        And this is why everytime the @UKLabour get voted out, the incoming @Conservatives get the stick for having to cut spending to balance the books. It's a historical pattern that keepa repeating. They can't help themselves.

        As this was launched at the “women’s conference” I would hope this would also count for male victims ?? Or just another sexist policy by the feminists ?

        Anyone injured or traumatised by #DomesticViolence will probably be signed off sick by their doctor in any case. So, they are already getting paid leave.
