[Women In Newcastle 2019 @Womens100]

@krossings @mch_newcastle @UniofNewcastle A lot of positive energy from out pop up choir for International Women's Day, rehearsal at Newcastle Uni and then singing at the Monument, supporting women seeking sanctuary in the city.

Fantastic celebrations in Newcastle for #IWD2020 @Womens100

#LoSGE19 a bit like international women's day, I expected a nod in women's direction on Equal Pay Day today. Labour and LibDems didnt disappoint with a range of (uncosted) actions to close the gender pay gap, but the blond has been strangely silent or maybe I missed his pledge☹️
