Dolly Alderton on the TV adaptation of her 2018 memoir Everything I Know About Love. Sue Biggs CBE on stepping down from her role at the RHS. New non-fatal strangulation law.Can platonic love survive romantic love as we grow up? Emma Barnett talks to to the writer Dolly Alderton about her new BBC TV series, an adaptation of her 2018 memoir ‘Everything I Know About Love’,
The Royal Horticultural Society is the UK’s largest gardening charity For the last 12 years Sue Biggs CBE has been its Director General She's been pivotal in creating and carrying out a huge investment programme. As she prepares to step down later this month she talks to Emma Barnett about her work over the last decade and her plans for the future.
The non-fatal strangulation law comes into effect tomorrow as part of the Domestic Abuse Act, following a successful campaign by groups such as the Centre for Women's Justice and cross-party MPs and peers. We discuss its significance and next steps with Nogah Ofer from the Centre for Women's Justice; and forensic physician Dr Catherine White, who is calling for specialist training for groups who work with victims of NFS.
KerryDaynes centreWJ We can't just keep waiting for victims to report their experiences before we act, and then only do so in a piecemeal fashion. We have to establish wide-spectrum systems to achieve the early-identification and registration of those revealing abusive behavioural tendencies.
centreWJ Thanks to Amber Heard people have now realised that the sisterhood and intersectionality have only one motivation...man-hate.
Emmabarnett DefenestrateJohnson
The_RHS well done her !
centreWJ DrProudman is misleading facts and testimony of DeppVsHeard You going to risk her libelous comments about Johnny Depp on your program? Just saying Adam Waldman is already coming back to UK for Amber. He could easily add you for defamation
Emmabarnett The point around 2'30' when she just gives up on her elocution training & reverts to petulant teenager...
Emmabarnett SuellaBraverman can’t wait to hear her position on breaching an international treaty Brexit gather government signed up too, I’m tripping over with anticipation
Emmabarnett Just shows you can study law, then ultimately choose which side you want to sit.
Emmabarnett “No one is shying away from that situation”…..apart from every Tory MP who ignores the anger of the public & parrots the “it’s time to move on” party line. Also, Braverman needs to have an ego check, her time isn’t “precious”.
Emmabarnett Johnson has denigrated the title of PM, likewise, she is denigrating the office of Attorney General. Boot her out ASAP!
Emmabarnett Thanks Emma for pushing
Emmabarnett Yes if he has a single brain cell
Emmabarnett She did not or pretended not understanding the heart of the question! Her role as the Attorney General is not important as far as concerned; rather, her unwavering sycophantic support for Johnson trumps everything!
Emmabarnett He has been compromised by his actions for many years, PutinsUsefulFool
Emmabarnett Says it all really.
Emmabarnett This defence alone should suffice to convince Tory MPs to vote BorisJohnson out.
Emmabarnett She’s one Attorney General who doesn’t know what’s right & what’s wrong.
Emmabarnett Suella Braverman is another one who has sold their soul and abandoned all integrity & self respect. Just shameful.
Emmabarnett People selling their souls to support this guy 🤔
Emmabarnett SuellaBraverman is an anti-attorney general.
Emmabarnett How great was Emma in this interview! Brilliant!
Emmabarnett She needs to go as well, in fact most of the ministers do they are all covering for a PM who broke the law and the ministerial code. An utter disgrace the lot of them. I hope enough conservative MPs do the right thing for this country and our democracy this evening BJ must go!
centreWJ hmm
Emmabarnett Loyal to a fault .. literally.
Emmabarnett Cheers Emma. Just be your Rottweiler self. Always. Just an opinion, but strong, intelligent women are the hottest 🥰🔥🙌🙌🙌
Emmabarnett It's very sad that she seems to have abandoned the legal ethical principles of independence & integrity behind her which underpin her profession.
Emmabarnett Notice she said 'fulsome'. Perhaps she should look ity up. adjective. adjective. - (disapproving) too generous in praising or thanking someone, or in saying that you are sorry, so that you do not sound sincere a fulsome apology.
Emmabarnett A Fulsome apology
Emmabarnett SuellaBraverman what an earth?!? Aren’t you Attorney General? Where is your position on the law and the ministerial code? You cannot defend this surely.
Emmabarnett Repeat the briefing...again and again and again.
Emmabarnett This is a great question from Emmabarnett on to the Attorney General. If this is who BorisJohnson relies on for legal advice it is no wonder he has got in a tangle over honesty integrity service and leadership! NolanPrinciples MinisterialCode
Emmabarnett SuellaBraverman U want to ignore British Law being broken & Parliament being lied to, interview with Emmabarnett epitomises immoral bubble at HofC. U should have political integrity & honesty as Att. Gen., listen to it again, have u brought your office in to disrepute?
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett He is not successful by any metric, this is ridiculous from the Attorney General
Emmabarnett SuellaBraverman what a trite, rehearsed response to serious questions. Your arrogance doesn't allow you to see the damage Johnson had done.. he's laughed in the face of bereaved families and you are supporting him to do so..shame on you
Emmabarnett She is totally unfit to be AG UKLawSociety
Emmabarnett SuellaBraverman truly is useless at her job. Just useless. When Boris is gone so will all of his zero performing cabinet
Emmabarnett No respect whatsoever for the law. No self-respecting law firm should ever instruct this shameless woman again. This should be her last legal role.
