Pleased to see the launch of the new domestic abuse protection notices and domestic abuse protection orders - hope to see these rolled out nationally soon www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Pleased to see @labouruk.bsky.social approaching spiking prevention by targeting perpetrators. So much spiking prevention focusses on ‘keeping safe’. This is a step towards stopping it happening in the first place. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Marking this year’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women with my colleague @emilyclarkebristol.bsky.social VAWG is a national (and global) emergency and needs urgent action. www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...

Violence against women and girls is a national emergency. We need to keep talking about it and we won’t stop until every woman and girl in Bristol and beyond can live their life free from the threat of violence and abuse. www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance 🏳️‍⚧️ #TDoR Around the world too many lives are lost every year to violence against trans people. So today we honour the memories of those who have been lost.

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵

The hypocrisy of saying Labour should do more to tax the very wealthy and then opposing measures to tax the wealthy 🤷

On farmers and inheritance tax: it will generally only impact farms worth over £3 million and where inheritance tax is payable, all farmers will still pay less inheritance tax than the rest of society
