Six months into a Labour government, what do we have? On Sunday Wes Streeting said on LauraK that the cabinet was looking to implement recommendations and was actively working on it. the next day, the Home Secretary announces in the House that failing to report this type of offence will become a criminal offence and should hit the Statute Books this year. Positive action that even you should appreciate.

In my humble opinion, Cons and Reform should now STFU on this and back the government in their efforts to implement the Jay Recommendations. Once implemented, those measures should be monitored and amended when and where necessary.

Yesterday, Professor Jay said Cons/Reform should stop politicising it. A further inquiry (MA - which will take God alone knows how long and how much more money) isn't necessary. What is necessary is her recommendations getting implemented. I, for one, fully agree with her.

Another humble opinion of mine is that Prof Jay knows a damned sight more about this than TTR or anybody else on here, including me.
Well said MA. I was just about to write much the same but thankfully you beat me to it.

Tricky, climb down off your bandwagon. Labour have been in power for little more than half a year. The Tories had 14 years to address the problem and the likes of Jess Phillips know more about domestic/child abuse and have done more to help the victims than probably anyone else in Parliament. I don’t agree with everything she says but there is, thanks to Musk’s irresponsible messaging and ignorant sh1t stirring from the likes of you, an increasing possibility of her becoming the next Jo Cox.
