I’ve made tackling violence against women and girls a top priority.
I joined Sir Mark Rowley in the Met’s Forensic Crime Lab HQ to see revolutionary new technology, backed by support from City Hall, that makes it easier to visualise bruising on victims of violence.

In London, you don’t just find stability and certainty.
You find a city which stands strong as a bastion against hate.
And a city which shines bright as a beacon of hope, progress and possibility.

All those apologists for Starmer? You can do one.
If you thought the PM’s speech was punchy, his foreword to the immigration white paper says high net migration has done “incalculable damage” to the country.
That is a serious shift in tone for a Labour government/party.

It’s worth recalling *who McSweeney is*. He was Labour’s millionaire bribes-solicitation officer, and he fought for years to wrest his party back from a member-funded model to one that is wholly dependent on massive bungs from private donors. By any means necessary.
