It is shameful to vote against a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine and to condemn the vast majority of British Jews and Jews around the world as racist for supporting Israel’s right to exist.
The way that the Tories and Reform have approached this issue is all too often about political point-scoring. They’re not serious about taking the action that’s needed to protect women.
You can find more whitewash in this report than at your local B&Q. Nothing in it exonerates Reform or Nigel Farage from the serious allegations that they still face. They can’t run from the truth forever.
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.
