    All Windrush victims to get at least £10,000. Good, because it is recognition of the extent Tories messed up, but just a token if your life has been destroyed

    1 in 4 of us will need blood at some point in our lives. Great news that the campaign group has been successful in securing changes, announced by the government this morning to move to an individualised risk-based blood donation policy.

    Good! Too many of these videos were of child abuse or sexual exploitation.

    Exclusive: Pornhub is removing all videos on its site that weren't uploaded by official content partners or members of its model program—meaning a significant portion of its videos will disappear.

    Great, thought Brexit was about U.K. taking back control - not giving it to a handful of men

    Odd one - just been in No10 briefing in which PM's spokesman repeatedly refused to guarantee MPs will get a vote on any Brexit deal. Instead said it's for Jacob Rees-Mogg to set out Commons business. Asked if the govt is not guaranteeing MPs will get a vote: "I didn’t say that"

    Exactly! As the potential exists, safeguarding should be build into every project.

    Replying to @ObjectUK @SarahChampionMP
    Why is it that when a group sets themselves up as 'saviours' of others, some always manage to sexually, physically or financially exploit the people they are supposed to be helping.

    Well done for speaking out. Of course there is a power imbalance between distributors and recipients of aid, making consensual sexual relationships impossible. They should be banned.

    It’s not me you need to speak to but some of the most vulnerable on the planet - and your donors. Explain to them why you don’t have zero tolerance of sexual relations between aid workers and beneficiaries because of the inherent power imbalance.

    Replying to @Sightsavers @SarahChampionMP @CommonsIDC
    We are absolutely committed to safeguarding our staff and beneficiaries, and have an extremely strong code of conduct. Our CEO would be very happy to speak with you to address any concerns if you’d like to DM us your details or email via info@sightsavers.org 3/3

    Hmmm, how would you know if it was exploitative? I would argue that it is virtually impossible for an aid worker & beneficiary to have a relationship without the very obvious power imbalance being an issue. Why take the risk? Instil zero tolerance of all sexual relations

    Replying to @Jay43100060 @ObjectUK @SarahChampionMP
    We'd like to reassure you that absolutely anyone from Sightsavers involved in any form of exploitative or abusive relationship with a beneficiary will be sacked. No ifs or buts. Our statement here directly addresses these concerns.
