A politician was praised for her work on gay rights by an LGBT news service.
Hornsey and Wood Green MP Lynne Featherstone has been named ‘Ally of the Year’ by Pink News.
The company awarded the Lib Dem politician the title for her work on the Equal Marriage Bill during her time as minister for equalities.
Ms Featherstone said: “Bringing about this positive social change is one of the greatest achievements of our generation, and I’m so thankful to all the organisations, politicians, civil servants and people who supported the successful campaign for equal marriage law from start to finish.”
