This makes me absolutely sick!
How dare the government betray victims like this, after everything we've been through to get them charged and convicted in the first place.
It is beyond any reasonable comprehension, in a civilised society, that they would think this acceptable
Really pleased to see this report of a novel legal challenge brought by my colleague Kate Ellis @centreWJ suing the CPS for failing to use critical bad character evidence in a historical child sexual abuse case https://t.co/9UarCSrtHt

Great first meeting with Ghadah Alnasseri, Director of @Imkaan, the national voice for Black and minoritised women and girls facing violence.
We spoke about the vital role 'by and for' specialist services play in supporting victims, and why lived experience must shape policy.
Watched the first episode of #BelieveMe and have been anxiety filled since. The similarities to what the Met police said and did to me is horrifying. No, they did not learn any lessons. Misogyny is baked into that system.

Important meeting last week with the Chief Executive of the compensation scheme for victims of crime, @CICAgov.
Keen to work together to reform the scheme – tackling why too many victims remain ineligible, improving communications, and simplifying the application process.
Looking forward to the four part drama 'Believe Me' starting tonight on ITV EXCLUSIVE: ITV drama Believe Me: Worboys' victims failed by police so badly, says real life lawyer https://t.co/tLJ2osMn54
I wrote, for @unherd, about Believe Me, the drama series on ITV about the serial rapist John Worboys, the catastrophic police failures, and the incredible courage and tenacity of those survivors (assisted by @HWistrich) to hold them to account:
