There is no one like @Malriel - she has fought for the Primodos families for decades now. If you want to know why they deserve justice, watch our two documentaries about it, on Sky: ‘Bitter Pill: Primodos’ and ‘Primodos: The Secret Drug Scandal.’ @JasonFarrellSky @TSculthorp

I am so proud to have the support of Marie Lyon, Makerfield resident and indomitable Primodos campaigner.
I will support her and all the families affected until they get justice.

A woman in her 80s has been found dead and a 36 yr old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. It’s a grim reminder that male violence doesn’t stop when women get older. There is no age at which women become immune to the threat posed by violent men. news.sky.com/story/murder-in…

Very proud to be part of this film on the state of maternity services in the UK
The number of women dying in childbirth is going UP. An unbelievable and shameful reality.
But we tried to be balanced - talking to mums AND staff - reflecting those who had positive experiences too

It’s actually infuriating and heartbreaking to watch. In 1982 a documentary aired that was meant to change police behaviour towards rape victims it was considered so shocking. But NOTHING of substance changed. How much longer must we suffer this torture? bbc.co.uk/news/av/stories-57…

Not one single officer held to account over their behaviour. But the Chief Constable did get a knighthood. So that’s okay then.
Following a Sky News investigation, Greater Manchester Police has unveiled its new custody suite to show how officers will no longer need to conduct strip searches.

On Friday night, we got a bizarre legal threat from Shabana Mahmood's special advisor: if we didn't agree to pull our planned story by 9pm, we would face a high court injunction.
I suspect he thought he could bully @brumdispatch because it's a local publication. He was wrong!

Sarajevo safari hunters ‘competed to kill prettiest women.” An author claims that wealthy Europeans, including Britons, paid premiums to shoot at younger or pregnant women trapped in the Bosnian city in the 1990s.
Beyond horrific.

“They were conceived naturally, grown together in the same womb, to the same mother within minutes of each other - but they are half-sisters.” Dislike the term “half-sisters”. If you’re reared together, know each other in THAT way - you’re just sisters.🤷🏾♀️ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx21….

He repeatedly told her she was a “fucking Muslim bitch” during the attack…he made reference to his whiteness and Britishness as he raped her, slapping and punching her and saying: “I am the master.” Master of your prison cell now. Good. #throwawaythekey theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

NEW: Police Scotland say a 38 year old prisoner has been arrested and charged after a sexual assault on a woman within HMP Greenock.
@SkyNews understands the alleged offender is a transgender inmate who was born male & now identifies as female.

Civil Defence crews were finally able to access the site where Leb journalist Amal Khalil was trapped under rubble but only hours later. They retrieved her body. Her newspaper Al Akbar has put out a video tribute. Lebanon’s Minister of Information condemned the incident describing the targeting of journalists as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and calling for international action.

Survivors of a grooming in gang in Hull have been let down for a 2nd time. Our reports about it in 2021 led to Humberside Police reopening their investigation - the women have now been told that has been closed too - without them receiving any justice news.sky.com/story/justice-i…
