Honoured to spend time with so many dedicated, talented women from the Rape Crisis network.
The passion to campaign to change attitudes to Violence Against Women and Girls is strong. We need prevention to be funded alongside survivor support. We will keep calling loudly for it

RT @EdConwaySky: You’ll have seen a lot of charts in the past few weeks.
But this one REALLY matters.
The mortgage burden - the % we spend on our repayments - is heading for the highest level since the late 80s.
Last time it hit these levels it preceded the biggest housing crash in modern history

RT @EdwardJDavey: The Conservatives have lost control of the economy.
Liz Truss is out of touch and doesn’t seem to care. The only way to solve this crisis is to get the Tories out of power.

My former colleague @abiralsahlani cuts her hair in European Parliament speech to show solidarity with the women of Iran.
RT @Ensemble_UE: 🇮🇷 Tant que les femmes iraniennes ne seront pas libres, nous les soutiendrons !
✂️ Geste extrêmement fort d’@abiralsahlani, députée de notre groupe @RenewEurope qui se coupe les cheveux dans l'hémicycle.

The nasty party is out in full force now
RT @Haggis_UK: Suella Braverman on benefits.
" I want to cut welfare spending. We have far too many people in this country who are fit to work, who are able to work... & they choose to top up their salaries with tax credits & the benefit street culture is a feature of modern Britain"

Interesting to read this after a morning discussing the pathologisation of mental health
RT @ahmedhankir: Hi 👋 NHS mental health doc here. Do you know which patients I am providing care to in A&E at 2am? People who are suicidal due to the soaring cost of living crisis. By worsening our financial health, the Government is worsening our nation's mental health. This can't continue.

Truss’ catastrophic first month summed up brilliantly by @BethRigby
How long before the coalition that is today’s Tory party completely disintegrates?

RT @SiOldridge: Just a reminder it’s cumulative CO2 emissions that count - not distant ‘net zero’ dates. Every tonne we emit makes things worse - permanently.
A responsible govt would have launched a national insulation program, and gone all out for cheap, fast, popular onshore wind.

But you haven’t listened to calls for a windfall tax. Will you listen to calls not to rule out a rise in benefits to match inflation?
Too little, too late. You should have listened before you sent markets into freefall and lost any shred of confidence anyone had in you and Truss
RT @KwasiKwarteng: We get it, and we have listened.

RT @tilly_mcauliffe: “We get it”. You presented a budget which put the country into free-fall & resulted in a bollocking from the IMF & an intervention by the BoE at a cost of £bs. The PM turned on you. No one can or will trust you going forward. Your credibility is shot. You really don’t “get it”

RT @EdwardJDavey: Liz Truss's failure to rule out public spending cuts means our treasured NHS could end up paying the price for her disastrous budget.
Conservative MPs must do their patriotic duty and vote down these unfunded tax cuts for big banks and billionaires

There is so much potential in this harbour for leisure and commercial activity, and the importance of recreational boating to the town must not be ignored.
