Really powerful speech from #JCWIL grad Marie Tidball MP - one of many striking #IWD speeches in Parliament this week showing why equality and diversity in representation matters.
Dr Marie Tidball MP@MarieTidball

I was anorexic from when I was 14. During my #IWD speech, I read passages about that experience, which I wrote 20 years ago, whilst recovering from my last major surgery. Sex, relationships & disability remain a taboo, with many disabled women facing the same anguish today.

She wasn’t a suffragette. She came through the trade unions — and history didn’t quite know what to do with her. Margaret Bondfield was Britain’s first female cabinet minister — so why is she barely remembered? Her biographer @NanSloane joins us to explore her life and legacy. Listen now: buff.ly/RYXZLuB

'There is never a final list' We send our solidarity to @jessphillips for her commitment to this vital but heartbreaking task, and to her tremendous efforts on behalf of victims
CountingDeadWomen@CountDeadWomen

Today during the International Women’s Day parliamentary debate @jessphillips will read the names of women killed since IWD 2025 where the suspect is male. We sent her the ‘final’ version of the list last night. This morning, we’ve had to add 2 women. There is never a final list

Thanks to Jen Craft for raising this important issue with fellow MPs, and pushing for a meeting with Travelodge
BBC Breakfast@BBCBreakfast

'How can we be assured that women are safe while they stay at those hotels' Labour MP Jen Craft spoke to #BBCBreakfast after the boss of Travelodge agreed to meet more than 100 MPs next week after a woman was sexually assaulted in her hotel bed by a man who had been given a key card and her room number by staff bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Sharing this hugely important piece by LWN sister and patron @abenaopp on the true impact of endometriosis and fibroids - and why it's crucial women are taken seriously when seeking support 🙏
Abena Oppong-Asare MP@abenaopp

For decades, women with severe period pain and heavy bleeding have been dismissed by doctors. But for millions, it’s conditions like endometriosis or fibroids going undiagnosed. We must start taking women’s pain seriously. My piece in @DailyMirror 👇🏾 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
