I'm really gratefrul to Katie for sharing our story of sisterhood. Violent men, like my ex-husband, so often use divide & conquer tactics to maintain their abuse. We fought against that and he is now in prison. ✊🏼💪🏽💗

Today in @thetimes, I spoke to the inspiring Natalie Collins: “I knew my ex-husband was a rapist, so I helped his new wife convict him” thetimes.co.uk/article/bd2fe8…

We are deeply concerned that reports name harassment, not stalking. #Stalking is repeated, fixated, obsessive & unwanted behaviour that cause alarm & distress. Failure to recognise the severity of stalking can be devastating for the victim. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/o…


Deeply concerning stuff coming from Tories. Along with this, just today ministerial lies about a 'meat tax' and conspiracy theories about enforced '15 minute cities'. It's desperate, depressing and dangerous.

Wow that is absolutely foul. Khan has been nothing but supportive of the Jewish community.



Worse with every day that passes...

Exclusive: Rishi Sunak expected to set out a 'Plan for Motorists' on Monday that would limit councils' powers in areas including 20mph speed limits, bus lanes, and enforcing road infractions with number plate-recognising cameras. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

The murder of this little girl in Croydon is heavy on my mind. We have a huge problem with how we’re raising boys to men in our society. Women have been saying this for years, and each time one of them dies at the hands of a man, we have an uproar only to go backwards soon after


Was so fortunate to see the final show yesterday. What an wonderful, innovative, creative project. Loved the soloists engaging with the dancers, & the choir's movement. Very excited it's been filmed for TV.



"“Why didn’t they report?” say people who are exactly why they don’t report: because of people like them looking to attack and discredit victims when they do." Russell Brand is a familiar story | Rebecca Solnit theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Enjoying the Sidekick Simon vibes here @AccidentalP

In local news, police were alerted to a “mass killing”, only for for it to be people lying down in a yoga class

The desperately sad thing is there's little to no hope that things will get any better. Everything we hear from both major parties is utterly depressing. It feels like there's a blithe acceptance that poor people will and probably should remain poor and that's just a fact of life

Depressing but not remotely surprising. "It may be harder now than at any point in over half a century to move up if you are born in a position of disadvantage" theguardian.com/society/2023/s…



Really does make those early statements minimising & distancing allegations seem so rotten. Genuinely questionable whether things would have reached this point / scale without the immense bravery of those who came forward & external pressure from those who wouldn't let it drop.

Powerful and honest. And very well delivered by Jamie Darroch 👏 👏 👏

Earlier this year, Clydebank defender Jamie Darroch’s life was directly impacted by suicide. This World Suicide Prevention Week, JD opens up on his experience in the hope other families don’t have to go through something similar. This is his story.

A really interesting and timely project to coordinate for @ChurchTimes 🤖

Great AI Special in this week's @ChurchTimes - thought-provoking articles from @seatrout @BVLSingler and others, and an excerpt from my book #RobotSouls churchtimes.co.uk/comment



What a mess. Groundbreaking AI was "just a bunch of Excel spreadsheets with some decision trees written by junior doctors".

Babylon Health collapsed last night. I used to work there - it was my first industry job in healthtech 7 years ago. I left after 12 months, frustrated, disillusioned and wanting to do healthtech properly. What went wrong?... techcrunch.com/2023/08/31/the…



This will be such a great event at @Yourallypally in October

This is as good and as heartbreaking as everyone is saying. And there are hundreds of schools like this around the country. When I say that schools have become the provider of last resort + that we have a crisis of vulnerable children this is what I mean.

A year ago, I started following how the cost of living crisis was playing out at an Oldham school, checking in with the fantastic @NewmanRC_Head every few weeks. I ended up learning a lot about the British state, and its education system, to boot. on.ft.com/3KYWPWv
