Jess Phillips’ Everywoman: One Woman’s Truth About Speaking the Truth is an essential read.

From working directly with refugees and victims of domestic abuse, to representing her constituency as MP for Birmingham Yarley – the politician has plenty of essential truths to tell, especially in the UK’s current political climate.

And let’s not forget some of her most memorable moments in Parliament.

In 2016, Phillips stood up in the House of Commons to read out the list of 120 women who had been died as a consequence of domestic abuse over the previous 12 months. And, earlier this year, the MP defended her constituents who were accused of being “unskilled” because they earned under £30k a year. “I have met lots of people who earn way more than £30,000 and have literally no discernible skills, not even one,” she said in the powerful speech.

She also joined Stylist as part of our Women of the House video series, which is why news of her autobiography being made into a TV drama series is a cause for celebration.
