I think that if Caroline wanted to sue Hope, she would get lots of support. It is utterly disgusting that disagreement in a branch meeting is being likened to serious sexual assault. This is not a game. https://t.co/JVtnIs...

The @scotlibdems voted against including sex in the #HateCrimeBill, they voted against the #sixwords amendment to allow victims to choose the sex of their medical examiner. How is @willie_rennie defining "women and girls"? https://t.co/hmqXfc...

Thank you, @fairplaywomen. It beggars belief that the NRS refused to entertain the recommendations of the committee and ignored realms of evidence from experts. There is serious issue with policy capture in institutions which is harming women and ...
