@unisontheunion @unisontheunion as a union where almost 80% of your members are women, please clarify, are you now campaigning for the Equality Act to be changed so 'sex' is no longer a protected characteristic?

Whilst everyone else catches up - we continue to support those with lived experience for whom the PSA findings are no surprise #NMCNotFit #NoMoreCasualties #20liveslost #regulatenotlitigate

More girls become teenage mothers than boys become teenage fathers each year (roughly 4:1 ratio). At first this seems puzzling.... until you see the data: A large share of babies born to teen moms (especially ages 15-17) are fathered by adult men 20+, not teen boys. The younger the mom, the bigger the average age gap. Important context.

The response to the NMC fee rise continues - will anyone listen? #Handsoffourfees #educatenotlitigate #NMCNotFit #NoMoreCasualities #NoMeaningfulConsultation

Read and RT if u can. 🙏

❗️The true risk and menace of Valdo Calocane, and the abhorrent lack of care and professional ‘curiosity’ of all staff, at every level, in Nottingham Mental Health Trust is finally being exposed.

Stark and terrifying in its detail and chilling similarities with Southport.

Mainstream media; if you have capacity. Cover this.
It’s happening live and on public stream. Every day until June 10th.

Find some space alongside your relentless analysis of Starmer/Mandelson/McSweeney/et al. to make sure this is OUT in the public arena.

Only by this will accountability and change be FORCED to happen.

We are all here and willing to talk….

@EmilyMayTV @nottslive @ITVCentral @Fhamiltontimes @emilyjaneheap @BBCNottingham @bbcemt
You are doing an amazing job.
But we plead for all interested outlets to PLEASE support.

If you don’t, it could be your son, daughter or father next.

NHS SPENT £857K PROVING THEY WERE WRONG

Dr Kevin Beatt @drbeatt built Croydon University Hospital's @croydonhealth cardiology unit from nothing. Then he did something the NHS apparently cannot tolerate. He told the truth.

He warned about dangerous equipment, nursing shortages, and bullying. Nobody acted.

In June 2011, a senior nurse was suspended mid-procedure without his knowledge. A 63-year-old man, Gerald Storey, died on the table. The coroner confirmed the suspension contributed to his death. Beatt raised the alarm formally and repeatedly.

The Trust sacked him for gross misconduct. Reported him to the GMC. Issued a press statement the tribunal later found was deliberately designed to destroy his reputation.

Then they spent public money trying to make it stick.

The Employment Tribunal ruled against them. Landmark judgment. No misconduct. No ulterior motive. Unfairly dismissed for whistleblowing.

The Trust appealed. Lost. Appealed again. Lost. Tried the Supreme Court. Refused.

Final bill to taxpayers: £857,110 in compensation. Plus years of legal costs.

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt, Health Secretary at the time, called it a matter for the trust's board and walked away. The managers responsible faced zero consequences.

This is the template. @NHS trusts have learned that burying a whistleblower in legal processes, exhausting their finances, and waiting long enough means most people give up. Dr Beatt did not give up. He won. And it cost him everything anyway.

If institutions will not protect the people who protect patients, we have to.

Share this.

Because somewhere right now a doctor is deciding whether it is worth the risk to speak up.

The excuse of ‘lessons learnt’ in our country will only change when we find people accountable for simply not doing their job. We have never asked for any special treatment. I continue to ask…did you do your job? if you did not and that contributed to the murder of my brave & beautiful daughter you should be fired.

[Dr Emily Cooper @criminographer]

Absolutely disgusting treatment of bereaved parents/families by Channel 4. "Editorial constraints" should not be an excuse when the family has specifically given their reasons for wanting that information to be disclosed on air.

[Dave McPartlin @dave_mcpartlin]

It’s been a year since our children spoke up, went to Parliament and delivered a letter to Downing Street.

They didn’t get a reply.

The stink in our town is worse than ever.

Classrooms smell, the kids don't want to play out and it's affecting the mental health of so many people.

