❌Are subjected to coercion & control in hotel accommodation
❌akin to patterns they have experienced in previous abusive relationships & situations

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.

[Trust for London @trustforlondon]

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

The Bromley Trust is really happy to be featured!

Our new report today shows that people needing #councilfunerals are subject to a postcode lottery at end-of-life, in death and in #bereavement. Voluntary guidelines are not working in England and Wales and are non-existent in the rest of the UK. This cannot continue.

[Rob Allen @robroballen]

Worth considering that 40% of the average custodial sentence length (ACSL) in 2023 is still two weeks longer than 50% of the ACSL was in 2013.

[The Refugee Tales @RefugeeTales]

All those miles and all that rain and we made it even more determined by the last step than the first. This is what hope - beautiful hope - looks like! Cherish it, clean your boots and we’ll keep walking.

[Des Freedman @lazebnic]

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

[Women in Prison @WIP_live]

We have a message as we welcome:

- @ShabanaMahmood, Justice Secretary
- @Heidi_Labour, Justice Minister
- @wesstreeting, Health Secretary
- @JamesTCobbler, Prisons, Parole and Probation Minister
- @AnnelieseDodds @bphillipsonMP Women & Equalities Ministers

[Detention Action @DetentionAction]

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__
