MP reads out list of women killed by men in past year

Ahead of International Women's Day next week, a Labour MP recalled women killed in 2023-2024.

As she does every year, Jess Phillips named every woman, and listed some unknown women, killed in the UK in the past 12 months, where the primary suspect or known killer was a man.

The backbench MP, and former shadow minister for domestic violence and safeguarding, started by telling MPs that she had grown “tired and weary” of reading the list, despite it being an honour, and that half of the women on it could have been saved.
