And we have some filibustering going on from some on the Tory benches. As ever! Disgusting.

Yep.

It does irritate me that domestic violence against men isn't talked about, particularly emotional abuse. But there is no excuse for anyone talking this bill down.

Note the Istanbul convention covers domestic violence against men. One of my fellow Glaswegians has just tweeted to Philip Davies, the filibuster, 'I hope your next shite is a hedgehog'

Good point. Domestic violence, whoever it involves, needs combating.
