The Times, 10 Feb 2017: #Dubs

Hopefully Mrs May will squirm when she sees that in tomorrow's Times.

Heidi Allen had a piece in it today saying how proud she was as a Tory MP on her party position over the Dubs amendment and how angry she was at the numbers being capped at 350.

Allen's a strange one - the fuss about her 'death threats' emails was never really resolved but in many ways she speaks out against the Tory party line on benefits etc.

That's because the "death threats" MP was Lucy *Allan*, not Heidi *Allen*.

(the former is both distinctly flaky and rather more right wing)

An appeal for creative people to help out a Facebook group wanting to quilt a memorial to all the women killed by their partners.

All help will be gratefully received. I'd post a screenshot of the page but it's too big and I can't reduce its size on my iPad but please, if you can help, please check out their page.

Isn't he supposedly "planning" a new executive order on the topic, though?

If I'm not here, then I'll be in the library. Or the other library.
