Sadly, another year when @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social reads the list of women killed by men. Tragic BUT Jess now taking real tangible actions to reduce this number. No one has more passion for this challenge.

Stop telling me to ‘celebrate’ #iwd2025 when we are facing an uphill struggle to win the argument for equality even though it’s the key to economic growth. It’s like telling me to smile because I am gritting my teeth for the road ahead- this video is for all who feel the backlash and do it anyways …

Every woman I know has a scary story about a man, from my mother, through my sisters, to my partner. That's not even counting my female friends.
The stories aren't mine to tell, but they're there.
And I've got news, guys. These aren't imaginary men, from a land far away. It's us.

"Not every single woman has a scary story about a man" Yes they do. I promise you that they do.

A long but worthwhile day today. A patient information event of talks and Q & A sessions facilitated by Scoliosis Support & Research in Nottingham. It meant driving for 2 hours up the hellscape that is the current state of the M1. On the plus side, lunch was provided - and lots of coffee!
