Andrew and Tristan Tate must be extradited to the UK to face justice.
The Government has a duty to get survivors of these disgusting men the justice they deserve.
Government inaction is failing women and girls.
Lord Hermer, the Attorney General, says "I would never apologise for being a human rights lawyer."
But he hounded British soldiers in court when he knew they had almost certainly done no wrong.
He had the chance to apologise.
He refused to take it.
This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby@denbypottery
Rachel Reeves has put taxes *up*, and ended up actually raising *less* money.
How has she managed that?!
It turns out that when you punish people for taking risks, hiring people, or working hard, they're less likely to do those things. Who could have guessed?
The full transcript of the judge's sentencing remarks in the Fordingbridge gang rape case is damning.
The judge found no evidence of violence.
They brought a knife - an implicit threat of violence.
They raped the girls. That is sexual violence.
I’m also deeply concerned by his reflections around consent.
Consenting to sexual activities does not excuse anything, nor give a green light for anything the predator wants.
Consent was withdrawn.

The bodycam footage of the police response to the stabbing of Henry Nowak is extremely difficult to watch.
Hampshire and Isle of Wright Constabulary have serious questions to answer about the conduct and competence of their officers.
It is shocking that their training and culture led to them treating a victim as a suspect, doubting he had been stabbed and handcuffing him rather than giving him lifesaving first aid or checking him for an injury, despite him clearly telling the officers he had been stabbed and him struggling to breathe.
Simply because they were told he’d been racist.
Their priority, above all else, should have been to save his life.
Enough is enough.
Conservatives will vote to FORCE Labour to publish the Defence Investment Plan.
It’s insane that with wars in Ukraine and Iran, Labour STILL haven’t published the plan promised a year ago. Conservatives will put our national security first.
It's completely sickening that a gang of Travellers who stalked and raped two schoolgirls have avoided jail.
Their sentences are now under review, but it's absurd that a judge was ever able to give them such a soft sentence.
Our justice system is clearly broken.
This is the right decision.
But it’s only happening because Conservative MPs referred the sentences as unduly lenient.
And it’s Labour policy to soften sentencing.
Early release… the abolition of short-term sentences… and now targets to stop under-18s going into custody.
I’m horrified that a paedophile has been moved to an open prison - allowed to roam our communities freely - despite still having another 7 years of his sentence to serve.
I have demanded the Government urgently review how this unacceptable decision has been made and ensure this is not repeated elsewhere.
I posted this during the week but I'm doing it again because it's absolutely staggering.
@AngelaRayner can claim £40,000 in direct office expenses and a further £240,000 for "staff costs" etc.
She's also been gifted another quarter of a million quid from "supporters" to cover even more "office expenses".
In total it comes to over £500,000 per year.
Or £10,000 PER WEEK.
FOR OFFICE EXPENSES.
A UK pensioner is expected to survive on just £12,500 PER YEAR.
That's just 9 days worth of Angela Rayners "office expenses".
Are you OK with that?
The serial teenager gang rapists must be put in prison.
No, ADHD and anxiety are not reasons for avoiding prison.
If this madness persists and they remain free on our streets they must at least be named - it is a matter of public safety that we should know who they are.
Polygamy is illegal in the UK.
But if you’ve married 4 wives overseas and moved here, you could claim up to £78,000 in benefits. Paid for by British taxpayers.
That is absurd. Conservatives will end this.
Polygamy has never been normal in Britain.
And yet the Government has just committed to giving even more taxpayer money to people in polygamous marriages.
If you come to this country, you should abide by our norms. You certainly shouldn't get paid extra for failing to do so.
The Government wants to raise the age of criminal responsibility to 14 years old.
The Government wants to treat under 25s as children in our justice system.
The Government wants to give votes to 16 year olds.
Make it make sense.
Danny’s argument was it’s ok to talk about a woman in that dehumanising and revolting manner if it’s *private*…
… oh and our candidate thought tweets were private?
If their candidate thought Twitter replies are private he’s a moron, and the way he speaks about women… speaks for itself.

Three teenagers escaped prison after gang-raping two schoolgirls.
The country is shocked and disgusted.
But it is explicit government policy to send fewer criminals under eighteen to prison.
I’ve written to David Lammy demanding he changes course.
Keir Starmer has a new "Adviser on Women and Girls".
She's already offered a seat in the House of Lords to a Labour councillor who tried to block a grooming gang inquiry in Oldham.
How can victims, and the public, have any confidence in a government that behaves like this?
