HUGE win for grassroots #Feminism –

A clear ruling that Women are a distinct group under the Equality Act.
Now the #EHRC & national gov'ts must step up for women, update guidance & align policy & practice with the law

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

Social care is gripped by underfunding & widespread vacancies. Vulnerable people cannot wait until 2028 for change.

Ahead of this year's Boxing Day hunts it's worth remembering that ‘Trail hunting’ is a wholly bogus concept that was carefully devised to allow the continuation of illegal fox hunting under the Hunting Act 2004.

With huge sadness I’m resigning as Vice President of RSPCA, a role I’ve held with pride for over 15 years. But their Assured Schemes risk misleading the public & legitimising cruelty. I tried with @ChrisGPackham to persuade the leadership to act but sadly failed
