@OfficialPLT the WORST customer service. Returns portal is broken so when you message within 21 deadline window with return details,they respond the next day to say out of time and no refund. Will never shop here again!

Yet another historic abuse case. Former pupils are taking legal action against their former private school for the abuse they endured between the 1960’s-1990’s. Hats off to you for speaking out https://t.co/WDiq2Id2bZ

I give you the female police officer who ran towards the gravest of danger, alone, confronted a rampaging knife man, eliminated the threat, & still managed to administer first aid right after.
If you're looking for a hero today, you need look no further.

@Ex_arv_sgt Hats off to the officers that put themselves at risk all for less than £43,000 a year!

[Legal Philomath @legalphilomath]

@CommissionerDA @reetacbbc Domestic abuse victims are not only being let down by stretched services but also by stretched police forces, stretched crown prosecution services and stretched court rooms. Those who are trying to provide are being broken in the process. Things must change.

@Ex_arv_sgt They feel the need to make an example of him because of his occupation. Yet all coppers know those familiar faces who commit crime over and over and over again and never see the inside of a court room.

@JJSharpers Some people seem to think that risking people’s lives is better than ✨ offending ✨ others

16-18 months which they will only serve half of. The government pledges to crack down on crime but all we see is complete leniency?

Two teenagers who brandished machetes during a fight outside a city centre art gallery have been jailed.

When will the government admit that years of austerity has caused this and this was an issue long before covid came along

Latest criminal court figures are dreadful:

* Crown Court backlog was 67,573 by end of December 2023 (up 8% from 2022).
* 18,045 of those Crown Court cases have been outstanding for a year; 6,523 for two years or more.
* Magistrates’ court backlog up 7% to 370,731.

The system is broken beyond repair. The NHS, Police, CPS, courts and mental health services are all on their knees. The exact victims the system is designed to protect are the ones being let down. https://t.co/W5mqObq097

Interesting article around historical sexual abuse conducted by a female on male boarders at school. Unfortunately not uncommon but thankfully more men are stepping forward https://t.co/MheveB56Oy

What type of society do we live in when a badge on a football kit leads to more political commentary & outrage than learning from the Govt’s own figures that 5% of the entire UK population are going hungry, including huge numbers of children.
Grim.

Forcing victims and survivors of domestic abuse into debt is a form of coercive control that can have devastating consequences.

If this has happened to you, support is available. Visit @SEAresource website for help ⬇️

A system failing the very people it’s supposed to protect. A system broken beyond repair.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

@Conservatives You have defunded the criminal justice system to the point of collapse.

Every day I meet victims of the most serious, appalling crimes, whose agonies have been exacerbated by the system that you have broken.

There has never been a government as soft on crime as @RishiSunak’s.

Following on from this, the first person in England was today jailed for the offence of ‘cyber flashing’. Nicholas Hawkes has been jailed for 66 weeks after sending unsolicited images of himself to a 15 year old girl and another female.

Positive steps being made for victims of abuse! Newly revised #JCguidelines now recognises image based abuse for victims. This includes #revengeporn. A massive step forward for victims who are part of this emerging crime. #CICA #compensation #victim #abuse

Tonight on channel 5 at 10pm, watch Richard Spencer bravely speak out about the 20 years of abuse he suffered at the hands of his wife, Sheree Spencer.

Princess Diana’s brother has spoken out about being sexually abused. Sadly abuse at boarding schools is not all that uncommon. https://t.co/Z9KzOR2OQz

[Legal Philomath @legalphilomath]

Anyone can be the victim of domestic abuse. Its well known that victims are more likely to be women, but let’s never forget about the countless men who stay silent. https://t.co/7k6Eb7PZJM
