I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.
The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.
Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Unforgiveable by Jimmy Mcgovern is, as you would imagine, a difficult and gripping watch. It explores the devastating aftermath of an act of abuse perpetrated by a member of the family. On iplayer now.

The Prime Minister must act with immediate airdrops of much-needed aid into Gaza and get other countries to do the same.
It is simply inhumane that Gaza faces starvation due to Israel’s aid blockade. Words alone won’t save lives.

I think Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissents are an important exception to the "Supreme Court dissents don't matter" rule of thumb, because she is using them not to argue with the conservative justices, but to explain to the public that the conservative justices are liars and in the tank for Trump
