That an independent chair of the Mayor’s Violence Against Women & Girls Board of Joan Smith’s calibre was brought in by a Tory mayoral administration and dumped under a Labour one is further evidence that Labour really do not prioritise women’s issues including men’s VAWG. https://t.co/34xLO5uHNG

This is outrageous. @polblonde is THE expert on violence against women – literally wrote the book on it. Dispensing with her services is a huge signal that women’s rights are dispensable when those women assert the reality of sex https://t.co/4sBH8FOrVJ
