Labour Women Demand 50/50 Gender Split in Burnham’s Potential Government
TL;DR
Labour’s Women’s Parliamentary Labour Party draft letter urges Andy Burnham to commit to a 50:50 gender balance in a future government, backed by a 13-point plan calling for a female deputy prime minister, a separate first minister of state for women, zero tolerance for bullying and misogyny, better security for female MPs, and action to curb online abuse; Burnham has reassured the group that he will address misogyny in his team and prioritize inclusive staffing.
