The tweet, sharing without comment. For now at least!

Ruth Hunt's record in the HoL.

https://members.parliament.uk/member/4725/

No written questions, and just 5 spoken contributions. What IS she doing with her time there?

Does she ever actually turn up?

I don't understand how you can be in the HoL but contribute so little

TBH the less input she has into politics the better.

Yes but what's she doing behind the scenes? She does appear to be voting.

Oh yes - 10 days attendance allowance claimed in January 2023 for instance. £3320 pocketed.

True. I guess some act as 'sleepers' and are there to vote on key issues, etc.

#no debate?

Influencing - spending her time on committees and working groups, talking to people in the tea rooms, on the terrace & the dining room. According to her register of interests, handing out free copies of Shon Faye’s book. That’s how the real politics happen, all behind the scenes - it’s how stonewall got to be so influential in the first place

Do we know she is doing this?

I remember quite an important Lords debate a year or so back where the Lords reinserted some sex-based language and there did not seem to be any RH contribution, even though others were willing to articulate the Stonewall line.

I don't see anything in the media or whatever. Surely she should be the perfect person should TV interviewers want to have a balance of contributers. Presumably brighter than the favourites such as India Willoughby etc.

Seems she’s focusing a lot on this

Update:

Saw on LinkedIn that Nancy is now Director of Lesbian Visibility Week at DIVA Magazine

Didnt Diva have a (filtered) Emily Bridges on the front cover once?
