Ding dong...

She's gone!

Pink News are a little aggrieved that Lynne Featherstone has moved on in the Cabinet reshuffle.

Her post is now assumed by Theresa May. It seems that David Cameron still has his Conservative heart set on marriage between two men and two women though.

I was delighted to be joined at the reception by Jo Swinson MP - who I'm pleased to announce is our new Equalities Minister, in addition to her role as Minister for Employment Relations and Consumer Affairs.
