The @SuffrageFlag is flying over Portcullis House today - a shame it's not more windy, but fantastic to see it there at the end of its relay! @CGWomensNetwork @XgovCentenary #Vote100
YES IT IS 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 – at London, England
We needed a little more wind to show it off, but I have good reason to believe that's the @SuffrageFlag on the flagpole above Portcullis House, watched over by Millicent Fawcett herself cc @XgovCentenary @ParliGENDER @UKParliament @ellie_binks @KeelaShackell

100 years ago today, women participated in a general election for the first time in British history. With @PennyMordaunt, it was a pleasure to welcome @UKCivilService @SuffrageFlag back home to Parliament, and we’re proud it will fly over Portcullis House today! @XgovCentenary

100 years ago the first UK election was held which allowed some women to vote for the first time. We're marking the day by reflecting on the @UKCivilService #Vote100 celebrations. #OnThisDay @SuffrageFlag
