Labour wouldn’t be in the mess it’s in now if it were daring to say these things.

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.

Journalists shouldn’t be altering direct quotes to fit their ideologies. That isn’t journalism.

🚨 You can literally pinpoint the exact moment he realises he hasn’t thought this through. A moment many anti trans voices will have at some point in the future.

It bears repeating today: the women celebrating the UK supreme court ruling do not speak for me. History shows that the rights of women and the rights of trans people will rise and fall together. My safety as a cis woman will never spring from the persecution of trans women.

Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling. The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right. Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.

This has never been more true than today.

When we said the US anti-abortion extremists had their sights set on the UK, we really weren't kidding. Across Britain, Parliaments voted for these laws to protect women. We're not backing down. #prochoice #antiharassment #backoff

The President of the United States of America just called for Ethnic Cleansing. Regardless of your political affiliation, this is indefensible.

“in gaza it’s a guarantee they’ll die” sitting next to the man who murdered them. beyond evil. there are no words

Men say “they’re not men” re. Pelicot and the other rapists. Oh, they very much are. In fact you probably know a guy like this, they walk amongst us, they don’t identify themselves. All men will continue to benefit from women’s fear until they actually act and help to end this.

Gisele Pelicot should be the Time person of the year. For bravely waiving her anonymity in one of the most horrific rape cases the world has seen, to take a stand for survivors and shame the perpetrators. Instead they’re featuring Trump, a rapist, for the second time. Obviously.

MYTH: There is a safe way to strangle Whether it is consensual or non consensual strangulation is a lack of oxygen to the brain. The impact on the brain and psychological impact is significant and we really need to wake up to this. There is no safe way to strangle. #16Days

“ When a Clown moves into the Palace, he doesn’t become a King, The Palace becomes a Circus” is a Turkish proverb which is worth heeding in the coming days.

Gisèle Pelicot walking to take the stand today, her strength echoing in every step: “It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them,” she told the court. "I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer,"
