    Just sharing this to express the shit women put up with, no need to check if I’m OK, we all know how normal stuff like this is 1/ I’m on holiday at the minute. I’m laying by the pool near two men, they were staring at me quite a lot but I, obviously, just ignore it

    Women are being *killed* walking through the parks of London and the Government thought the answer was to install a bit more street lighting Say her name #SabinaNessa and ask yourself where is the same outcry that there was for Sarah Everard?

    I am horrified how a MP can show such unmerited aggression and violence against this poor woman, in a public no less, with 100s watching and absolutely no intervention from anyone. If anyone knows who this woman is please tell so I can help her get legal redress. #markfield

    Replying to @PaulBrandITV
    In this longer version of the video, you can see the woman apparently posing no immediate threat as she passes behind Mark Field. He marches her out of the room by her neck. I wasn’t there, so I can’t say she didn’t pose a risk, but it looks heavy handed.

    And while we are coming to terms to what has happened to Sarah Everard, the Government are busy passing legalisation to allow police officers to commit rape and sexual violence even torture during covert operations all with impunity

    Imagine if we all cared about protecting the victims of rape as much as we cared about protecting powerful men’s careers and reputations 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Helped another woman today prepare to go the Employment Tribunal, as she is forced to represent herself, with no lawyer, against a man who sexual assaulted and harassed her out of a job she loved. It is simply unconscionable legal aid was cut for this.

    It took far too many women to lose their lives for victims of domestic abuse to finally be mentioned by Boris as a top priority at the No 10 briefings

    A six week suspension is basically just a paid holiday for sexual harassing your staff

    Um, actually, this not how our legal system works. At all. You can’t be ‘guilty’ of defamation, it’s not a crime or an offence you can be convicted of, you bring a successful claim or you don’t. Save this kind of chat for the law buffs guys

    Jeremy Corbyn isn’t guilty of defamation unless or until he’s convicted of such an offence. That’s how our legal system works. A legislator like Rosie Duffield should probably be a little more circumspect with her likes!

    This would undermine any hope of removing political interference from sexual harassment complaints in the Labour Party and would actually endanger’s MP staff safety How anyone could even suggest this when ex MP Mike Hill is in the Employment Tribunal for sexual assault...

    I'm backing this rule change for this year's Labour Party Conference that, if passed, could see the whip returned to Jeremy Corbyn The change would make the Parliamentary Labour Party accountable to Conference on decisions to withdraw the whip. Details👇 clpd.org.uk/campaign/lets-…

    As the daughter of immigrants, I owe the life I enjoy to freedom of movement and immigration policies that welcomed Europeans and South Asians to this country and valued their contribution. Let there be no mistake, you do not speak for us #PritiPatel.

    "This daughter of immigrants needs no lectures from the north London, metropolitan, liberal elite." Home Secretary Priti Patel says she will "end the free movement of people once and for all".
