Janice said: “When you write about really difficult and toxic subjects it really helps to have your newspaper behind you and I just want to thank the Times... who have been completely behind me in dealing with something that is complicated. I have a privilege in being able to write about this difficult subject, which is not something women in universities have at the moment, and I urge that we debate this more thoroughly and freely.”

congratulations.

There are a lot of powerful GC people out there

Very pleased to read this, well done Janice it’s thoroughly deserved.

Apologies. Having pressed refresh, I see I had the wrong awards.

Excellent news. Janice has consistently reported this emerging scandal and she and the other excellent Times journalists have been at the forefront of blowing the lid off #nodebate.

Well done Janice!

Did Janice sue that individual for those lies?

Richly deserved,so very very pleased for Janice

Excellent!

Excellent news! Well done, Janice.

Congratulations, Ms Turner! The prize was well-deserved. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations Janice. Well deserved.

Brilliant. Janice wins my nomination for Mumsnet woman of the year. Thank you Janice

Janice has been there from the off, her interview with Maria Miller in 2016 was ace.

this is so well deserved

for Janice (I expect she had all the she needed last night!)

That's great news. Well done Janice and well done The Times for backing her up. Watch and learn, The Guardian, watch and learn.

@MNHQ could there be a webchat?

Well done Janice.

Oh yes @MNHQ a webchat would be an amazing idea

I think she is very brave and has written clearly and truthfully on this.
The Monitors HATE that she couldn't be silenced. They are all over twitter flapping and shrieking. Usual suspects.

I've started a thread in site stuff (is that how you suggest a web chat?)

Just in case Janice is reading this.

Ian Huntley now identifying as a woman called Nicola (his victim's mother).

A poster has suggested:

Why isn’t a journalist speaking to women in prison and ex inmates about their experiences with TW in prison?

Because this madness has to stop.

Well done to Janice Turner.
Does she have her column on a particular day of the week, in which case I might be tempted to buy the paper on that day?

On a separate note this thread made me look up Melanie Philips, who seems to have positioned herself as the quasi- intellectual cousin of Katie Hopkins. What an awful person, I'm disappointed and surprised to see that she is married to Joshua Rosenberg ( or rather, that he is married to her).

I came on here to say about her winning the award and see I was beaten to it. Congratulations Janice! (flowers)
