Without Virginia Guiffre's courage, her civil case and her book, public opinion would not have changed on Andrew.

And without public opinion changing... well... it's hard to imagine that Thames Valley Police would done what they did this morning.

Here's to Virginia.

All strength and solidarity to Joanne Young. Waiving anonymity and speaking out after years of harm takes immense courage.

The second victim of the Brown University shooting has been identified as 18-year-old Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov.

After brain surgery at age 10, he always dreamed of becoming a neurosurgeon, which is what he was studying for.

His family says he was “the most kind-hearted person” and their “biggest role model.”

Truly heartbreaking. Rest in peace. Prayers for his loved ones. 🙏🏻

The reality of rape trials being “floaters” says everything: a system that openly acknowledges how brutal the process is, and quietly banks on victims dropping out.

You can’t rebuild your life when you’re trapped in permanent limbo.This is exactly why radical reform is needed. Justice delayed is justice denied - and every survivor deserves a fair, swift first trial.

All strength to Morwenna Loughman for speaking so powerfully on Newsnight last night.

It was great to get @Azeem_Majeed's insights on the #10yearplan for our recent podcast. As he said, those in the profession will have heard similar plans/promises over the past 30 years - so how can it be successfully implemented *this* time?

There were, indeed, rivers of blood after Enoch Powell made his speech.

The blood of Gurdip Singh Chaggar. Altab Ali. Stephen Lawrence.

Between 1976-1985, there were 35 racist murders in the UK.

Racist violence doesn't occur in a vacuum; it is enabled by rhetoric from the top.
