MP Jess Phillips - expected to announce her bid for the Labour leadership later today - says the last 10 years have seen women change the face of politics, with much more to come.A picture at the recent NATO summit in London showed the Queen surrounded by leaders of powerful international allies. Of the 31 world leaders, six were women. Men in dark suits took up the rest of the space, and women around the world once again collectively rolled their eyes; we all thought it would be better by 2019.
On the day I was elected in 2015, Parliament saw the oldest ever woman elected to the house , the youngest and the longest ever serving woman re-elected . In Scotland, for a brief, delicious moment, the three major political parties were all led by women, each with big- hitting styles . This has been the decade women led the political resistance and changed the face of politics. They’ve made it more personal.
