Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson says she's faced sexism in the UK government despite being a top Labour deputy leader contender.
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson says she believes she has faced sexist briefings within the UK government, despite being seen as a top contender for Labour deputy leader.
She cited persistent negative media coverage and internal criticism, including claims she was out of favor over her handling of schools, though Downing Street hasn’t confirmed these reports.
Phillipson, who has long felt underestimated due to her gender, dismissed the irony of being portrayed as a top candidate while enduring personal attacks.
Her remarks align with concerns raised by other senior female ministers about gender bias and exclusion in government.
She highlighted a male-dominated, insular culture in Number 10, calling for greater unity and inclusion within the Labour Party.
