Thank goodness for Claire! Both for her speech today and for defending Jane and Lisa. Some cowardly and craven little men have hidden behind Baroness Barker's comments to attack them tonight. They should all be ashamed. Thank you @Fox_Claire ...

So the Prof of sociology at @yorkuniversity has blocked rather than answer this and make his case. Laurie Taylor would never have been so craven. How are our institutions fallen? https://t.co/G5vmsY...

It is so refreshing to hear open conversation about women using clear, direct language. The House of Lords is really making the case for a second chamber to hold gov to account here. #MOMABill #MUMSTHEWORD https://t.co/sV0tjs...

This is disgraceful. Baroness Barker is claiming that women are lying about their needs and threats to safety. Yet she is lying and smearing good women because there is no other way for her to make her case. https://t.co/WQ7CWA...

Holyrood has tried a few times recently to make women less safe: GRA reform, Hate Crime, GRPBA. It was only thanks to @JohannLamont that #sixwords protection was carried. A certain man also leaked private convos of female MSPs exposing them to abuse ...
