Given the vile comments from Suella Braverman last night it was extremely welcome to hear the new Prime Minister’s comments on celebrating the diversity of Westminster and it once again becoming the ‘gayest’ parliament in the world. He proudly welcomes LGBT representation. 🏳️‍🌈

[Alex Farrow @alexjamesfarrow]

So far, we've got 66 #LGBT+ MPs in new the Parliament, including one co-leader of a party.

That's just over 10% of parliament, which is more than the general population. So strong representation!
