The merging of DFID and the FCO will sabotage the UK’s ability to respond effectively to the biggest crisis we have faced in a century, at home and abroad. This is not building a “Global Britain,” this is turning our backs on those struggling to survive.

We're with @womensaid on this. The killing of a woman by her partner isn’t a “domestic dispute” that “got out of hand.” It’s a crime – and downplaying it is dangerous and offensive. Globally, five women are killed every hour by a partner or family member.
