When I got back from my count, you were sat there, just like now. Same time of the morning too. Our one moment together before everyone wanted a piece of you. Watching the last of the results trickle in, I remember thinking there wasn’t anything we couldn’t do together.’ Falling for one another in the ‘90s, Lucy and Emma forged an unshakable relationship, founded on a shared passion for social justice and an unswerving commitment to the Labour cause. Riding on a wave of national optimism both were elected to Parliament – bright young things for whom the sky was the limit. Fast forward to the present day: Emma has established the new Progress Party, whilst her estranged wife Lucy’s brief and controversial stint as Labour Leader has ended her political career.
