Let's close the loophole that means some abusers are convicted of offences that don't specify the nature of their crimes.
I've presented a bill in Parliament and gone on @GMB to launch the #NameDA campaign publicly.

'So many victims and survivors are being let down by the law'
Liberal Democrat MP @JoshBabarinde has presented a bill advocating for ‘Domestic’ to be added as an aggravating factor in assault cases.
He says the current law allows for loopholes.
At Merton full Council tonight Merton Lib Dems are calling on Merton to become London’s first ‘Healthy Weight Borough’ following a concerning rise in childhood obesity.
Tonight Liberal Democrat councillors are proposing action to support residents in claiming benefits they are entitled to. An estimated £118m goes unclaimed in our borough - given the cost of living crisis, this can't be left to carry on

Our vision is of a competent Council that would end the postcode punishment on Raynes Park and Wimbledon of the current parking regime
Merton should better align its parking permit charging structure with its stated aims to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality
We want a more compassionate Merton Council - we can't kick the can down the road waiting for central government to help our schools.
We can do so here TODAY!
Incredible.
Labour vote AGAINST providing toilet facilities at all playing fields despite wishing to be known as the Borough of Sport.
Why? !
What happened to Civic Pride? None on show tonight.

As tonight’s full Council meeting gets underway we will be asking Council to support our proposals on a sustainable future, on vaping in Merton’s schools and demanding a fair deal for those in need of temporary housing.
I waited for the video before commenting, but this (and your excuse) is pretty unedifying @S_Hammond🤦♂️
You already earn more from your private clients than as an MP. Do you really have time, in a cost of living crisis, for yet another job that does nothing for our constituents?

Slightly bizarre that in a debate about taking action on the cost of living crisis (that included only one action - a welcome summit of voluntary organisations), Labour Council bosses voted down looking at whether there were ways to give schools more support
This a damning moment for Boris Johnson. There can be no more lame excuses from Conservative MPs.
Stephen Hammond - @S_Hammond - It is time to sack Boris Johnson. Here is the letter of no confidence, all you have to do is sign it
Yesterday, just two hours into officially being an MP, I asked the Prime Minister about the dire state of ambulance services
Though he turned down my call for a full review into services, I was elected to stand up for our local health services and I'll continue to do just that!
Tonight's Council meeting is on funding in schools. At our request the Council has set out its strategy for managing the fall in pupil places - it currently doesn't include working to keep class sizes down ...
