At least 52 UK women have been killed this year in cases where a man (or men) is the principal suspect. https://kareningalasmith.com/2022/04/28/2022/ #CountingDeadWomen

Language matters. I have made clear that the word ‘woman’ should not be removed from key women’s health pages.

I have been assured that the changes highlighted below, as well as others, are being reversed.

It's 3 years since the UK enshrined net zero into law.

We know there is vast room for debate on how to get there, but what we also know is that 2050 is the very latest we should get to net zero by. Great to see so many politicians come out in support of #NetZeroDay. https://twitter.com/EnvironmentAPPG/status/1541454730077020160

Plenty of messages about the cost of energy bills for @RishiSunak in Canterbury this morning and rather surprisingly some of them were not rude!

Does Nottingham City Council vet the views of all speakers at their civic venues? Or just feminists? They’ve cancelled a lesbian speaker during Pride because they’re signed up to Stonewall. I hope they’re sued for discrimination on basis of belief, as the Forstater case allows. https://twitter.com/MyNottingham/status/1540610180920008704

#ArmedForcesDay is a day to thank the extraordinary men and women in our Armed Forces community.

'It’s just downright embarrassing the Conservatives have had two and we haven’t even had a woman leader in opposition'

In an exclusive interview with Gloria De Piero, Harriet Harman MP says the Labour Party's next leader 'has got to be a woman'

We live in the age of the jabby, confrontational interview & the RMTs, Mick Lynch, has had a few of them.

Interest payments on the national debt rose 70% in May to £7.6bn (compared with a year earlier) - largely because of the impact of rising inflation on income paid to holders of index-linked gilts (inflation-protected government bonds). More worryingly, this was 49%…

As Johnson tries to limit pay rises the government controls to 3%, to bring down inflation, ministers have no explanation for why planned rises in the state pension, in universal credit and benefits, which will automatically rise in line with inflation - so by circa 10%…

I can’t tell you how proud I am of my sport @fina & @fina_president for doing the science, asking the athletes/coaches and standing up for fair sport for females. Swimming will always welcome everyone no matter how you identify but fairness is the cornerstone of sport https://twitter.com/sharrond62/status/1537686453311967234

We’re making a moral point based on our belief that every person is made in God’s image, and the calling from Christ to love our neighbour.

For that same reason, yes absolutely - everyone is welcome in the Church of England 🙏🏼 https://twitter.com/lucyallan/status/1538271358194528258

Spent the day back in northern France talking to those in the camps. What’s striking, is how similar the mood is to November, just after the catastrophe on the Channel. Fear yes, of the seas and now Rwanda- yet total resolution to make it across, all the same. This is why (🧵)

I am one of almost 100 Labour women MPs who have written to Boris Johnson today urging him to block new rules which threaten the rights of rape survivors to seek counselling before their attackers go on trial. No survivor should ever have to choose between therapy and justice.

Deporting asylum seekers should shame us as a nation.

Our Christian heritage should inspire us to treat vulnerable people with compassion, fairness and justice.

Read today’s letter in @thetimes from myself, @CottrellStephen and all the bishops who serve in @UKHouseofLords:

#Grenfell - many people who lost loved ones, and who survived, tell me they are still waiting for justice 5 years on

Deportation of asylum seekers should shame us as a nation.

He thinks we should suffer the stereotypes; they think we should suffer the surgery.

Feminists believe we shouldn’t suffer either."
