Diversity in Brent Labour Group

I have been looking over the results of the election last Thursday, and one result is that Brent Labour Group is now 57% ethnic minority, which probably makes it the first political group in the country to have a non-white majority. It also has 40% women members, which isn't proportional but is certainly better than some places _ like the House of Commons for example.

There is quite a contrast with the other groups. The Tories, who have been reduced to six, have no female members at all. The Liberal Democrats have only four ethnic minority members, and only three women out of a group of seventeen.
