Today MPs debated the decriminalisation of abortion. Under a law made before we could vote, women are prosecuted for abortion. And investigations are increasing.

Ask your MP to speak out against harmful benefit cuts Cutting health and disability benefits will push more people with mental health problems into poverty. Ask your MP to call on the Prime Minister to stop the damaging cuts and listen to disabled people...

We know lots of you have been feeling heavy with the news about benefit cuts. It's not good enough. Our mental health is getting worse, and cutting benefits won't help.

Your words hold power. Will you email your MP, and make sure your voice is heard? 1/2

This weekend, going to watch last two episodes of 'Adolescence' with the teenagers. (Parents & teens watched the first episodes separately) Writing a column - after Southgate's lecture on boys + men, David Norris's parole bid. This was a theme too at Fawcett's feminist futures conference last month
