Hello lovely people!!!
You tweeted in your hundreds to make sure Philip Hammond backed the Tampon Tax Fund in his autumn statement, introduced by George Osborne last year. AND YOU DID IT!!! The new Chancellor relaunched the fund today, which will see £3 MILLION going straight to women's charities. That's a lot of money. It will do a lot of good. And it's thanks to you. Amazing!

p.s. I've attached Hammond's full autumn statement below, within which he promised "£3 million from the Tampon Tax Fund [will be] distribute[d] to a range of women’s charities". Period. Okay, maybe he didn't quite use the word 'period', but he almost did. Sort of. Hey, there's always next time...
