Leader of the Women's Equality Party @WEP_UK. 1st person of colour to lead a UK political party. Usually reading something. Plenty of fire in my belly.

Big problems need bold collaboration and vision. @sianberry MP and I have released ‘All Our Children’ a new report calling for universal free early years provision. Childcare is essential infrastructure. It’s time we treated it that way. #amp-readmore-target" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mirror.co.uk/news/politics/… 1/2

This really tickled me. I’ve been chuckling to myself about @bphillipsonMP for about an hour. These people are so ridiculous & continue to choose ritual humiliation rather than betray any sense of political maturity or humanity. Hold the line! 😂😂😂

Rattled, much? A speech about unity, community and cohesion. About the 99% Vs the 1%. I'm not surprised the Labour Party didn't quite get that.... Join.greenparty.org.uk

🚨Let's treat childcare like infrastructure. In a new report written with the brilliant @ManduReid , I am calling for Universal Free Childcare to be moved forward as serious policy. This is a big vision and I hope others will come to share it. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

And here’s a link to the full report. sianberry.org.uk/wp-content/upl… We’re so grateful to the parents and early years workers who shared their stories anonymously for the report and to researcher Verena Schneider, whose care and skill brought those voices to life. 2/2

Having said that, the dynamics within institutions ARE significant, @UKLabour Party should do some soul searching about how and why, in the 124 years since it was founded, it has only ever had a white man at the helm, as elected leader. 3/3

As, Princeton Professor, @ruha9 said: “Black faces in high places are not going to save us … that is, our blackness and our womanness are not in themselves trustworthy if we allow ourselves to be conscripted into positions of power that maintain the oppressive status quo.” 2/3

Kemi Badenoch being elected as the 4th woman and 1st black person to lead the UK Conservative Party is historic. BUT let’s not get this twisted. Although representation matters, it alone is not enough. 1/3

Imagine if the media gave parties like ours even half of the attention they routinely give to Farage et al. No question, we all have to keep fighting… and we will. With Reform’s surge the stakes are higher than ever. Optimism is a political choice. #TheStruggleContinues 2/2

So much to say about this election, but I’ll start by saying I’m so glad we got behind @TheGreenParty! Their phenomenal success proves that there is appetite for the truly transformative ideas that make up our joint policy platform. 1/2 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Delighted to contribute to 2023’s final instalment of @paperdispatch’s excellent Substack: The Backlash It examines the feminism, the quest for gender equality, and the backlash to both. Go for it, check out the latest article and subscribe today!
Alona Ferber@paperdispatch

When I started my newsletter, I wanted to make a space for looking at gender inequality and feminism in detail, for thinking out loud about them. To wrap up 2023, I invited some of the thinkers, writers, and activists I most admire to answer 4 questions on where we are headed /1
