Absolutely right Nickie Aiken. Appalling sexism from The Standard. Is it any wonder why so many women are put off going into politics, and we are all the poorer for it. Disappointing from Dylan Jones.

Many thanks to Greg Hands for his response to our previous consultations, all of his responses are now available on our website. Thanks again to our fantastic members for their hard work! Read here: conservativepolicyforum.com/post/party-cha… . . . John Penrose Fleur Penny-Anne O'Donnell

These ladies are great. Thank you to the Conservative Women for your fantastic support. You’ve made such a difference to me. I’m proud to say the CWO were instrumental in getting me involved in politics; from Councillor to GLA candidate- it wouldn’t have been possible without the CWO

🔵 Out of 58 Conservative selections in seats which were held by the party in 2019 - or would have been on new boundaries - Campbell is only the 13th woman to be selected. The other 45 went to male candidates. So just 22.4% of selections in Tory seats have so far gone to women.

Just published: front page of the Financial Times, UK edition, Saturday 24 February on.ft.com/3UQs9wE

“Only 25 per cent of Tory MPs are currently women and the new analysis indicates the ruling party is unlikely to significantly improve upon this stark gender disparity at this year’s general election.” ft.com/content/de2886…

I find it quite hilarious that I come home to a leaflet for Chris McEwan . It’s not because I am a conservative but it’s because I live County Durham. I am not on Teesside or in Darlington. And sure Kim McGuinness will love him nestling in on her patch.

Thanks to Richard Holden MP for his contribution and responding to our consultation on the #welfarestate. Great to see our members ideas are being heard! Read the response here: conservativepolicyforum.com/post/formal-re… . . . John Penrose Penny-Anne O'Donnell Fleur Ahmereen Reza OBE

Good to talk to James Cleverly🇬🇧 about the need for a female review in the Party and hear his views. I look forward to talking to all the potential leaders.

The removal of Mrs Thatchers portrait, the first ever female prime minister, is a real insult to women. Mrs T is a real modern role model for women entering politics. Or do the left think some women don’t deserve to be politicians, because they aren’t the right type?
