(Apologies if someone else has already posted - couldn't see a thread!)

Some good speeches about the experiences of female academics who've been targeted for speaking up for women's rights in yesterday's House of Commons debate on the higher education freedom of speech bill.

Labour Women's Declaration have clipped a few of them:

Rosie Duffield

Tonia Antoniazzi

Joanna Cherry

I think Tonia is really shaping up to be a force to be reckoned with and she will need all the support she can get because from what my friends in Wales tell me, the CLP and other Labour MPs in surrounding constituencies are not at all supportive.
