- Well that’s one glass ceiling smashed! Congratulations to LWN graduate @AnnelieseDodds MP on becoming the first woman to ever be Shadow Chancellor or Chancellor. Just what @UKLabour economic policy needs. Good luck, sister! #ceilingsmashers #timetolead #sisterlyresilience

- Abuse, trolling and harassment have absolutely no place in politics - online or offiline. Women are too often at the receiving end, and sexism and misogyny too often feature. Sisterly love and solidarity to @RosieDuffield1.
