Fantastic news if anyone hadn't seen it yet.

I hadn't seen this, thank you. It is brilliant news. Outrageous that it has been an acceptable excuse for murder for so long.

Fantastic news!

Oh wow that would be a good outcome. Fingers and toes crossed!

Excellent.

brilliant
surely it will go through

Good news at last. Doesn't address the fact it worked though. Disgusted that juries could think that level of violence could be consensual.

Wonderful news!

Fantastic!!!!

Surely they must review convictions or no further action decisions once this goes through.

It has cross party support and Jess Phillips has backed the government's approach.

This is excellent news, thank you for sharing

Fantastic

Yes they should relook at cases where this was used as a defence
