80 new rape courts

"in unused rooms and spare capacity within every existing crown court"

I thought the line was that the courts are really stretched. Are they stretched or are they sitting about nothing doing?

Isn't there also pretty much already a specialist unit in all forces from Operation Soteria? www.npcc.police.uk/our-work/violence-against-women-and-girls/operation-soteria/

“Halve violence against women and girls”.

It’s a lovely thought but this is just pie in the sky. How on earth does he think he can achieve this?

“Halve violence against women and girls”. Has Starmer finally worked out what a woman is? Does he recognise which sex is responsible for the vast majority of violence against women and girls?

Are they going to stop making victimised women call their male rapists “she” and “her”? Are women going to be proactively offered female only staff in these units?

Where in the prison estate are they going to put trans identifying male rapists?

Are they going to stop using gender when sex should be used?

How about making sure single sex spaces and services are single sex?

I would love to be able to vote Labour but until they get their act together on Women’s issues it’s not going to happen.
