The figures leaked exclusively to The Independent today are already far too high – with one in five people working in Westminster reporting that they have experienced sexual harassment in the last 12 months, with twice as many women reporting incidents of harassment as men 

We’re experiencing ‘a puritanical wave of purification’, I read, while sitting opposite a billboard featuring a naked woman orgasmically proclaiming her lust for yoghurt

A spokesperson from the MHRA was quoted as saying they were glad of the change because it would prevent men from buying unregulated pills illegally on the internet. This is the same agency that does week-long raids every year on abortion pills

The reasons why men may have worked to keep allegations of Weinstein’s sexual harassment out of the media – or at the very least remained silence on issues which clearly crossed a moral line – are most likely the same reasons why so many women who have now shared their stories didn’t do so before

The prospect of a group of people, 50 per cent of whom are male, voting on whether or not women deserve bodily autonomy feels less and less liberating the longer you think about it

To be fair to Rees-Mogg, he’s never pretended that he isn’t a relic of a bygone era. The problem is when people assume the aesthetics – the glasses, the vintage car, the accent, the suits – are the whole package. Being a throwback from about a century ago isn’t just about looking funny; it's also about holding some very objectionable views

Emily Thornberry said to Damian Green that it seemed the Government was actually ‘making Brexit up as it goes along’ – and in a week when Boris Johnson got embarrassingly slapped down by an EU negotiator, it’s hard not to agree with her

‘The Prime Minister found £1bn to keep her job – why can’t she find the same amount for the doctors and nurses in their jobs?’ said Corbyn, and May refused to answer

The Queen was given a £6m pay rise today, while refurbishments on Buckingham Palace are estimated to cost £369m. Meanwhile, the ‘cheaper and more flammable’ cladding option was chosen for Grenfell Tower reportedly in order to save £5,000

In a frighteningly prescient post titled 'Playing With Fire', the Grenfell residents' association wrote in 2016 that 'a serious fire in the tower block' with a catastrophic loss of life would be the only way they could bring the company managing the building 'to justice'

It’s no secret that the same people who try to justify their racism against immigrants with the ‘Muslim men raping our white women’ narrative are happy to turn a blind eye when the perpetrators of sexual assault are white men

Philip Davies spoke for 78 minutes about how this bill might somehow, somewhere, in some inscrutable way harm men. 'If only we could rely on a balanced contribution,' he lamented, in a Parliament which is 71 per cent male

There's a very simple reason why it's not patriotic or reasonable to ghettoise immigrant children in certain failing schools

Like the astute businessman that he is, he found a niche in the market and he filled it. Now he’s in the Oval Office he doesn’t need white supremacists 

There is a lot to be said for acknowledging that a bad experience has changed you, rather than riding roughshod over offensive remarks with a lipsticked smile plastered onto your face

Clinton pledged that half her cabinet will be women, and her closest political adviser, Huma Abedin, was Muslim. The last Muslim woman who appeared prominently at a Trump rally was Ghazala Khan, the mother of a fallen American soldier who Trump implied was not allowed to speak because of her religion. And now a white man who promised to ban Muslim immigration is entering the White House
