Phillips says Starmer has done lots to tackle violence against women & girls & she has "kicked off" quite a lot over the issue

The reality: Starmer gave Mandelson a top govt job despite his relationship with a convicted paedophile & Phillips said nothing publicly at the time

For the past couple of weeks we’ve been working with limbless veterans through the charity Blesma making stained glass panels. One of our group Johnny has one arm so we’ve been working out how to do things that usually require two!
