Devastated.

A student describes how it felt hearing the campus is set to close.

A large proportion of Essex's Southend students are local.

Closing it strips opportunity out of the community/

120 job cuts (including mine) announced by @LondonMetUni - decimating whole departments, a serious attack on working class education by an institution that claims to value "social justice".

We're going to fight to #SaveLondonMet

Grateful for @hmcpsi's response to recommendations in my London Stalking Review, including assessing cases that were sent to the @CPSUK. I am delighted that they have now announced a full thematic investigation into the CPS' handling of stalking in 2025. My full statement:

Completely agree a great collection from @Baddiel with all the best ingredients , family, truth and the irritations of life, deftly sliding between laughter and pathos.. and all the while like having a friend in the room.

[Jonn on TV 📺 www.jonn.co.uk @JonnOnTV]

Just seen the 3 episodes of David @Baddiel's One-Man Shows that start airing this Saturday on Sky, and I can loudly state he is back to his best.

Absolutely hillarious. Great work David. Thank you.

[Victims’ Commissioner for London @LDNVictimsComm]

Inspiring to be at the @acr_trust conference today, bringing together victims, practitioners and academics to share good practice across the country.

I spoke of our work to implement the recommendations from the London Stalking Review, crucial if Govt is to halve VAWG

[Protection Against Stalking @SeeingStalking]

Discussing #cyberstalking at @ACR_Trust conference. Perps will take the “path of least resistance” still, so often it’s basic cyber #stalking ie using #socialmedia @HelplineCyber. We’re lucky to partner with the Cyber Helpline to provide extra support to our clients.. ARTCONF24

[Alice Ruggles Trust @ACR_Trust]

Two incredibly interesting discussion groups happening now. One is discussing ‘the power of the victims' voice’ and the other discussing ‘the new frontiers of cyberstalking’

@ScotlandYardCSI It’s a fascinating story with 3 very different women at its core, all unusual for their time. That’s a good connection to make! I might watch it again 😊

[Professor Emma Short 💙 🎓 @Emmpath]

@ScotlandYardCSI This is just speculation, but it’s likely the motivation of the letter writer was quite different. A need express anger & fragile superiority, which was stifled by an abusive family and society at the time.Her letters and the distress they caused made her feel powerful & heard

[Professor Emma Short 💙 🎓 @Emmpath]

@ScotlandYardCSI There is a small but increasing amount published about the psychological motivations behind catfishing, ranging from financial gain or deliberate harassment to experimentation with emulating an ideal self and having a meaningful emotional interaction otherwise absent in life.
