Slags”, “sluts”, “psychos” and “bitches” are just some of the terms that current BBC presenter Ashley Cain has used to describe women on his social media accounts.
At a time when violence against women and girls is rightly recognised as a national emergency, the BBC's decision to hire and promote Mr. Cain is shocking.
Me and Marie Goldman MP have demanded the BBC Director General launches an investigation into how Mr Cain was hired and overhaul the vetting processes that allowed this oversight.

Great discussion this morning on @BBCPoliticsWest with Wiltshire council conservative leader Richard Clewer and Jim Robbins, leader of Swindon Borough Council on budgets, potholes, fly tipping and the recent by-election.

Really pleased with our committee report on how the government can deliver the housing we need while protecting and enhancing the environment.
Nature is not the blocker to 1.5 million homes, instead it’s a necessity for building resilient towns and neighbourhoods.

Local farmers and the NFU I met with on Thursday highlighted the importance of food security and quality of food for the health of the nation. Our family farmers need all our support.
Farage wants you to eat chlorinated chicken just so he can keep licking the boots of his idol Donald Trump.
It's so pathetic and unpatriotic.
ALT Headline from the Independent. Farmers furious as Farage admits he would allow chlorine-washed chicken to be sold in the UK as part of Trump trade deal

Callum Miller MP Superbly putting the case for closer ties with our largest trading partner
"The European Union is on our doorstep. We do 40% of our trade with them. That's this opportunity we should be taking in the country.
"And that's all the more important when Donald Trump is threatening us from the other side of the Atlantic.

This has been desperately awaited by so many. I hope it brings immediate relief to them after so much suffering.
But this is the moment to push ahead, not rest on this achievement. We need sustained effort to create the conditions for this to be the start of an enduring peace.
The announcement of a ceasefire is, at last, a moment of hope after many months of darkness and despair for the region.
ALT The announcement of a ceasefire is, at last, a moment of hope after many months of darkness and despair for the region. As this ceasefire comes into effect, Palestinians will hope that the killing will now stop. Israeli hostages will finally be returned to their loved ones again after being held in captivity for fifteen months. The work of flooding Gaza with the aid which it has desperately needed for months must begin in earnest. Now, it is incumbent on the UK and the entire international community to do all it can to ensure that this ceasefire does not turn out to be a temporary truce. Otherwise we will not be able to get the remaining hostages home and finally alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. We must look back on this moment as the first step on the road to a lasting peace. That two-state solution - with a recognised Palestinian state based on 1967 borders - is the only way to deliver the dignity and security which Israelis and Palestinians deserve.

The botched Brexit deal robbed young people of so many opportunities. It's time to fix that and reset our relationship with Europe.

Musk’s comments on grooming gangs grabs attention for him, not the survivors of this horrific abuse.
Free speech means that people without a voice can speak truth to power: it has never meant that the rich&powerful can say whatever they want,however ill informed, with impunity.

People have had enough of Elon Musk interfering with our country’s democracy when he clearly knows nothing about Britain.
It’s time to summon the US ambassador to ask why an incoming US official is suggesting the UK government should be overthrown.

"The idea that somehow 'women asked for it' has been buried - maybe forever."
If a woman had found a man in the unconscious state that Gisele Pelicot was in, she would call an ambulance and 'would not consider' raping him, @RachelSJohnson says, reflecting on the landmark case.

As part of the Environment Audit Committee I will continue to press for more to be done to improve water quality
We've written to Environment Secretary @SteveReedMP following findings by the @OfficeforEP that @DefraGovUK, the @EnvAgency and @Ofwat had failed to comply with environmental law in relation to regulatory oversight of untreated sewage discharges.

MPs have backed Sarah Olney’s bill on proportional representation. This is a historic moment in the campaign for a fairer voting system.
Today, as we have done for a century, Liberal Democrats are leading the fight for fair votes and making sure that no one can be ignored in our democracy.

Storm Bert has devastated communities across our country.
Therefore I am incredibly concerned about the Government's decision to cut DEFRA's budget by 2%, and the impact this will have on flood-hit areas.
In Parliament last night I urged the Environment Secretary to think again

Pleased that the minister accepted my invitation and came to see for herself the devastation caused by flooding in Chippenham. I've asked her when and how funding will be allocated to support those affected.
Storm Bert has hit communities hard.
Floods Minister Emma Hardy visited Chippenham to meet affected residents and @envagency responders.

GPs are among the small businesses with no margin to absorb the increase in taxes, many will throw in the towel.
NHS dentists and other health and care providers must be exempted from the Chancellor's tax increase.
Without reversing the hike, the government's plan to rescue our health service is a plan in name only.
