Labour has officially backed a campaign to get more mums in to Parliament, in a bid to tackle the toxic culture in the Commons.
The MotheRED project has issued grants of up to £2,000 to help mums with the cost of standing for selection as Labour MPs - with a 14 being named in the second round of funding on Monday.
The candidates, picked by a group of ambassadors from across the Labour Party, including Cherie Blair and Shami Chakrabarti, include social housing barristers, small business owners and disability rights activists.
