By giving the police the discretion to use anti-protest powers some of the time, the government takes away our freedom all of the time.
My speech on why @UKLabour voted against the @Conservatives' #CrimeBill which does more to protect statues than women.
If only @metpoliceuk had put this amount of effort into arresting one of their own for indecent exposure four days before he went on to allegedly kidnap and kill a woman who was just walking home. #SarahEverard
There needs to be an urgent explanation from the police over their disproportionate acts of violence against women at the Brighton vigil last night. The videos I’ve seen have been absolutely disgusting. @sussex_police swarmed in and actively chose violence last night.
Scenes from Clapham Common.
This could have been the socially distanced vigil the community needed to remember Sarah and all the women who have lost their lives to violence.
We knew what was going to happen if the event was shut down #ReclaimTheseStreets
If you’re tempted to write #notallmen, let’s hear all the wonderful work you do. The campaigns you started, the talks you do in schools, the weekly meet ups to discuss male violence. Because right now it sounds like you want a prize for never raping someone in a park
What happened to Sarah Everard has hit home hard for so many women because we make the calculations she did every day too. We take the longer, better-lit route, push the fear aside for the voice that says ‘don't be daft, you've every right to walk home alone at night and be safe’
hi :) this is a great video by @aidsmap explaining what U=U means- today a person living with HIV on effective treatment cannot sexually transmit HIV on to others. AND the vid is narrated by @NathanielJHall (aka hunky Donald Bassett!) 💕 #UequalsU

Andy Burnham absolutely letting rip at the government for withholding the support Manchester needs... looking like the Clark Kent of Stockport. 😍
