LWN training works! What drove an historic 6.7% increase in women MPs at #GE24? 100 new The Labour Party women MPs, 58 of them trained by LabourWomensNetwork.

Really great to join you all this afternoon and meet the dedicated team. It was good to hear directly from residents on a range of key issues. I’m looking forward to working alongside all of you to ensure our pensioners are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.

The Labour women's network has been training, supporting and equipping women to find and amplify their voice for decades. I have benefited from this support and therefore excited to be standing for the LWN's executive committee. #AskHerToStand #lwnelects2024

As the Returning Officer, I'm incredibly proud of the number, calibre & diversity of women standing to lead LWN & the abuse-free way they are conducting themselves. Shame the same can't be said of random angry lads who think we give a flying 🦆 about their hot takes #lwnelects24

So glad the brilliant Evelyn Akoto is running for the LWN exec. She has so much experience, knowledge and passion to bring to the role.

The Grenfell disaster laid bare a sad truth. It showed us that people living in social housing were not listened to, no matter how much they tried to speak up. Change will only come if we tackle the culture that too often treats social housing tenants like an afterthought 👇🏾
