Jess Phillips

That is a very, very important day for families up and down the country, and they literally wanted to walk all over it.

What I find more disturbing is we've got a number of doctors and people in the medical field now with these kind of views, because I go back to Jess Phillips' comment a couple of years ago, where she said she got better treatment because of how she voted in the Gaza peace fight.

I mean, it's really, really

concerning.

This whole idea of...

You know, what happened with Jess Phillips in Birmingham.

She was abused and shouted at and there was all kinds of accusations.

She won't come out and slag them off.

Just a warning that this episode will contain discussions of sexual violence against women.

We're joined today by Jess Phillips, Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley and the former Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls.

Jess, thank you so much for joining us on Tell Me Why.

You're very welcome.

Be 21.

Welcome back to Tell Me Why.

We're joined by Jess Phillips.

I want to talk about politicization because I think that the way that some politicians talk about violence against women, it feels like a massive distraction sometimes that actually stops us from tackling it effectively.

Tires were slashed.

I mean, Jess Phillips and others...

I had to call the police on a number of occasions during that campaign.

So it was a mob street campaign that delivered these Gaza independents into parliament, often at the expense of Labour MPs.

A law passed in twenty twenty-three was meant to regulate the sector, but it has made no meaningful difference as it's stuck in government consultation.

The Labour MP Jess Phillips, whose constituency has a large number of supported housing properties, believes the Prime Minister will act and is promising, in her words, "to scream blue murder if he doesn't." A government spokesperson said they were working to address the problem.

Panorama: The Big Housing Ripoff is on iPlayer now or on BBC One tonight at eight PM.

An advisor to President Zelensky has told the BBC that Ukrainians are dying because of interruptions in the intelligence supplied to Kyiv by its allies.

Well, I'm really not so sure.

Um, both Jess Phillips and Emily Thornberry have been, uh, doing the rounds this week, um, making the case, exactly that case, that we should rejoin without a referendum and that a general election manifesto declaration would be a sufficient mandate.

Uh-

But they're not in the cabinet.

[laughing] The reality is that the right of election of trial by jury, uh, is at the very heart of the right itself.

But Labour's former safeguarding minister, Jess Phillips, questioned why defendants should have the right to choose and not their alleged victims.

[laughing] No part of the system asks them to be able to elect where the trial might go.

No part of the system asks them if they think it should be appealed.

I think either that or you trigger the final boss.

Every time I tune into Handsaw TV, you see Jess Phillips awkwardly crouch-jumping in a corner, trying to clip through and make herself PM.

And she just keeps saying, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

She's trying to find out how you do a half-eye press.
