    The slight problem is that Wayne Couzens wasn’t pretending to be a police officer, he was an actual police officer

    This thread is a lovely tribute 💔

    gave me my first proper job after university. Early on, I was absolutely terrified we had forgotten to tell him about an urgent call from David Cameron's office. Couldn't have bothered him less 'don't worry about that, Edward'. I don't think he ever returned it. 1/6

    Most guys don’t look in the mirror & see a problem. But it’s staring us in the face. Sexual violence begins long before you think it does.

    Astonished to read that it has become “almost forbidden” to ask people if they are planning to have children. Perfect strangers seem to ask my partner and I this every other week.

    Women at one of Cambridge University’s colleges are to be taught that if they want a family, they should plan to start one by their mid-thirties or risk ending up childless

    🖤 So desperately sad to hear of the death of after his long battle against cancer. I shadowed him at Communities and Local Government. We were political opponents, but we were also good friends. He was one of the kindest and nicest people I’ve known. RIP friend.

    This really is incredibly sad. James Brokenshire was that rare thing in politics - a man who seemed to have little ego. He was always unfailingly polite and good humoured. 53 seems far too young.

    “At the moment I’ve got to tell you that the answer to that is no, I don’t think people have enough confidence in the criminal justice system” Significant admission by the PM to about justice for rape victims

    Q: PM if someone was to come & tell you that they’d been raped, would you as PM be able to look them in the face & say to them there’s a high chance of justice being done?
