Bridget Phillipson: “If the Reform leader really has nothing to hide, he can come clean with the public today.”

I think we are seeing a weaponisation of violence against women and girls by parts of the right that I don't believe will challenge the attitudes that we're seeing, or will lead to women feeling safer – and that is my focus.

We live in a country where a woman is killed by her partner or former partner every five days.

Women's safety is a national emergency, but that has to mean all women, because you know we live in a country where a woman is killed by her partner or former partner every five days, and the safety of women is of the utmost importance.

Nothing in it exonerates Reform or Nigel Farage from the serious allegations that they still face.
