"We need a real sea change in understanding." The government will announce its long-awaited strategy to tackle violence against women and girls next week. Anna Birley, co-founder of Reclaim These Streets, and Harriet Wistrich, founder of the Centre for Women's Justice, speak

"Violence against women is a more reliable producer of reports than measures that might give sexual predators pause" - great piece from @polblonde https://t.co/qbGnZbC01L

“Shame on him. Shame on him.” Baroness Kennedy KC criticises justice secretary David Lammy for “perpetuating a myth” about the backlog of rape cases to justify reducing the number of jury trials. @HelenaKennedyKC | @KateEMcCann

Time to turn words to action. The Govt commitment to halving VAWG is admirable but over a year later, where's the strategy or funding? I hope the Angiolini report part 2 will be accepted in full and that the funding will urgently be found to implement all her recommendations 3/3

We were promised that the awful murder of Sarah Everard was a turning point but countless women have been killed, attacked & harassed since while nothing has changed. A quarter of police forces haven't even implemented basic policies for investigating sexual offences. /2

Part 2 of the Angiolini report makes excellent recommendations and I welcome the focus on perpetrators not victims. But Lady Elish is spot on - any claim that cutting violence against women and girls is "just words" unless the funding is there to match. /1

The Prime Minister said in September that we are at a fork in the road. These asylum proposals suggest we have taken the wrong turning. The idea that recognised refugees need to be deported is wrong. We absolutely need immigration controls. And where those controls decide to

Rowley is clearly deeply unserious about reform. Denying institutional racism, burying reports, failing to undertake the 2-year review post Casey, more concerned about reputation than tackling racism? Time to go. https://t.co/SLjbaqKcP9

75% of Britons say they would support a wealth tax proposed by former Labour leader Lord Kinnock of 2% on wealth over £10 million Support: 75% Oppose: 13%

Have you seen missing Lillie Keane? The 16-year-old was last seen in the Beacon Road area of Chatham at around 7.30pm yesterday. She is 5ft 6in tall with straight blonde hair and green eyes. It is thought she may be wearing black denim shorts and a dark grey top with black

🚨New: FTSE 100 CEOs will make more money by noon today than the average UK worker will in the whole year.

This year, let’s commit to creating a safer world for women and girls. Starting with tackling misogyny in society and education from a young age, we can build a future rooted in respect

Happy 180th Birthday to the co-operative movement!! 🥳 @coopuk can trace its roots back to the first store opening in Rochdale on 21 December 1844. Co-operatives are a different way of doing business as the excellent article below by @coopnews describes👇💙

Unexpectedly emotional about the Assisted Dying bill vote today. I'm thinking about my brother who died a painful and undignified death from terminal bowel cancer, despite exceptional palliative care. I'm hopeful others will have end of life choices that weren't available to him

Whatever your view on assisted dying, this Commons debate has shown MPs at their best: thoughtful, measured, respectful, non-partisan. A good antidote to those who think they're all in it for themselves. https://t.co/byZ83QLu11

Businesses are far less likely to survive the Brexit that Gail's chairman backed or the effects of climate change which he denies than the employment bill. Only businesses exploiting their staff with unfair t&cs will lose out when their employees' rights at work are strengthened

Factcheck: Maternity pay has existed since 1911 & is essential for women to make informed, supported reproductive choices. It is also currently at a level where 71% of women worry 'a lot' about money during maternity leave and 35% of new mothers skip meals to afford to live.

Couzens, Carrick, now Tyrell. No wonder Casey called the Parliamentary & Diplomatic Protection Unit the Met's "dark corner". Progress on the recs in Casey's Report is too little & too slow. Rowley should justify why he hasn't disbanded the unit altogether https://t.co/A7Fvfj4MLQ

narrator: Labour set to rebalance tax system somewhat from income to wealth after decades of extreme house price growth that has left under-35s locked out of the property market
