I think it might be Marion Fellows, who's a SNP MP

I missed that but I've just seen a woman (sitting near a male Labour MP asking a question) wearing a patterned dress in green, white and pale purple.

@123ZYX
Thank you. So good to see and quite a statement imo.

@Abitofalark
Ooh I wonder if someone will 'have a word' ...

xalo, I hope we can find out who it was and give her a shout.

xalo · 16/11/2022 14:10

@Abitofalark yes hopefully someone will come on and enlighten us!

I don’t know who it is wearing it but that looks like the lovely suffragette tartan scarf from the Ministry of Tartan. I bought one as a gift for a relative a few years ago, wanted to keep it

I've just found a recording here:

The SNP MP with her scarf and purple jacket comes into view at about 19 50 and there's good close-up sight of the splendid scarf until about 22.30. Around the end of the broadcast, from a distant view it looks as if she is wearing a purple trouser suit. Good for her.

The Labour MP in the patterned dress comes into sight in a good clear shot at 42 30 and I think it might be Valerie Vaz.

It's Joanna Cherry!

ChubbyNinja · 16/11/2022 16:13

Yes it's Joanna. Hooray!

lifeturnsonadime · 16/11/2022 16:15

Good on Joanna Cherry.

If you freeze the frame at 19.52 there are a LOT of MPs in purple in the house today.

Hopefully that's not a coincidence!

xalo · 16/11/2022 16:16

How amazing if it's a deliberate protest!

OP posts:
ChubbyNinja · 16/11/2022 16:18

I suspect there are a lot of MPs from all parties who would be only too happy to make anti Nicola's SNP gestures.

Extra point for Joanna, though!

xalo · 16/11/2022 16:19

Yes it's

Joanna we love you!

TrainedByCats · 16/11/2022 16:50

Just came back to say I’d watched more pmq and it’s the unmistakable and lovely Joanna Cherry 😍

Interesting so many female politicians decided today was purple day. I think I need to revamp my wardrobe but running out of shops to spend my money in

ScribblingPixie · 16/11/2022 16:57

Joanna Cherry brought tears to my eyes there.

Princessglittery · 16/11/2022 19:14

A lot of purple on show, good on them. Just knew Joanna Cherry would wear a scarf.
