Blair Babe
1997 slang term for female Labour MPs / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blair Babes or Blair's Babes was a term sometimes used to refer to the 101 female Members of Parliament (MPs) from the Labour Party elected to the House of Commons in Labour's landslide 1997 general election victory, after images of the new prime minister, Tony Blair, with 96[1] of them on the steps of Church House in Westminster were widely publicised.[2] The photographs have been called "infamous".[3] The phrase is attributed to the Daily Mail.[4] The term was criticised as trivialising women in politics, and the group of women MPs to which it referred have been studied as a group.
