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.

A glaring omission from Government on modern & secure democracies: first past the post voting system continues despite plans to restore the supplementary vote for mayoral elections.

Watch @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk call out the BBC for their failure to hold Nigel Farage to account.

Yet again @bbclaurak.bsky.social gives the Tories a free ride. Barely challenges or interrupts Chris Phillp as gives a party political broadcast.

Had a similar experience . β€œ we should send all the immigrants back !” . Even children . Yes . To a war zone ? Yes . Would you have done that to Jews fleeing the Nazi’s? That was a long time ago. These are truly dangerous times if folk take in the populist narrative.

If I was Rachel Reeves I would get her team to look closely at Reforms non dom tax . It looks attractive so copy it if works .

Indeed but this is a national politician seeking coverage of herself , looking righteous. The one question she needs to answer she cannot. Will she apologise for the Tory failures on this issue?

I find it truly sickening to be watch the politicisation . Shame on the Tories .

Am I alone in feeling deeply uncomfortable watching Tory leader Kemi Badenoch politicise chief grooming . The Tories had 14 years .

First time in several weeks I have been able to swatch politics. Watching @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social I am alarmed . Reform UK are clearly a danger to our country . Our values, our reputation and our standing are all at risk.

Β£20000 personal tax allowance for all … a great idea but at what cost . Time for news outlets to challenge Reform UK.

The problem with Robert Jenricks narrative on immigration is that he has turned into a matter of race. His examples of divisive & segregated communities is race & ethnicity based. His talk & knowledge of History is also is also divisive and partisan. He talks of our country, language and history.

One thing Labour should have done immediately on election was to restore the supplementary vote for mayoral elections.

Here we go @bbclaurak.bsky.social paints a distorted electoral picture. She talks of Labours historic win in July 2024 failing to recognise the low vote share & the impact of first past the post.

Headlines on Friday Labour drubbed in local elections after landslide in General Election … forgetting that the Lab win was fragile & distorted by first past the post.
