This is first conviction using misogyny as hate crime - what he did was already a crime but now he will get a more serious sentence. Minimising his behaviour underlines why we fought for this as she must have been terrified. Ask for a kiss? He grabbed her hair and refused to take no for an answer.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents. I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights. sianberry.org.uk/publications/l…

I’m autistic and ADHD. It’s not a disease, its not a condition, it’s not a privilege, it’s not a curse. It is an identity in itself and it is who I am. It cannot be caused or cured with paracetamol anymore than any other human identity. I am only disabled when I am discriminated against.
