This is why we can’t assume corporations will do the right thing without regulation. Politicians need to be strong enough to lead in climate change. https://t.co/IMvWKuIq76

Inspiring conversation and a fun time with @CentenaryAction on how we can bridge the gap for women in business and politics. Lots of ideas on what we can do.

This should be the last time when other football takes place on the same day as the Women’s World Cup Final.

It is time for the whole footballing world to give the women’s and girls’ game the respect it deserves.

Rape is currently "effectively decriminalised" with rape prosecutions standing at 1.3%. That means almost 98.7% perpetrators involved in reported rapes walk free.

False allegations stand at 3%, the same as for any other crime.

How many people who didn't vote because no voter ID so didn't turn up, (I met 10 yesterday and today), or even the number actually turned away are the government willing to tolerate. Surely 1 person stopped is too many?

[Femi @Femi_sorry]

Today is probably the most undemocratic election in the UK since women got the right to vote....

And even the TORIES F***ING KNOW IT!! They did this intentionally.

Several household name BBC journalists should be required to explain why, *for seven years*, they have failed to do what @MarinaPurkiss does here with consummate ease...

I know I'm a cynic, but this feels a lot like voter suppression.

It's a good time to remember that the Chairman of the BBC is Richard Sharp, someone who's donated £400,000+ to the Conservatives and helped Boris Johnson with an £800,000 loan.

Let's remember that when they talk about BBC "impartiality".

A member of the ruling party has reached the conclusion that we must take away the human rights of a select group of people. International human rights treaties were drawn up to protect all people from populist approaches like this and we need them more than ever.

In 24 hours I've reported on PC David Carrick's brutal sex offending + suspected gun killing of Epsom headmistress and 7yo daughter by her husband. I read in horror about a mother + 2yo lured to Scotland to be murdered. We have a male violence problem that is utterly sickening
