Live webchat with Stella Creasy MP Wednesday 13 Feb 11.30-12.30

Stella, thanks for promoting One Billion Rising. Will you be able to raise this momentous campaign in the Hose of Commons, and do you know how far the media are going to publicise the events on 14 February?

Definitely supporting this campaign. If everyone puts it on Facebook, twitter etc. there will be 1billion rising!

Following the very sad case of Frances Andrade what ideas has the Labour Party got to try to lessen the trauma of rape victims giving evidence in court? Could they give their evidence via a video link and still be cross examined for instance?

Hi Stella - I wondered how you got involved in this important campaign?

The Woman's Hour Power List this week has been criticised for being rather predictable and class-based - for not including, for example, the women who came forward over Jimmy Savile. Do you think these lists do women any favours?

Have we actually got to dance tomorrow? I am fully in support of this cause but dancing is not my thing. How else can I make my feelings known?

Hi Stella. You're quite active on Twitter - do you ever get worried about being targeted by internet trolls like what happened to Louise Mensch, Mary Beard etc?

Following on from crosspatch's comment, it seems to me that One Billion Rising is a fantastic movement but one without a very clear call to action. Do you think there's a need for something concrete that ordinary people can do?

Hi Stella, very pleased to see you on Gransnet. You're on twitter a lot. I wanted to ask whether twitter is now necessary for politicians - and do you do all your own tweets?

Hi Stella,

Where has your campaign against legal loan sharks got to? I saw Wonga advertising last night during the football on television. Is parliament going to be able to do anything to control the activities of these companies?

You once described parliament as Hogwarts gone wrong. What would you change to bring it into the 21st century?

You famously wrote the sleeve notes for an album by Seamasters (The Seamasters?) Can you tell us why we should listen to them? And what band should we be listening to now? <tries to be cool>

Hi Stella,

Big admirer of your work on payday loans and interested to hear more about One Billion Rising today. It seems remiss that nobody has asked about your favourite biscuit so here goes:

What's your favourite biscuit?

I see that one of the aims of One Billion Rising is to get sex and relationship education included on the school curriculum. But isn't this already covered by PHSE?

Politics increasingly shades over into celebrity. To some extent you have to play the game to get your points across - but does it trouble you?

Good Morning Stella

I live in the North East of England and would like to ask you what you think about Newcastle United being sponsored to the tune of around £8 million per year by Wonga ? Effectively loan sharks paying the hugely inflated wages of the footballers.

Thanks.

Is anybody there? ..............

I was wondering the same thing when ????

Have you suffered any misogyny yourself?

Yes, baited breath...!
