They literally couldn’t be bothered to even show up to discuss the VAWG strategy today. bsky.app/profile/sara...
A grand total of 10 Conservatives (one woman) and 0 Reform present for a statement on the VAWG strategy.
Clearly protecting women and girls isn’t that much of a priority for them.

Either our media has amnesia or they’re just plain complicit in their elevation of Reform. Have they forgotten what happened with our last two populist right wing prime ministers? The chaos of Johnson. The disaster of Truss (praised by Farage). This lack of reporting is a menace
