Delighted to push for an equal Parliament with 50/50 Parliament.

If we want to ensure our Parliament really serves everyone, we need equal representation.

That is why it is vital that parties #AskHerToStand and support more women into politics.

At the 2024 General Election, 263 women were elected, and 387 men.

Equality would be a @5050parliament.bsky.social.

It took some support and encouragement for me to stand for election, so when I meet an impressive woman I often #AskHerToStand

This International Women's Day we’re celebrating those who are standing for election in May (not all pictured), as well as Helen Morgan MP.

Decision making is better when there are more women in the room.

Lovely to join a packed room full of women from 50:50 Parliament and their supporters.

At 40% of MPs being women, we have seen progress but we have a way to go to reach equality in both numbers and rights. Find out more 5050parliament.co.uk #askhertostand

Today is #AskHerToStand Day I’m proud to back @5050parliament.bsky.social

Think of 1–3 women who’d make great leaders — and ask them to consider standing.

It's 50:50 Parliament's #AskHerToStand day which is the 106th anniversary of the Qualification of Women Act.

#AskHerToStand is about amplifying the need for more women from all backgrounds to be involved at all levels of politics: local councillors to Police and Crime Commissioners, Mayors to MPs.

Today marks the anniversary of women being allowed to stand for Parliament.

This #AskHertoStand day, I encourage any woman considering running for office to go for it - we’ve come a long way but there is lots more to do to ensure women from all backgrounds are represented in politics.

There are 650 MPs, and I’m only the 660th woman ever elected.
Ask Her to Stand Day marks the 1918 law that first allowed women to stand for Parliament.
We’ve come far, but there’s more to do.

Thank you Pete!
The enthusiasm of @greens4hs2.bsky.social folks very much encouraged me to put myself forward.

Today is #AskHerToStand day. Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of speaking at an event by @5050parliament.bsky.social. This fantastic organisation helped me in my journey, so it was a real joy to join them in asking more women to stand for public office.

We need roughly 60 more women in Parliament to achieve gender parity with the general population - could one of them be you or a friend of yours? If so, #askhertostand

Ask Her To Stand 50:50 Parliament
If you know a woman who would make a great elected representative please ask her to stand. Tell her about 50:50 Parliament and our friendly network of support which helps women progress in politics.

It’s #AskHerToStand Day

51% of the U.K. population are women

40.5% of MPs are women (up by 5% from before the election)

#Equality in Parliament is long overdue
November 21, 2024 at 3:27 PM
Since 1918 at every general election more men have been elected than women. @CentenaryAction's graph shows that whilst progress has been made & we now have 263 women MPs we still need 62 more for a #GenderEqualParliament #AskHerToStand

Today it is #askhertostand day and Lizzi Collinge puts it perfectly!

If you care you are qualified!

Go ask her to stand… 😀💥💪

Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, speaks in favour of 50:50 representation of women in Parliament at an event hosted in the Speaker's Rooms under Big Ben for #InternationalWomensDay #AskHertoStand #50:50Parliament

Since 1918, over 5,000 MPs have been elected but only 693 have been women. It’s time to redress the balance. Ask Her To Stand is a positive campaign that aims to inspire women, from all backgrounds, to get more politically involved.

I haven't met Fer'ha but was really impressed by her candidate statement.

She's Policy Officer for Muslim Greens; EDI rep for London Green Parties and is an NHS dentist (our health policies need work!) and more.

She's also the only woman to put herself forward. We need to do more #AskHerToStand

@libdemwomen.bsky.social have some great tips on asking women to stand for election
#AskhertoStand

Many women do not naturally put themselves forward for election in the political arena, asking a woman to stand may make all the difference.

This Parliament is more reflective of the country than any other with so many fantastic colleagues making a difference.

P.S Ask her to stand, ask her again, tell others to do the same and then support her to run so she can change the system that keeps making it so bloody hard for women to run. @electheruk.bsky.social #AskHerToStand #SupportHerToRun #SayYepForShep
