To end domestic abuse we must address the root cause – the perpetrator. Until we have a comprehensive range of specialist perpetrator responses in every area, victims’ safety is at risk. Thread 👇 #DomesticAbuse

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, everything that led to the Holocaust is in danger of being forgotten. The Nazis channeled the demands of oligarchs, scapegoated minorities and replaced democracy with a new imperium. Those politics are returning. #NeverForget #NeverAgain

Word of the day is a favourite for this time of year. To be ‘crambazzled’, in old Yorkshire dialect, is to be prematurely aged by excess drinking or partying.
As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚
Reform MP James McMurdock, who claimed earlier this year he was jailed in 2006 for “pushing” his former partner, was in fact sentenced for “kicking the victim around four times,” according to court documents obtained by The Times. Men who beat women do NOT deserve a place in our Parliament.
