We’re teenage girls fighting to ban the use of school uniform in porn. Why have you left it up to us?
No one should have to feel nervous about walking to school in clothes designed for children. It’s time for law to end the sexualisation of minors

Lights, camera, diplomacy!

🎬 Amazing to go behind the scenes on set with the cast and crew of @netflix’s The Diplomat earlier this year as they filmed Series 4.

Hugely proud of brilliant creative talent & 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 collaboration behind the series…and our real diplomats globally!

The Prime Minister presented a special recognition award at the Pride of Britain Awards to honour the founders of Andy’s Man Club, Elaine and Luke.

In 2016, Andy Roberts, Elaine’s son and Luke’s brother-in-law, tragically took his own life at just 23 years old. The pair went on to create Andy's Man Club, a male suicide prevention charity that has grown from a single group in Halifax to more than 360 groups nationwide.

Through its mission to break the stigma around men’s mental health, Andy’s Man Club has saved thousands of lives and inspired men to speak up when they need help 🤝

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

This Labour Government is putting problem solving before point scoring. There is no issue more in need of that than national security.

[Torsten Bell @TorstenBell]

What is @KemiBadenoch’s new big idea? Exactly the same as the Conservatives’ old big idea: unfunded tax cuts. It’s the lack of imagination as much as the fiscal incontinence that stands out https://t.co/4vr2BCbMeh

[Jess Asato MP @Jess4Lowestoft]

Last month, 12 ICBs, including Norfolk and Suffolk, were selected as part of the first £34.4 million phase of rolling out ‘Steps to Safety’.

The Department for Health and Social Care is also investing £15 million to boost local specialist support services for victims.

[Jess Asato MP @Jess4Lowestoft]

A new service that allows GPs to refer patients who are victims of domestic abuse or sexual violence to specialist support has begun to be rolled out across the country.

[Jess Asato MP @Jess4Lowestoft]

Health settings are so often the first place for victims to disclose their abuse – and it is vital that we have a robust process in place to best support them.

When seven in ten boys encounter posts online promoting misogyny, and a third of all children have encountered content encouraging violence against women and girls, can we be surprised?

[Jess Asato MP @Jess4Lowestoft]

This week, a boy in Norwich was found guilty of attempting to murder a girl at school.

In his notes, he identified his motive as ‘misogyny’.

[Jess Asato MP @Jess4Lowestoft]

With thanks to the work of Pornography Harms Coalition, including @CEASEorgUK and @barnardos.
