’Mother of the house’ Harriet Harman gives final speech as MP
Harriet Harman gave her final speech as an MP after more than 40 years in the House of Commons on Friday, 24 May.
The “Mother of the House“ was first elected in 1982 and holds the record as the longest-ever continuously serving female Member of Parliament.
Ms Harman used her final speech to pay tribute to her late husband, Jack Dromey, and her children for the support they have provided her.
She also encouraged women to enter politics, reflecting that though at times being an MP has been hard she “wouldn’t regret a single day.“
