Lib Dems in the top 100 Women in Westminster

From the Archbishop of Canterbury to journalists and broadcasters to civil servants and political advisers to MPs and Peers, Politics Home announced its 100 Women in Westminster for 2026 which you can find here. Three Liberal Democrats made it in: Wendy Chamberlain, Daisy Cooper and Caroline Pidgeon.

Here’s what was said about them and you can see the entire 100 here.

Wendy Chamberlain

“Wendy is a considerate and hardworking constituency MP who combines genuine care for the people she represents with tireless dedication at Westminster,” one nominator told us. “Her thoughtful leadership as Chief Whip, her commitment to modernising Parliamentary culture and her unsung work for the History of Parliament Trust showcase her integrity and determination, making her an inspiring example as a role model for others.’

Daisy Cooper

“Daisy Cooper has been direct and authentic in communications, principles and conviction, not just standing for Liberal Democrat values but as an influential humanitarian,” one nominator wrote. “In these uncertain times, her Liberal Democratic voice is much needed and highly valued.”

“A born communicator,” another nominator said of Cooper. “Daisy is energetic, sassy and approachable – a person who has not forgotten where she has come from.”

Caroline Pidgeon

“Whether focused on policing oversight,  violence against women and girls, or housing, Pidgeon has consistently focused on outcomes rather than ideology.”

“Pidgwon provides an important bridge between local experience and national scrutiny. She brings to the Upper Chamber not just subject expertise, but a track record of evidence based challenge that strengthens parliamentary oversight at a time when public trust remains fragile.”
