Donald Trump said he wants to punish women. And, as a result of his actions, today in America, one out of three women live in a state with a Trump Abortion Ban.
The events of the last week have been nothing short of deplorable. The far-right, racist & Islamophobic violence that we've seen on our streets and online has no place in our society.
We stand in solidarity with the migrant & minoritised communities who have been targeted. 1/3

Nigel Farage received 12% of TV/press coverage in the election. @TheGreenParty (with 4 seats to Reform’s 5) didn’t even make top 20. Great research from @lboroCRCC shows Greens & smaller parties were especially marginalised by a press mesmerised by Farage’s anti-migrant noise
As well as these shocking conditions, HMIP found that around 60% of people detained were released without being deported. They say this “begs the question of why so much taxpayer money was being spent keeping them locked up in the first place”.

"Prison reform is long overdue. We're calling on the new Government to make a new start for mental health - and given the urgency of the situation in prisons today, the justice system is a crucial place for that action to begin now" - @Andy__Bell__
