When Ken Clarke called Theresa May ‘a bloody difficult woman’, he set off a wave of discussions about what it really meant to be a successful woman in British politics across the political spectrum today. Inspired by Rachel Johnson’s new podcast on LBC, in this panel we will hear from women who have faced the height of scrutiny in the British Press and really understand what it means to be deemed a ‘difficult woman’ in British public life today.
Gina Miller - Guyanese-British Businesswoman who initiated court proceedings against the government over its authority to implement Brexit without Parliamentary approval and successfully prevented the prorogation of Parliament in 2019
Rachel Johnson - Journalist, Author and Politician who left the Conservative Party for the Liberal Democrats in the run-up to the 2017 General Election and ran as the Change UK candidate in the 2019 European Parliament elections
Julia Langdon - Former Political Editor of the Daily Mirror, the first woman to ever hold the position in a national newspaper and author, currently writing a biography of Gordon Brown
