“We commend their bravery in coming forward. They have shown that victims will be listened to no matter how long has passed or who their abusers were and we urge other victims of past abuse to do the same.”

End of twitter postTory pro-remain MPs may 'suddenly start to flex their muscles'published at 11:10 British Summer Time 9 June 2017
BBC PoliticsDr Matthew Ashton, politics specialist at Nottingham Trent University, believes both wings of the Conservative party will see Theresa May as "weak and vulnerable".
Image source, Ben Stansall/AFP/Getty Images"The only thing that might save her in the short-term is that any potential successor would be thrown headfirst into the complex Brexit negotiation," he said.
"They'd suffer the same problem she did as not having a personal mandate from the country. Given how her gamble turned out, they might not be eager to follow her down that path.
“We can also expect to see Conservative pro-Remain MPs who have felt ignored and bullied over the last year to suddenly start to flex their muscles."
