No more all-male top table – Harman

HARRIET HARMAN, one of only two women to have led Labour, has launched a campaign to stop the party being led exclusively by men.

Ms Harman said the election of Jeremy Corbyn and Tom Watson as leader and deputy leader shows “we still have further to go to reach equality in our party.”
