Why more women are needed behind the scenes at Number 10.

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Boris Johnson’s government has been criticised for its lack of women at the top table and for being run by a “toxic boys club” behind the scenes. The departure of Dominic Cummings and Lee Cain from Downing Street has led to calls for a female led reset at Number 10. Jessica Creighton talks to Katie Perrior who was Chief of Staff for Theresa May and to Anji Hunter who was Tony Blair’s “gatekeeper” and longest serving aide.
