Hi @MetroUK , any chance you could not refer to a man that sexually abused a 14 year old girl as ‘affair’. Just so you know at 14 its non-consensual sex and abuse. Be great to read the real headlines and not this victim blaming crap. Thanks #BreakTheSilence

How do you put into words the abhorrence of this tweet🤢🤢🤢. Sure its Laurence Fox, but even he must see how disgusting this is. One MUST expect a 0% allegation rate regardless of how many women any man has sex with. My brain can't fathom how one comes up with this as a tweet?!?

In all the #Dispatches fall out, remember that 1 in 4 of your female friends and 1 in 6 of your male friends will be survivors, maybe they never said anything but they’re survivors. They’ll see and hear everything you say and comments about sexual abuse. Please remember that.

“We’ve been ‘TERFing’ and it’s been such fun” It’s clear that for many ‘gender critical’ transphobes, being a transphobic bigot is just a recreational activity! 😣 These heartless transphobes clearly have no life outside of their obsessive bigoted campaigning!

I had to say something to all the @bbceastenders fans out in TV land, last nights episode was amazing and the response has blown my mind! I've arrived into the @SurvivorsMcr to a number of requests by male survivors for help! This is what it's about, telling stories to inspire!

Despite the “soaps shouldn’t show these sort of stories”, I’m incredibly proud to have worked with @bbceastenders shape scripts, worked with @MaxBowden and @Aidan_OCalla and @coilinoscolai on this and helped develop the narrative surrounding the conversation on consent in this.

Tonight's @bbceastenders may be a difficult one to watch for so many, but it HAS to be told. We are so proud of @Aidan_OCalla and @MaxBowden for the commitment they have put into this story along with all those behind the scenes, including the super talented @coilinoscolai

@JasonReidUK I don't know about you Jason, but hearing her say this "innumerable" bollocks gives me the same eye rolls as in the 90s people would say "I'm not homophobic, I mean some of my best friends are gay, I love gays".

Just remember Tony Wilson’s now famous comment that “this is Manchester, we do things differently here” having just left the first Gender Based Violence board with a group of amazing leaders who are committed to change #Inspired and thanks all @AndyBurnhamGM @DeputyMayorofGM

Thanks @MaxBowden - This @bbceastenders storyline should have picked up EVERY GONG going this awards season as you and @Aidan_OCalla told a story that hasn't been told before but is the experience of so many that access @SurvivorsMcr - Take it from me, your work has saved lives!

We're nearly 15 years old (5th February will be our 15th Birthday) and we have never had @TNLUK funding before which surprises everyone. So I'm over the bloody moon that we have been awarded this £203,937 over three years to further expand our hub and spoke model! #Charity
