Mersey MP calls for 'more to be done' in Westminster for LGBTQ+ equality

A Wirral MP who feared her parliamentary career would be "over" after coming out has called for "more work to be done" to promote LGBTQ+ equality.

Times have changed since Wallasey MP, Angela Eagle, came out in 1997 but despite the progression and debatable steps of LGBTQ+ progression, the Labour MP recognises we still have a long way to go for equality.

She told the ECHO : “The good thing is we do have what's known as the gayest Parliament in the world at the moment in Westminster. And there are LGBT Tories who are very good at trying to tell the government how they ought to be.”