This is their message to the Prime Minister.

Please share.

[Emma @MrsEmmaWebber]

I’ve been asked to share my statement from our evidence at the Inquiry yesterday.

So here it is.

Thank you to all who listened, and continue to listen. 🫶

40% of teen pregnancies in 15 y/o girls involve a fathering man who is 20-29.

It is never lost on me that the conversations surrounding teen pregnancy are always about the promiscuity of teenage girls and not the violence of older men.

[Oliver Pridmore @OliverPridmore]

I was astounded at the Nottingham attacks inquiry by the bravery of the families who had to listen to failing after failing over their loved ones.

We owe it to them to look again at this monster.

How about she reads the names of the thousands of little girls she turned a blind eye to?

Let’s start with:

Lucy Lowe was 14.
Sarah Wilson was 11
Fiona Goddard was 14.
Charlene Downes was 11 or 12.
Sammy Woodhouse was 14.
Victoria Agoglia was 13.
And there are countless more.

They were children. Many barely out of primary school, so young and in no way responsible for the atrocities committed against them.

These are the little girls that Jess Phillips voted to deny a national grooming gangs inquiry.

When she accused whistleblowers of politicising child rape and being far-Right racists — these are the little girls she was accusing.

When she ignored local councils’ requests to meet with her as Safeguarding Minister, when she refused their pleas for local inquiries, voted against a national Grooming Gangs inquiry, then stripped down the government’s local enquiries until they were cancelled altogether.

She had to be dragged kicking and screaming into an inquiry, and is now trying to claim that she cares.

Think about what gangs of Pakistani-Muslim men put those little girls through.

Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs plied them with alcohol and drugs, they raped them in graveyards, they put them into the back of taxis and drove them to be gang-raped by 20+ of their friends, they dismembered them and sold them as kebab meat, they inserted a pump into their anal cavity and had multiple men sodomise them at once, they raped them on filthy mattresses above takeaway shops, they forced panties down their throat to muffle the screams, they threatened to murder them if they told anyone, they brutally beat them, they killed them and torched their houses with their family inside, they picked them up from local authority care homes to be raped, they forced them to take crack cocaine and heroin, they convinced them they loved them so they could abuse them, they killed their unborn children, they targeted the most vulnerable and marginalised, they told them no one would believe them, they forced them to get abortions, they passed them round like a piece of meat, they threatened to kill their families, they gaslit and manipulated them.

Now think about the people that were meant to protect them. Who comes to mind? Police, local councils, social services, sexual health clinics, schools, care homes.

People like Jess Phillips.
People like Keir Starmer.
But they didn’t.

Powerful people turned a blind eye for decades while little girls were being raped, tortured, and murdered.

Every party failed.
Every party played their part.

But Labour were the worst by a landslide. It was Labour-led towns, Labour councillors, Labour politicians, and Labour local authorities.

They branded them “white slags”, “child prostitutes”, and “paki shaggers”. They walked in on victims naked and drugged with 20+ adult men and only arrested the child, they arrested girls for prostitution and handed them back to the same men that were exploiting them, they added the victims to dockets as co-defendants in their own abuse, they downplayed the scale of abuse, they refused to investigate reports, they paid for the taxi rides the girls got raped during, they silenced whistleblowers, they blamed the girls for their own abuse, they tried to block inquiries, and more.

Now think again about how young they were, how vulnerable, how innocent.

And understand the true evil of politicians like Jess. They are trying to rewrite history, but we will not forget.

[Sex Matters @SexMattersOrg]

Sandie’s story shows how institutions are failing to listen to women even though the law and the public are on women’s side.

Use our email template to remind your employer that women have the right to privacy, dignity and safety at work, and that men don’t belong in women’s changing rooms.

I hope @marksandspencer have their Solicitors on standby and have informed their Insurers that they are probably breaching policy when it comes to 'third party liability'. I wonder how their Shareholders feel about paying claims from their own pockets. This is an M&S own goal.
