Support @5050Parliament - shocking only 29% of MPs are female (with a disclaimer that we need non-binary MPs too!)pic.twitter.com/z8STYp1SDX

@lm_french @5050Parliament Yet every year the percentage gets more and more equitable
I want competent MPs, you just seem to want female 1s
@NotaTypicalTory Women make competent MPs. They have a wide range of relevant experience & skills 50% graduates & 60% law grads @wlm_french
@5050Parliament I can't help but feel that this tweet was trying to suggest I was making out that women couldn't be competent MPs
@NotaTypicalTory both men & women make competent MPs but their life experiences tend to be different & Parliament needs to draw upon both
@5050Parliament And women might naturally of their own free will choose to take different career paths
@NotaTypicalTory It is important that Parliament attracts & draws upon the widest poss range of talented, skilled people incl 32 m UK women
@5050Parliament Again, I think you confuse my position here. I agree that generally half of parliament should be women
@NotaTypicalTory Great that we are in agreement! :)
