We need to talk about male violence - men killing women & children. Too many women & children have already been killed & it’s the start of a new year - Bruna Fonseca, Natalie McNally & Tausha Haight, her mother Gail Earl, & Tausha’s five children -
identified by family and friends as Macie (17), Briley (12), twins Ammon and Sienna (7), & Gavin (4). I can’t tell you whether these men thought it right to kill, but what I can tell you from 27 years of profiling cases is that they thought it was THEIR RIGHT.
We need to talk about this supercharged sense of entitlement and ownership men believe they have over women and children and stop saying it’s ‘senseless’ ‘tragic’ ‘gun violence’ ‘motiveless’ It’s not.

This progress is positive. The killer will most likely be known to Natalie, yes. BUT police saying he is not a risk to other women is utter nonsense. He murdered a woman who was pregnant. Of course he is a risk to other women 🚩 EVERY woman knows this. I really wish ImageImage
Men would stop saying ridiculous things like this & focus on what’s important. Appeal to those who know this man. Someone knows him. Listen to the Community intell. I’m hearing that a former partner was stalking Natalie. Do the house-to house, speak to those who knew Natalie &
those whom she confided in. Speak with her family, friends, check social media etc. There’s lots to do in the star burst of a murder. This man is a public protection risk 🚩 Any man who murders a woman is. Help find him. Perhaps you saw the man with the rucksack?

Can you help find Natalie McNally’s killer? Natalie was 15 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. She was stabbed to death in her home in Lurgan Northern Ireland on Sunday 18 December. This man carrying a rucksack arrived at Silverwood Green near Natalie’s home at 852pm.
He was seen leaving Silverwood Green at 930pm. @PoliceServiceNI are appealing for phone/video footage, CCTV, car dash-cam footage, photos, any information that can help find him. Also, there’s a golf course close to Natalie’s house which leads to the M1 Motorway.
Perhaps you saw the man with the rucksack around this time? Do you recognize his gait in the video? Or maybe you know someone locally who was acting strangely after Natalie’s murder. You can upload info anonymously here mipp.police.uk/operation/PSNI… or

Andrew Marr: "Is someone who thinks that only women have a cervix welcome in the Labor Party?"
Keir Starmer: "We need to have a mature, respectful debate about trans rights."
The question was about WOMEN.
Starmer continues: "Bear in mind that the trans community are among the most marginalised and abused communities."
We will *never* have the respectful, mature debate about trans rights that Starmer claims to want while politicians are unable even to utter the word 'woman'.
This is a women's rights issue - at stake is who should access women's rights, spaces, provisions and on what basis. Responding to questions about women with a lecture on trans oppression is the problem, not the solution. Thank you @AndrewMarr9 for pursuing this. #WomenMatter

If you elevate a collection of stereotypes about what women are and what women do over the universal experiences of female people, you will come up with nonsense like this⬇️about the ways race, gender and class interact.
I’d like to show you why #SexMatters here.
A thread:
Black women, Brown women, White women, disabled women, any kind of woman, and transwomen.

What is it they all have in common?

1.Humanity, ofc.

2.Human physiology, informing and affecting our human psychology.

3.A broad approximation of appearance - recognisably same species.
4.We are all a part of the sorting and structure of society.

Why am I talking about women?
Because men also exist.

What do women have in common with men?

All of the above.

It’s why, and how, we co-exist.

Have received information how one Gift Karichi has allegedly made moves to take over Hide Away Lodge& Fishing Camp in Zvimba which belongs to Kelly Foster, under the guise of Land Reform. It's pathetic how we have come to abuse this noble program.

The land reform is about agriculture how can Gvt parcel a 20 hectare tourist site with wedding venues&events gardens as agricultural land. This is suspect. The owner has invested& built these structure& someone is handed over all those things, for what? You can't farm there.
This is tourism land& I think the Minister was misinformed in gazetting it. Govt only compensates land not these kind of things. It's a clear show of underhand dealings. I will write a letter to the Minister over this. This is a blatant grab of someone's business investment.

The treatment of Rosie Duffield MP is deplorable. We applaud her courage in speaking out. @UKLabour says it wants more light and less heat but its actions don’t support this claim. This is a thread of some of our attempts to get Labour to listen this year.
In February 2020, we published this post about the failure of @UKLabour to respond to our formal complaint about behaviour by Labour Party members at our unofficial fringe in Brighton. Six months later we have had no response

This is the letter one of our co-founders @ruthserwotka wrote to Lisa Nandy when she made false and damaging allegations about us on the Radio 4 Today programme. We have had no response.

It would be too easy for your period to just sabotage your pelvic region. Way too easy. Because having female hormones often feels like being on a roller coaster from hell, your menstrual cycle can also wreak havoc on your boobs. Breast pain pre-period is extremely normal...
if not incredibly unfair. Here's everything you need to know about that fun time of the month when your breasts double in size and feel like they were pummeled by a power drill.

Why Your Breasts Feel Like Sandbags👇🏻
After ovulation — which happens about midway through your menstrual cycle, or two weeks after your period — the hormone progesterone starts to rise. Around day 21 of a standard, 28-day cycle, progesterone peaks, and as Rebecca Brightman, an ob-gyn in New York City explains,

@RLong_Bailey @Keir_Starmer @lisanandy @EmilyThornberry Labour Women's Declaration wrote to each of you at the launch of your leadership campaigns asking whether you were committed to upholding the Labour 2019 Manifesto pledge on sex based rights #ExpelMe #WomensVoicesMatter
Labour Women's Declaration also asked how each of you, as leader, would ensure women in the party were able to meet, organise & discuss matters of policy change & how any such changes might impact women' sex based rights, without fear of threat/intimidation #SexMatters #ExpelMe
Labour Women's Declaration notes that to date we have not heard back from any of you with regards to our questions on women's sex based rights. We do note that @RLong_Bailey & @lisanandy have been quick to act in signing up to Labour Campaign for Trans Rights. #WomensRightsMatter
