The vitriolic abuse directed at Jess Phillips over the past few days is unwarranted and unacceptable. It is an example of the culture of abuse and intimidation that has become commonplace in our political discourse, disproportionately impacting women and people of colour. 🧵1/4

107 years ago today some women first gained the right to vote. From 1918 to today, women have fought for their place in politics - gaining the right to vote, being elected as MPs, serving as ministers, and leading the country as Prime Minister. 1/3

107 years ago the first women gained the right to vote. Since 1918 at every general election the number of men elected has outnumbered the number of women. Whilst progress has been made & we now have 263 women MPs we still need 62 more for a #GenderEqualParliament #AskHerToStand
