International Women's Day
It will be hard for anyone to be ignorant of the headlines that have bombarded us of late, in which violence against women has been at the core. Violent, dominating or intimidating relationships are all based on a power imbalance. Couzins, it has proved, is not an aberrant member of the police but one of a truly disturbing number of those reported for crimes against women. Aggressive, bullying behaviour, whether within the workplace or home is a reflection of an unhealthy dynamic, an imbalance of power. Until these insidious 'norms' of behaviour are called out and prosecuted, then women will continue to be exploited. It is easy to congratulate our society for 'equality', in contrast to others where women are openly subjugated, but equality for all members of a society is a constant battle and the erosion of rights and opportunities can be subtle and insidious.

Julian Tisi: Save families in Windsor and Maidenhead from £500 energy bill rise in April
Julian Tisi, Liberal Democrat Parlimentary Spokesperson for Windsor is demanding the Government cancel plans to hike the average household energy bill by £500 in April, and bring in a tax on the "bonanza bonuses" of oil and gas bosses. The party is calling for cuts to people's bills instead, combined with a new energy support package for businesses, leisure centres, schools and hospitals across Windsor and Maidenhead.
