UK Parliament Week 2017

Our Parliament is known as the 'Mother of all Parliaments,' and with its origins dating back to 1016, it is certainly one of the most historic parts of London. 

I've been fortunate to work in Parliament and have experienced the hallowed halls and glorious architecture in all their splendour. You are conscious that you are walking in the footsteps of history whilst playing a part in shaping the future. You'll spot a familiar face (or two) whilst getting a coffee, and form your opinions whilst listening to debates in the chamber. You'll understand how hard parliamentary staffers work and the roles of the thousands of staff who help to keep the parliamentary estate ticking over. You'll realise the tremendous job the police and security staff do in keeping us safe- and their role in ensuring democracy is accessible for us all. And importantly, you'll realise how lucky we are to have a Parliament that is steeped in history and is open for us to experience. 

Working to improve the digital literacy and imagination of MPs last year was a fantastic experience, and one which demonstrated positive change in a short space of time. For me, the project has given birth to other amazing opportunities, and I am now fortunate to be continuing that work with politicians both in Westminster and in Wales. 

UK Parliament Week is a great initiative to raise awareness of the work of Parliament and our elected representatives. Learning about the democratic system and voting were some of my favourite PSE lessons in school, and I only wish I had had the opportunity to learn more and even visit Parliament as part of a school trip. These experiences are now available for students across the UK and if you're in high school and reading this - hassle your teacher to take your class to Westminster! 

Whilst much has been made (and continues to be made) of the reputation of Parliament in the press, it is my firm belief that we be much less richer without our great democracy and the Palace that sits on the River Thames.

CBI and Westminster: Theresa May's Week

It's been mini recess week in Westminster, so no PMQs - and certainly not a quiet week!

On Monday, Theresa May addressed delegates at the CBI conference in London. It was back to a familiar navy Escada suit for the Prime Minister, and our favourite leopard print kitty heels from Charlotte Olympia.

On Tuesday, the PM's appearance at the Pride of Britain Awards was televised- and we had a closer look at her great jumpsuit and sparkly heels!

And on Wednesday, her waxwork was unveiled at Madam Tussards. The creators opted for the tomato red Amanda Wakeley skirt suit, Hermes scarf and an oversized pearl necklace. The shoes are not so realistic! 

The Anya Hindmarch Vere Satchel

The Vere Satchel from Anya Hindmarch is the stuff of dream bags. I first saw the Vere Satchel this time last year. The eye-catching shape and rich red interior made this bag stand out from the crowd, as well as the luxurious satin leather which is super soft.

Made in one of the world's leading Italy leather factories, this beautifully constructed bag comes with a detachable, adjustable cross-body strap, contrasting leather lining and plenty of labelled pockets to ensure there's always a place for everything.

It's little wonder that Theresa May chose the Vere Satchel as her AW bag. It's ideal workwear territory, but looks equally as chic when paired with a dress down outfit of jeans and a blazer. It's perfect for the Prime Minister- and fashion fan alike!

Now the bag isn't cheap, but it's a great investment that will see you from season to season over many years.
