  Corbyn's Cowardly Brexit Betrayal
  Article: Mar 14, 2019

  I am fuming.

  After Parliament has made clear that they are incapable of agreeing on Brexit, the Labour leadership whipped their MPs to abstain on giving the people the final say.

  Every Labour MP who did not vote for a People's Vote tonight have betrayed their members, betrayed their voters and betrayed remainers.

  March with us in London on Saturday 23rd March!
  Article: Mar 13, 2019
  By Charlotte Power

  The last few days have seen more historic votes taking place in Parliament. Yesterday, MPs voted overwhelmingly against Theresa May's Brexit deal for a second time. Tonight, MPs rejected leaving the EU without a deal. With events from the last few days, an extension of Article 50 now seems inevitable. An extension to Article 50 could allow time for a people's vote to take place.

  The Leader - vol 5

  Brexit latest

  This has been a big week for Brexit. But, then, every week is big.

  With 14 days to go before Brexit Day, the Prime Minister's Withdrawal Agreement was massively defeated for a second time on this occasion by 149 votes rather than 230. I don't think even the Prime Minister saw that as progress.

  The deal flops - again
  Article: Mar 12, 2019

  Is anyone getting deja vu?

  It's like January all over again. Theresa May's been beaten again, her botched Brexit deal failing by 391 votes to 242. Parliament's verdict on the PM's deal is abundantly clear, and has been for months - the deal is a flop.

  We can't let Theresa May kick the can down the road again. Parliament must not be bullied into voting for a deal that leaves people worse off.

  The trailblazers, disruptors and advocates
  Article: Mar 8, 2019

  On Friday, we will proudly celebrate International Women's Day. A day to honour the trailblazers, disruptors and advocates boldly challenging misogyny and oppression in all its forms.

  Over the last few years, there has been a palpable cultural shift in our approach to gender inequality. As a society, we are making significant strides in the battle against gender oppression.

  What you wear doesn't affect how you learn.
  Article: Mar 8, 2019

  This week, I presented my Bill to Parliament to require all school uniforms to be gender neutral.

  From the day a child starts primary school, boys are put in shorts and trousers, and girls in skirts and dresses.

  Gendered uniform policies send a message that boys, in their more practical clothes, should be running around and playing sport, and girls should not.

  Let's reduce the stigma around postnatal depression
  Article: Mar 8, 2019

  Yesterday in Parliament, I put forward a bill to improve mental health care for new mothers.

  NHS health check-ups 6 weeks after birth are already routine. But it's about time they included mental health. Currently, almost half of new mothers who experience mental health problems don't receive any help or treatment. Many don't even have their issues identified by a professional. It's extremely worrying.

  Balance for Better

  Today is International Women's Day. Are you doing anything special today? I know some people are attending panel discussions, presentations or exhibitions.

  But May's local elections are looming. Here's something the women reading this can do that you might not have thought of that could make a difference.

  Vince Cable on International Women's Day
  Article: Mar 8, 2019
  By Vince Cable

  For over 100 years International Women's Day has offered us the opportunity to celebrate the contributions made by women many countries.

  Over the last two years the #MeToo and Time's Up movements have driven a welcome shift in society's approach to gender equality.

  There is much more to do to address inequality
