifesto is heard by those who CAN reverse this nightmare. #mothershungerstrike Rishi Sunak
⭐️Thrilled to be attending a screening of the amazing film ‘Suffragette’ in Parliament today organized by Labour Women's Parliamentary Staff Network & Conservative Women's Parliamentary Staff Network 👊The fight for equality is still on!

It was an honour to organise this fantastic event in Parliament last night with Women in Public Affairs to celebrate Emmeline Pankhursts 165th birthday 🥳 thanks Jess Phillips for hosting us!
This afternoon, I met women on hunger strike from Mothers Manifesto outside Parliament. Whilst I didn’t agree with everything they said, they made some very good points particularly around the need to reverse cuts in foreign aid. I have long campaigned against those cuts.
A group of mothers are taking part in a five-day hunger strike outside Parliament in a bid to highlight the struggle thousands of mothers are facing to feed their children. Emma Barnett is joined by one of the mothers ⬇️
Would you back a hunger strike for free school meals? A group of six mothers have begun a five-day hunger strike outside Parliament to draw attention to parents who are unable to feed their children. Is this OK? Yasmin alibhai-brown | Mike Parry | Storm Huntley | #stormhuntley
1 in 4 young mums in the UK skip meals to feed their children. The government's failure to ensure all children have enough to eat is disgraceful. That's why Mothers Manifesto are taking part in a five-day hunger strike to call for direct action to end the crisis of food insecurity
Standing in solidarity with Diane Abbott She's a trailblazer for women, especially those from minority ethnic backgrounds #FrankHester comments were abhorrent & dangerous To show true remorse he should donate his millions to campaigns which #InspireInclusion BBC Radio 4 Today
Amazing to see these women stand in solidarity with parents struggling to feed their children. Totally agree Mothers Manifesto 👏
Help support some amazing mums today. Pls follow and support the work of Mothers Manifesto who are currently engaging on a hunger strike outside parliament, protesting about food poverty in the UK. Pls show solidarity.
