Parliament may be shutting down but our campaigners aren’t, Kent Labour Women are gearing up for the GE of a lifetime, women of Kent, tweet us your campaigns, your candidates, your protests, your petitions and we’ll share the great work that’s happening across our county.
@RosieDuffield1 My boys ages 7 and 10 smell like angels and have learned about consent and respecting women and themselves since they were babies. I suspect that the commons and this government smells of privilege, entitlement, misogyny and rape culture which is a different smell from boy.
"When they ask you out, they don't present their rage... they don't threaten, criticise, control, yell"
MPs applaud and comfort Labour's Rosie Duffield, as she shares her own experience of being in an abusive relationship

Conference day two, morning sessions included early years and education, #NHS and #SocialCare with passionate speeches from @AngelaRayner & @JonAshworth - Encouraging to hear #SureStart funding & valuing #UnpaidCarers mentioned in their speeches #Lab19 @rachaelannems @CllrEdie
Unions will support the fight against climate change to help protect the planet.
And we'll make sure that workers' voices are at the heart of the transition.
Solidarity with those taking action today, and well done to the young people leading the way.
#ClimateStrike
Strike day. @LizardBailey has been a poster making machine. The kids are excited to make their voices heard. We can’t do our jobs if the government won’t do theirs. See you on the streets #YouthStrike4Climate
CW: Rape, sexual assault, violence against women.
Endless solidarity to @Emily4Aberconwy. So many women in politics are threatened with and face violence, just for existing. Too many examples of incredible activists like Emily being put in danger (1/3) https://t.co/qbUgRJ8tEy
Whenever the General Election comes, we're delighted that our amazing local MPs @jeremycorbyn & @EmilyThornberry have been unanimously reselected as @UKLabour's Islington candidates. We'll be giving them all our support to ensure they can continue to make a difference #ForTheMany
I’m also presenting a policy we developed to reimburse members for the cost incurred for adult or child care to attend meetings where the cost is a barrier to participation. Care responsibilities disproportionately affect women so I hope this gesture will help @Labour4C
Really proud to be bringing this motion on sexual harassment forward to Canterbury @Labour4C’s AMM tonight - it’s also going forward to a bunch of other Kent CLP’s, if you want a copy DM me. #believewomen#MeToo#labourtoo
Just heard head of KCC’s Paul Carter on @BBCr4today saying all will be fine for Kent in the event of no deal. Our own @Charlotte4Dover knows that is absolute nonsense - no deal will hit Dover and Kent hard
