A great evening at the @histparl.bsky.social live podcast recording for ‘Tales from the Green Benches’ last night!
Really interesting to learn more about their oral history project and hear from two of the projects’s more recent interviewees, Anne Milton and Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston

A brilliant evening at the Speaker’s House #WomensHistoryMonth event last week!
