Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

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.

DWP change to Universal Credit and PIP 'will plunge 50,000 into poverty by 2030'
The Department for Work and Pensions are set to plunge tens of thousands of disabled and chronically-ill claimants into poverty by the end of the decade - 2030
DWP change to Universal Credit and PIP could put 50,000 people into poverty.
1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined.
The bottom 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%.
Tax the rich. Poverty is a political choice.

Then there is the constant platforming of Farage in particular and Reform. They have the same number of MPs as the Greens and far less than the Lib Demβs, Ed Davey would have to murder someone to get the same airtime as the pinstripe Moseley.
