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.

"New Labour took 14 years and billions of pounds worth of policies to lift half a million children out of poverty. Keir Starmer could do the same overnight with one policy costing just a fraction of that." NEF's @maxmosley.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk calling for removal of the two-child benefit cap.