Emmabarnett She has to go. Totally unacceptable
Emmabarnett Well done Emmabarnett …. You could be forgiven for thinking SuellaBraverman had no interest in breaches of law🤦♂️keep on keeping on.. you & vicderbyshire prove the BBC still has balls when it comes to holding HMG to account👏👏👏👏more of the same please 🙏
Emmabarnett Apparently Senior Conservative Party source close to the PM says the public wants to move on from Partygate: “Is there anyone here who hasn’t got pissed in their lives? Is there anyone who hasn’t had a drink to relax? Doesn’t feel like Johnson is sorry about anything
Emmabarnett The media training is seeping from her ours here. Completely on script. Do any of these ppl ever have an original thought?
Emmabarnett SuellaBraverman Well done Emma! BorisJohnsonMustResign
Emmabarnett
Emmabarnett Absolutely shameless from AG.
Emmabarnett Braverman is a disgrace to the role of Attorney General, an aberrational, perverse choice and an international laughing stock. Rule Britannia !
Emmabarnett The PM has just said he'd do it all again. That's not taking full responsibility.
Emmabarnett Don't interrupt while she's reading her script!
Emmabarnett leading the west towards the war with Putin🤣🤣 maybe you planned the war to save your as* BorisJohnsonMustResign
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett Stella Braverman is arguable the most powerful legal figure in this country. She has less than a decade of employment history as a barrister. Make of that what you will.
Emmabarnett No one is shying away from responsibility- except for the 6+ months of denying responsibility and refusing to answer questions SuellaBraverman
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett She doesn't give a toss, 15 minutes of fame. Susan Ellen needs removing and a fresh start with the rest of the GOVERNMENT to put this country back on track.
Emmabarnett Sue Ellen Braverman told the Met not to prosecute Cummings for breaking Lockdown Laws and has said that Trump's Lawyer has said that abolishing the Irish Protocol is Fine. She should return to conveyancing rather than being a Minister.
Emmabarnett Sorry did she literally just say ‘the choppy waters of Covid’?! The famous choppy waters of the global pandemic and the death of tens of thousands. Up there with the ‘pesky comings and goings of world war 2’.
clarelouisekc Emmabarnett He received a civil penalty equivalent to parking ticket /speeding fine. Doesn’t result in criminal record. He was 100% wrong to participate in any parties and has apologised. Starmer lied in HoC when denying ever saying UK should remain in the EMA despite Brexit. He apologised.
Emmabarnett Nice one Emmabarnett
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett You must give credit to Johnson, finding so many dull and talentless individuals to fill his cabinet; It’s the sycophant’s ball. They all demonstrate incompetence and a total lack of understanding of their briefs. Narcissists one and all. NoconfidenceVote
Emmabarnett The Attorney General. Broken laws are all remedied by an apology, especially if you wrote those laws. Zealots NoConfidence
Emmabarnett Bonkers!
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett Freudian slip by 'BorisJohnson over country' SuellaBraverman.... Disappointed by police conclusions, not the actions of her law breaking boss.... 🙄 ToryBritain ToryLies
IvyVic18 Emmabarnett This is about corruption. She forgot that bit.
Emmabarnett No he hasn’t apologised fully
Emmabarnett He hasn’t done anything
Emmabarnett They're frightened that once Johnson is gone, all their corrupt activities will be on display.
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett Shocking comments from an attorney general. N.Ireland brexit was sorted by lies, and is now in a mess again. Others lead the covid recovery. And he is NOT leading the fight in Ukraine. He shamelessly claims credit and she supports him.
SteveM0365 Emmabarnett They're all reading from the same script and it's just a load of BS. Enough already! JohnsonMustGo
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett Although it has been on shaken ground for a number of years, the concept of a politician as government minister and law officer has been completely undermined by Raab and Braverman.
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett Selling her soul 🤯
Emmabarnett SpongerJohnson At least it was only one 'delivering for the British people' With Natalie Elphicke in her Ben Kentish interview We got about 7-8 'delivering for the British people' in a 40 second clip ClownsIdiots
gra_ross1985 Emmabarnett I mean she has to cos no serious prime minister is going give her a job, she has about as much grasp of the law as a spaniel has of thermo dynamics
Emmabarnett Excellent interviewing technique - why don't we hear more like this?
Emmabarnett Just embarrassing. How is she our Attorney General?
Emmabarnett Between her and Priti Patal and Nadine Dorries, the idea that more women in politics is a good thing by itself does seem rather damaged.
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett Almost as if she had prepared a speech and needed to get through it before losing her thread. Yet another one promoted miles above her ability.
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett Party over country. As ever.
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett More toast
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett This woman's father was a pimp. How does that sit with her?
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett She’s no lawyer. She would be disbarred if it weren’t for her position. Her response is a series of bloody obvious lies. She thinks Tory voters are THAT stupid.
BBCPolitics Emmabarnett Not going to even bother listening to this sycophant. I bet you she goes on to excuse his behaviour
Emmabarnett Support him by all means. He’s the only one who would give you a job
Emmabarnett and with that kind of crackpot tory mentality, he'll sail through tonight's vote. which makes me sick
The_RHS Emmabarnett I was told it was no career for a woman at school. 30 years on and I can firmly say how wrong that advice was!
centreWJ catherinewhite7 The brilliant book ‘No Visible Bruises’ by RLSWrites has excellent info on this - eg the correlation between ab incidence of non-fatal strangulation indicating a much higher chance of domestic homicide
centreWJ catherinewhite7 In a world where we keep hearing of EQUAL RIGHTS does this apply for abused men as well
