Women's political party holds its first Wales meeting

Sandi Toksvig left BBC Radio 4's News Quiz to set up the Women's Equality Party

A political party campaigning for women's rights has held its first Wales branch meeting.

The Women's Equality Party, set up by comedian Sandi Toksvig in April, said it has received interest from more than 30,000 people across the UK.

Following the meeting on Sunday, Helen Walbey, chair of the Cardiff and Valleys branch, said it is not a "single-issue party".

She added the group would work in collaboration with other politicians.

The party's policy launch is due in September.

Ms Walbey said: "We want to have equality for women in society because we can see from all of the research that's out there that when women have equality, everybody in society does better."
