Re: Home Office guidance supposedly issued in 2008 advising police not to intervene in child grooming cases because victims had โmade an informed choice about their sexual behaviourโ? BBC Verify carried out extensive searches of HO guidance across that period & found no evidence

Davey Boy Saveloy Osita Mba Victoria Derbyshire mgad ๐๏ธ nazir afzal One of the first FOIs about this whole rumour Nazir Afzal had unwittingly spread about Home Office circular 017 / 2008 and "informed consent" came in 2018 whatdotheyknow.com/request/child_โฆ the response was nah, see for yourself + a link to the national archives whatdotheyknow.com/request/child_โฆ


Davey Boy Saveloy Osita Mba Victoria Derbyshire mgad ๐๏ธ nazir afzal The source in the FOI about Jacqui Smith's Home Office saying "We believe they have made an informed choice about their sexual behaviour" is a far right Islamophobic Pro-Brexit site Alt News Media which grabbed the rumour in Nov 2018 and ran with it altnewsmedia.net/general/the-inโฆ


Conclusive proof that the claims about a Home Office memo suggesting to police that children could make an informed choice about abuse were categorically wrong and unfounded. Now can we focus on the victims and action from all involved to protect children bbc.com/news/articles/โฆ


Weโve written to MPs with MSI Reproductive Choices, NUPAS & BSCAP urging support for NC1 to the Crime & Policing Bill. โ๏ธ End criminalisation now ๐ Reform abortion law for the future ๐ฉโโ๏ธ Deliver a new Abortion Act Abortion is healthcare โ not a crime. Ask your MP to support NC1.


Nigel Farage says abortion laws are โutterly ludicrous.โ and wants to cut back on a woman's right to decide how to plan her family MPs are watching. We have days to show them: the public backs protecting abortion rights. Join me and sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/decrโฆ

Robert Jenrick Out of interest, what would you suggest should be the consequences for a minister who unlawfully approves a planning application to help a party donor avoid ยฃ40m in tax?



โNine years on from Brexit, 56% Brits want to see the UK return to the EUโฆBrexit is on course to cut UK trade by 15%, the governmentโs independent financial watchdog has warned, despite Vote Leave campaigners arguing [lying] it would receive a boost.โ independent.co.uk/news/uk/politiโฆ


โThe public doesnโt like #Brexit . Has anyone told the media?โฆthe general public and newspaper readers are not the same thing. They never perfectly aligned, of course; but now the group that reads newspapers is a fraction of the public as a whole.โ newstatesman.com/politics/mediaโฆ
