Sexual harassment is used as a political tool when women have no fair recourse. Complaints processes more interested in gathering kompromat than safeguarding women in politics are part of the problem #Dacorumwomen

Ditching Rennard to deflect from an abusive system that smothers women’s voices and wilfully ignores safeguarding.

.@LibDems announced they're removing whip from a peer over historic sexual harassment allegations. Today members received an email asking them to come forward with complaints re sexual assault saying "Our party handles complaints better today than it did in the past" Really? 1/4

Fact check @wendychambLD remarks to @CamillaTominey at #LDConf. 1st Wendy says the debate on women’s quotas wasn’t allowed bc the Party is waiting for EHRC guidance. Listen to Lucas shutdown women - EHRC isn't mentioned. 2nd says all Political Parties waiting on EHRC. Not right

Dr Zoe H @hollowood_zoe speaks the language of liberal women across the world. Orwellian distortions to detract from issues affecting women’s day-to-day lives are the reason we have Trump in the US. Wake up LD MPs before it’s too late - your silence leaches votes to Reform.

The Tory Party has been a runaway train for some years. A few of us have a sense of relief to have jumped free before it hits the buffers. But if it’s going to be replaced by the Farage Party, the country will be diminished. My ⁦@NewStatesman⁩ piece. newstatesman.com/politics/20…

The Conservative Party may not survive this election

A deepening identity crisis has left the Tories unable to appeal to either centrists or populists.

I would be really grateful if @guardian @ObserverUK & @TEDTalks made a comment on this ruling. Any comment. It has huge ramifications for UK journalism. And some basic solidarity from the organisations who published the work would go a long way. Thank you.

An incredible thread from an incredible person. It’s an uncomfortable truth but the only people who can address this is men. We must stand up & set the right example. We need to stop talking in a way that encourages & normalises a sexist & misogynistic attitude amongst our peers
Jez Fredenburgh@overthefarmgate14 Mar 2023
Folks. My twitter has been BUSY following my reply to a FW letter. Since I didn't intend to focus attention on me, but rather the issue of misogyny, it seems like a good opportunity to say a little more while I have the platform. And so, a thread...
