@PaulEmbery Next he’ll be declaring that he’s a woman!

@Future_Cities @JuliaHB1 It’s sad that interviews like this are so rare that they stand out as exceptional. Wish there were more journalists like @JuliaHB1 calling people to account.

Ldn’s Mayor reported May 31 for financial years 2018-21, 70 FGM offences & 3 detections by MET. Included were crimes flagged for FGM, using a crime report with HO classification, failing to protect girls from it or breach FGM PO. Two charges reported. #FGMepidemic still anyone? pic.twitter.com/I7mTwRFXZh
