Announcements today on the removal of police officers who commit VAWG offences and stronger mandatory vetting standards look positive.
These are measures I have long called for to root out DA perps.
Look forward to seeing full detail in the police reform white paper next week.

No one should have to worry about their photos being deepfaked.
Tech companies must be held accountable for enabling and profiting from this abuse.
Ofcom’s violence against women and girls guidance must be made a mandatory code of practice, with consequences for non-compliance.
ALT One year ago today, the government announced it would make deepfake abuse an offence. But this has still not in been brought into force.
ALT While we wait: Grok (X’s AI bot) is nudifying women’s photos without their consent 96% of all deepfakes found online are pornographic, and 99.9% of these are of women Deepfake abuse has a long-lasting, traumatic impact on victims. It is a violation of our rights and restricts our freedoms
ALT Billion-dollar tech companies are enabling and profiting from this abuse. They must be held accountable. Currently, tech platforms can choose whether or not to follow guidelines for tackling violence against women online. This must be made mandatory, with consequences for those that don’t comply.
ALT End Violence Against Women

Yesterday, the government published its VAWG Strategy. While I welcome the ambition it sets out, the level of investment to achieve this falls seriously short.

Violence against women and girls is a national emergency.
We're introducing dedicated referral services in every part of the country and trauma-informed care for children.
These changes will make sure victims and survivors receive the reliable support and specialist care they need.
