This is so bizarre. This week’s @bbc Media Show asks ‘Why are Russian oligarchs only now in the spotlight?’

& ‘Why is it only now that the mainstream press has put the oligarchs in the spotlight?’

WHAT?!? We at @guardian & @ObserverUK did. The problem is @bbc NEVER followed up

Heroes, every one of them.

BREAKING: Cressida Dick has resigned as head of the Met Police following months of intense criticism.

The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan gave her the push today, dissatisfied with her response.

Bleak hour or so not far from Calais. Scores and scores of people having to walk up and down the roadside after their camp was broken up by police. They say officers confiscated their sleeping bags and equipment. It’s cold, miserable- saw a couple of kids crying in the street.

[Women's Aid @womensaid]

We’ve said it before & we will say it again. Violence against women is a grave issue, deep-rooted in societal attitudes towards women. We will continue to campaign for women’s safety, but we need a whole-system approach that destroys misogyny and discrimination. #SaySabinasName

[Mandu Reid @ManduReid]

No. It’s not good enough to hand out safety alarms and tell women to be careful and vigilant… we’re already careful and vigilant.

DEAL WITH THE THREAT.

ALL women and girls should be able to take safety and freedom for granted.

#SabinaNessa was much loved by her community in #Lewisham. The parents of children that went to her school have reached out to express their affection for her and their children’s grief at her brutal murder. Today many will honour her but the injustice of her death is not healed.

[WEP Lewisham LDN @WEPLewisham]

Please join the Kidbrooke and Lewisham community in honouring the life of Sabina - a woman that meant a lot to our community, who taught and took care of our children. #SabinaNessa #EndViolence #lewisham #VAWG

[WEP Lewisham LDN @WEPLewisham]

Another woman murdered and this time in #Lewisham. Police are still asking for information - please share with your local networks - especially those living in Kidnrooke and/or near Cator park on Friday night last week

"I dedicate this story to every single survivor of sexual assault."

@MichaelaCoel's I May Destroy You helped catalyse national conversations about sexual assault; shaping attitudes and rewriting damaging myths and misconceptions.

[Mandu Reid @ManduReid]

Another woman murdered in a senseless act of brutal violence.

Sabina Nessa: say her name.

She lived, worked and was murdered within a short radius of where I live in Lewisham. This could’ve been me or my sister.

#EnoughIsEnough
We will honour her life.

We would also like to take the opportunity to raise that those on legacy benefits PIP/DLA and ESA did not receive the uplift that those on UC received- yet again showing just how unfairly the benefits system treats #Disabled people.

Our brilliant caucus member @PhilippaWrites was on the radio discussing the recent case in York where a disabled councillor was excluded from democracy due to her disability:

[Mandu Reid @ManduReid]

Devastating news. This was a tinderbox situation from the beginning of the US withdrawal. It must be so terrifying being on the ground in Kabul right now or wrestling with the fear and uncertainty of what could happen to people you know and love. Thinking of all those affected.
