Far too many women have been on the receiving end of harassment, abuse and violence for far too long.
With violence against women and girls declared a ‘National Emergency’, we need our male allies to stand up and call out troubling behaviour when they see it.

British political culture pillar 1: “we want working class kids to get to the top.”
British political culture pillar 2: “let’s slam when they do! And especially their only means of getting there- the education they got through their own hard work.”
Seems logical!
A woman is killed by a man every three days in the UK
“Domestic” – that word that somehow doesn’t feel adequate – because terror can also happen in the home.
My thoughts on the Bushey tragedy
A good case that the Lib Dems just ran the most successful campaign (given the starting point) in British political history.
They won every seat they targeted bar Jeremy Hunt's, in every part of the country. Absolutely clinical.
Exactly this.
Labour winning this scale of majority with a relatively modest vote share is a sign of success, not of failure.
We can have a conversation about voting reform, but to underplay that achievement is both bitter and ridiculous
Don’t want to do the whole prophetic fallacy thing - but as Starmer drives to Downing St the sun comes out. What a contrast to May 22 when Sunak launched the election campaign
A thought this morning for the inspirational @CarolineLucas who spent over a decade working hard to establish the Greens as a viable Parliamentary Party. She now steps down by handing over to four Green MPs who not only won, but won comfortably.
What a disgrace these people are. Good on @jessphillips for winning, taking these idiots on & standing her ground. This kind of thuggish intimidation has no place in our politics. No one should have to put up with this.
