As the amber heat-health alert continues, I’m urging Londoners to follow UKHSA advice. Stay safe in the heat and look out for those who may be more vulnerable.

Eradicating violence against women and girls is everyone's business. As part of the #16DaysofActivism, MOPAC brought partners together at City Hall to share the latest evaluations and best practice on what works in changing the behaviour of perpetrators of VAWG.

Every woman and girl deserves to feel safe in our city. That’s why we have invested £233 million to stop perpetrators and expand support for survivors, but there’s still more to do. Together, we can build a city that's safe for everyone.

I never watched the #PrinceAndrew (as he was then) interview, the clips were just too nauseating. This is clearly good news but it shouldn't be the end - despite his minimising and denials, he and all the other perpetrators need to be held to account.

Sunday saw the first event of the #VAWGTakeover at the #LabourPartyConference - a reception which heard from some of the CEOs from the charity coalition. Speakers called for clarity on the delayed VAWG Strategy, parity on funding & the need to ensure meaningful inclusion of by & for organisations.
