Trish was at @Anawim_BCW meeting to learn about services they provide for the women in their community. This amazing Women’s Centre encompasses all aspects of a woman’s life. It was also a pleasure to meet the Lady Mayoress of Solihull who was interested in Dorcas's work💜

JUST ANNOUNCED:

This Government will launch a new body: the Women's Justice Board.

Its goal will be to reduce the number of women going to prison, with the ultimate ambition of having fewer women’s prisons.

Over 18,000 convictions for truancy were recorded in 2023. 70% were against women.

Will you sign our open letter and ask the Government to end this injustice? 👉✉️

Seems very fair to me

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Let’s treat men who want guns the way we treat women who want abortions:

Waiting period
Parental permission
Doctor’s note
Watch video on dangers
Forced him travel hundreds of miles to gun store
Make him walk through protestors

“[T]he fact is that overall sentences in Britain, in England and Wales anyway, are far, far longer than elsewhere in Europe. That is enormously expensive and the critical point is it doesn’t necessarily protect the public.”

Good discussion on @BBCr4today on our sentencing paper.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

I was proud to march with & speak to the huge number of people, who today demonstrated their solidarity with the Palestinian people, & all those in Israel, who are calling for an immediate ceasefire & an end to the killing.

"I held out and held out, and it was a question of who blinked first. And they blinked first. You don’t become Britain’s first Black woman MP because you give in to being pushed around like that...I know my worth." My interview with @HackneyAbbott

The jealousy and insecurity of a man to do something like this is mind blowing

[Imkaan @Imkaan]

We mourn the loss of Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei whose life, and talent, was taken from the world in a tragic murder - by her boyfriend. This is male entitlement. This is femicide.

❗️Change is needed, on a global scale. We stand united against VAWG and demand justice.

[Joy @joydoal]

This case literally makes me feel sick, bring all those rapists to justice 😖

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

This woman's righteous indignation over the loathsome piece of shit is spot-fucking-on. We cannot let Trump back into the White House. WE. CAN'T. 🔥🔥🔥🙌🙏👏🌊🇺🇸

[Joy @joydoal]

Absolutely 👍 sentences have got longer adding to why the prisons are full. The more full the prisons are the less rehabilitative activities happen
