Bardell was one of three leading female politicians to appear in the first episode of Women of the House, alongside Kemi Badenoch (Conservative, Saffron Walden) and Jess Phillips (Labour, Birmingham Yardley).

Hosted by Sky News presenter Isabel Webster, the political TV series is a media first. It’s a space for female MPs from different parties to come together and talk openly about what it’s like to be a woman in politics today, and the issues that matter most to them – without any of the tiresome point-scoring found in standard political panel shows.

Political advisor Katie Perrior, who served as one of the show’s co-creators, said she was partially inspired by the late Labour MP Jo Cox’s famous words: “We have more in common than that which divides us.”

“After working for over 20 years in the male dominated world of Westminster politics, including No.10 Downing St, I felt that not only did we not hear enough from our female representatives, but they were often drowned out by others,” Perrior said.

“Our female MPs are not there to make up the numbers; instead they show they have strong views on a range of issues from Brexit to taxes and foreign policy to social justice.

“I’m thrilled to create something that is not only thought provoking but also entertaining and warm.

“It’s time for more women to step up and be heard.”
