Chrissy Chambers has won her fight for justice and is the first revenge porn victim in England to publicly win damages. She proposed to her girlfriend Bria Kam outside the High Court today. Fantastic to be able to report such great news @BriaandChrissy

Listening to Robert Jenrick pathetically attempting to justify Cummings on the radio this morning has made so me furious I almost threw my porridge pan through the window. We are being lied to and insulted so blatantly. They think we are beyond contempt.
