Saddened but not surprised to learn 1 of our most articulate voices against abuse of women in public life has been targeted. MPs feel unsafe because they currently are. Our love &solidarity to @jessphillips & her staff & family. Please, let’s #diffuseabuse

We are outraged that @TulipSiddiq must choose between having a baby tomorrow as planned & having her Brexit vote counted in @HouseofCommons . @andrealeadsom must act urgently to arrange a proxy vote. MP having to rearrange caesarean due to @UKParliament ’s inflexiblity is a new low

The @DailyMailUK piece about @AngelaRayner is the sort of sordid sexism no woman in public life should have to tolerate in 2022. Gutter journalism that will not succeed in belittling strong women MPs but might succeed in deterring young girls from pursuing vocations in politics.

The amazing @RosieDuffield1 bringing the house down. Everything women Labour MPs say is interpreted through a prism of Blairism or Corbynism- guess what, they have their own voices and views &are not defined by *any* of our male leaders. Our sisterhood knows no factions #preach

Solidarity @charlotte2153 . Blaming women for “failing”’to report assault when the evidence shows near zero chance of conviction fundamentally misses the point. Fix the system, not the women

MP feels ‘vindicated’ in not reporting sexual assault to police

Labour’s Charlotte Nichols says she has heard ‘harrowing testimony’ from constituents who sought justice

Grim scenes in response to women raising their voices tonight. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Jeremy signed a pledge for 50:50 representation in the shadow cabinet. 40% women not good enough.

There is considerable intimidation of women councillors, MPs & candidates at the moment. Accountability is crucial; threatening behaviours are not. Deterring diverse women from public life improves nothing. Civility is more not less imperative when tensions are high #diffuseabuse

Sexual harassment is endemic in the Labour Party & the current processes are failing women. We need an independent complaints system, from first contact to final outcome, now. Sisters & allies, sign our petition & put our motion to #LabWomen21 to your CLP:
