26-year-old Kyle Clifford is being hunted by police.
It’s a fast moving situation and there’s a lot we don’t know.
But there is one thing that we DO know. And it’s depressingly, devastatingly familiar.
Three woman are dead.
They were killed in their home.
A mum, she was 61, and her two girls, 25 and 28, both in their twenties - that decade when you’re working out who you want to be and where you want to go with your life.
But for them, that’s now over.
A woman is killed by a man every three days in the United Kingdom.
That number has been remarkably consistent for the last twenty years.
Women are also much more likely to be killed by someone they know - two thirds of them are killed by a current or former partner.
“Domestic” – that word that somehow doesn’t feel adequate – because terror can also happen in the home.
Remember the three women killed at home in Bushey were still alive when the emergency services got there.
Yvette Cooper – the new Home Secretary – has said the killings are “truly shocking” – and she’s being kept fully updated on the case.
During the campaign, she said that violence against women and girls will be treated as a national emergency under Labour.
And less than a week into the job… three women killed at home. It certainly feels like an emergency.
@LordRoyKennedy Fantastic news.. you are amazing .
Out leafleting and door knocking in Worthing West one day and business manager for the Lords the next. That's what we call a proper authentic Labour Lord .. leads by example..

If you're lucky, you get to work with a few people you like, respect & can learn from. I don't what I did to get this lucky, but leading this team is one of the best jobs I've ever had (& I really do love my other day job in public health!)❤️
I’m delighted to back Scott for a East Worthing and Shoreham. He has an excellent understanding of county issues, and issues facing local people. We are lucky to have him. #Scott4EastWorthingandShoreham

The 7 year old boy who remained under the rubble for 5 hours has made it safely smiling. I see no one sharing. If he were dead, everyone would share! Share positivity... 1/2
Shame is a terrible motivator.
When I think “I should… [be able to do that task, exercise more, be on time, get better sleep, be a better friend],” I feel bad and am less likely to do those things.

The Labour Party is the natural political home for women's equality. It is great to see this policy against a backdrop of women (particularly BAME) being disproportionately affected through Covid and in low pay, unstable work.. #WomensEquality
Huge thanks to #Worthing Malayalees for hosting a fab #Onum event.🇮🇳
Keralans celebrate the annual return of demon king Mahabali with fun, games and food! 🎉
The tug of war was epic and the traditional singing and dancing just great.
It was an honour to help light the lamp.♥️
Last week I shared a flight with a crying infant who, despite his mother’s best efforts, wasn’t easily calmed in the minutes just before and after takeoff.
I was amazed by the level of anger it provoked among several fellow passengers - and one man in particular, who kept loudly asking if someone can’t “stick something in that kid’s mouth?”
I can only imagine how uncomfortable the baby’s mother, traveling solo with her child, must have felt.
She did eventually soothe her little guy (who may have cried for a total of five minutes) - but the man’s nastiness really soured the vibe on the flight - which may be why I felt so drawn to this video, which shows a markedly more empathetic community approach.
Alarmed by his first visit to the barber shop, this little guy begins to melt down.
Watch what the other patrons do to distract him from his anxiety and enable the barber to finish his work. Just beautiful.
Remember that we’re all in this together.

Our inflation rate is 6.8%. In Spain, it's 2.3%.
Here's some of how Spain did that:
- Proper caps on energy prices
- Lowered public transport costs
- Taxed excess profits
- Rent caps
We don't need more interest rate hikes.
We need to take on corporate power like Spain has.

Our political class are I’m convinced the final revenge of a bad BBC sitcom about a middle-class family which, having been axed following its poorly received pilot, became sentient and span out into its own extended universe, the cast of which has now collectively seized control.
