Good news. We re-started the APPG today. Chair: Mims Davies MP Vice-chair: Sam Rushworth MP Officers: Lord Farmer and Baroness Eaton. We will try to get the new government to resurrect the work on Men's Health and Boy's Education which was interrupted by the election.

@Andro_UberAlles Here's our report on boys' achievement and the lessons we learned from those schools that had closed the gap for their boys. The primary cause? : the different ways the adults in their lives treat boys and girls.

Good news. The Crime Survey for England and Wales reports that there has been a gradual decrease in domestic abuse over the last 10 years.
