“It actually doesn’t matter.”
That’s Richard Tice’s response when asked about the court’s findings on Reform MP James McMurdock’s assault.
Tice sides with McMurdock’s version, dismissing the court’s judgement. By defending him, Tice undermines justice and harms victims. It’s about accountability.

'It doesn't matter': Reform deputy dismisses court records that say MP kicked his girlfriend
Richard Tice says he does not believe James McMurdock, who was convicted of assaulting his then girlfriend in 2006, should not be "doomed as sinner forever" because the UK is a "Christian" country.

#LaraFeigel shows us why change is needed in family courts. Things many survivors face in private family law proceedings are often unable to be shared publicly.

Lady Hale in 1999: ‘The most troubling aspect of my perception is that some women are being pursued and oppressed by controlling or vengeful men with the full support of the system.’ 25 years later it's even worse, via the 'parental alienation' belief system. Legislation & accountability is needed.
