Disgraceful response by @Tesco - ‘well, we didn’t know at the time and oh we’ve now sold that part of the business, so…’: https://t.co/6TxzsZHE9q #fastfashion

A welcome move - and we know that the legal profession is complicit in using parental alienation as a weapon or threat against victims of domestic abuse: https://t.co/t8O8ON3zb1

[Yoriko Otomo @WriteSamurai]

‘Parental alienation’ has so often been shown to be used by controlling men as punishment against ex wives in custody disputes. Despite repeated warnings by lawyers’ and women’s (DV) groups, courts continue to look the other way: https://t.co/hLU4G5UuEA @louisetickle

@louisetickle You are absolutely right. Thank you @louisetickle for continuing to bring this sickening state of affairs to light.

[Louise Tickle @louisetickle]

“Woman killed by ex feared losing access to child after reporting abuse, inquest told” - domestic abuse victims are understandably terrified their children will be taken from them, rather than confident they’ll be supported to live safely. https://t.co/t1vVgd7Ncw

#HeadlinesWeAreMissing This should be headline news. Today’s CPS stats show convictions for domestic abuse are down by 45% over the last 6 years. There were fewer #DomesticAbuse convictions in the last quarter than at the peak of covid, when most courts were closed. @RuthKDavison

We are co-hosting a FREE event on 2nd November with @tortoise on reporting the family court. A new pilot is about to start which could revolutionise transparency. Join @louisetickle and an expert panel to discuss what it means. Use code FAMCOURT to join: https://t.co/BMVYVBLPvH

This is the story I’ve been fighting to publish for a year and 7 days - the story of a powerful man, an MP, a minister of state, who abused & raped his wife while in office… today, with incredible support from @tortoise, and @familoo as barrister, I won. https://t.co/wEWkjh1Zpl

@kareyhelms what a brilliant paper on milk - I really enjoyed it!!

[Mandu Reid @ManduReid]

In response to @borisjohnson’s announcement, I’m calling on govt to enact emergency measures to protect women & children trapped in abusive homes: police powers to evict perpetrators from homes for duration of #lockdown, via DVPOs including waiving court fees for them.
