It’s been a few days since our investigation into #RussellBrand aired - and amazing to see the tangible impact it’s having. But it’s important to remember this is all thanks to women who trusted us to tell their stories - not for themselves, but to help other women. #Dispatches

“If this isn’t resolved quickly then I cannot survive.” 27-year-old Philippa died by suicide when her disability benefits were cut off. The system can be hard to navigate and complicated. When mistakes are made and the process fails, it can be fatal. #disabilitybenefits

I worked on a doc in 2019 which found that a police officer is sacked or convicted for sexual misconduct every 5 days. The police’s own inspectorate said it was a problem in both 2017 & 2019. It’s systemic & we need more journalists in those misconduct hearings to report on it.

As companies like Amazon rely more and more on their agency workforce, there needs to be better regulation to protect the rights of these workers. My piece for @bureaulocal :

Last week we uncovered how #AmazonDoesntDeliver for agency workers on #zerohours contracts who were missing hundreds of pounds in unpaid wages. But why is this happening? @vjbnoble explains how regulation of employment agencies has fallen short.

The most shocking stats from yesterday's LeDeR report on deaths of people with learning disabilities (a thread) - 1. the average age of death for a man with severe learning disabilities from an ethnic minority group is only 33. That's 50!!! years younger than the average.

For an investigation in 2018, I developed a database of 227 officers in England and Wales who were sacked or convicted for sexually exploiting at least 424 victims (between 2015 and 2018). That was one officer or PSCO every 5 days - and only counted those who were caught.

LeDeR has been reporting on these deaths for six years and there's been little change in the life expectancy gap between those with and without learning disabilities in that time (still around 27 years for women and 23 for men). We need change faster.
