It’s been 4 years since Sarah Everard was abducted, raped, and murdered as she walked home. It was a crime that brought the issue of male violence against women to the forefront of public discussion. Yet, 4 years later we’re still as unsafe as ever.

PhD student drugged & raped at least 10 women—one of the worst sexual predators of our time. But he wasn’t a monster. He was an ordinary man. Like Pelicot, who drugged & raped his own wife for years, Zou isn’t an outlier. Men like him aren’t rare—they’re hiding in plain sight.

The insistence that autism and ADHD are 'overdiagnosed' is incredibly sinister when you consider the fact that entire populations - women, people of colour - have historically been denied access to those diagnoses and the increase in numbers is partly due to making up that gap.

I was chatting with a friend, a woman in her fifties, and her doctor told her there's no point seeking an autism diagnosis because it's a seven to ten year waiting list. But please tell me more about 'overdiagnosis' and how they're just handing out diagnoses these days.

Do you know how hard it is for CPS to take a case through to criminal court? They only bring charges on 2-3% of cases in the UK (which is a total failure, btw) Brand has been charged in four separate cases.

cannot believe we used to be beacon of progressive LGBT rights in the early 21st Century: Introducing GRCs Civil Partnerhsips Equal Adoption Rights Equality Act itself Equal Marriage what deeply depressing and regressive nation we have become

It bears repeating today: the women celebrating the UK supreme court ruling do not speak for me. History shows that the rights of women and the rights of trans people will rise and fall together. My safety as a cis woman will never spring from the persecution of trans women.

We’re horrified by Nigel Farage’s comments suggesting there’s a “massive overdiagnosis” of children with SEND and mental health needs. What he said is not only wrong, it’s deeply damaging - and the reality is the complete opposite of the picture he painted.

Farage says ADHD/autism is overdiagnosed? NHS data shows waits up to 5.5 yrs in Devon for autism & 10 yrs in Herefordshire for ADHD assessments. Hardly a rush to diagnose when people wait a decade for specialist review!

🧵Devon + Cornwall Police failed Claire Chick. And it cost her life. Claire was a loving mum + grandma + a popular Plymouth Uni lecturer. She reported her ex-husband to police 6 times + said: “I feel he will kill me.” In Jan 2025, he did. He got a 27 year sentence yesterday.💔
