Lord Chris Smith, the UK’s first out gay MP, has urged Boris Johnson to improve LGBTQ+ representation in the cabinet.

Smith was the first MP to come out as gay in 1984, and there are now 55 out LGBTQ+ parliament members, which is the most there has ever been.

However, none of them serve in Johnson’s cabinet, with Smith telling the BBC that the prime minister has an LGBTQ+ “blind spot”.
