Yes, huge thanks to @PennyMordaunt And to @BorisJohnson for supporting fairness and equality. Male primogeniture is obviously outdated in today’s world. Well done @DaughtersRights
Thank you @PhilipDaviesUK, a momentous result this morning for Daughters' Rights with the passing of your ten minute rule bill and we look forward to the second reading on the 22nd - in the meantime we'll be celebrating with one of these....
Building good support across all parties ahead of next week's Ten Minute Rule Bill to abolish male primogeniture for hereditary titles. This is a real opportunity for @UKParliament to take the initiative and end this outdated practice #ElectLordsWomen
Disappointing Penny Mordaunt has yet to confirm her support for our campaign given her comments on inequality being baked into the honours system @PennyMordaunt@LauraRound#ElectLordsWomen read our letter here: https://t.co/kZC36RZgbm
Interesting @cjmcgoogan about women becoming involved in the House of Lords - should the women excluded from the 92 hereditary seats be permitted to get involved? We invite Baroness Gardner & Baroness Bertin to join https://t.co/uKqVaMzRiM and right this wrong #ElectLordswomen
