I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Absolutely this!

This is absolutely spot on!

How to be a man The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...

Home Office recorded 1500 asylum hotel complaints in 2023 Asylum hotel providers receive billions in government contracts while residents report harassment and abuse

You should read this article about the horrifying abuse of people seeking asylum. These so called hotels are more like dehumanising holding pens where sexual abuse is rife and children are getting rickets www.opendemocracy.net/en/asylum-ho...

I’m going to keep being dangerous…are you? 🤔

What did you think of “The Good Father”? Made me feel like I felt when I read “We Need to Talk About Kevin”. Utterly fascinating but gut wrenching and unputdownable!

@johnswinney.bsky.social there are children who go hungry in my school everyday, I am disgusted at the money being offered to help fund the American President’s course to hold the Open! 🤬🤯

😱

Teaching is a team sport. Look after each other and don’t forget the person who looks after you 😊

Jesus felt deep compassion, in his guts, for anyone who was poor, sick, hungry or struggling in any way. For the Christian, then, empathy is not a sign of weakness but of strength, as we follow Jesus along the road of compassion.

Naomi, in Scotland we have a Modern Studies course from S1 to S6 (secondary) mandatory in S1-S3, you can do a politics qualification at Higher Level. In primary, there is People in Society curriculum. Also, Scottish Studies- including mock elections and debating.

I live in Irvine, so not sure if it was more traumatic as I could identify and have been to most of the places! 😬

I think I might just be incredulous at the absurdity of it all!

I think I need an idiot’s guide to what this all means…it’s too much to understand! 🙈

Your regular reminder that over a lifetime, people born in 1956 will each receive on average £291,000 more from the welfare state than they paid in, compared to £132,000 for people born in 1996 (h/t Resolution Foundation)

Just something to consider next time you hear “I’ve paid in all my life…”

@liammcilvanney.bsky.social just finished reading “The Good Father”…might need a few days to recover…powerful, hard hitting and slightly trauma inducing but brilliant!

The fireman was asked why he was laughing while saving this old woman. He said that the old woman had told him:

- You reminded me of my wedding night.\

Labour is investing £53 Million to tackle violence against women and girls

#Labour #KeirStarmer

Please give this a listen…A Trump world is actually terrifying!

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Listened to this! The immorality of the Govt and the Conservatives who abandoned people who were unaware of the threat against them is astounding…my heart and soul is devastated for those who lived this!

Scapegoating migrants won’t fix Britain’s welfare system When it comes to Universal Credit, there is no foreign invasion - just ordinary people, overwhelmingly British, struggling to get by.

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.
