10 Downing Street Inspiring Women Reception

A celebration of Inspirational Women has been held at Number 10 Downing Street. 

Jamila Robertson was joined by other female candidates from across the country who are standing in the general election. The event was hosted by Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Laura Trott. Conservative Party Deputy Chair Rachel Maclean – whose role is to encourage more women to stand for public office – was also amongst the guests. 

Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Rt Hon Laura Trott MBE said: “It was wonderful to meet so many brilliant and inspiring women from across the country at Downing Street.”

“We have incredible women standing for parliament across the UK. That in itself is inspiration to others who might be thinking of a future in politics. These women are all very different, with different skills, stories and experiences but uniting them all is a desire to stand up for their communities and Conservative values. It was a fantastic event and wonderful to meet so many inspirational women who they brought with them as their guests,” commented Rachel McClean.
