Labour focused on appeasing Reform, not beating them, says Jeremy Corbyn
Former Labour leader says his new party will inspire hope, not fear, and promises to reset ‘broken’ political system

‘It is critical that specialist family violence services make contact and offer support to people who use violence in a timely manner,’ coroner says
Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast
Family violence services are regularly failing to contact offenders who have been referred to them for support, a Victorian coroner investigating the death of a woman who was murdered by her estranged husband has found.
The coroner, John Cain, also found that more research should be done into “fixated threat” family violence murderers, given risk assessment tools used by police were largely inadequate in predicting homicides.
In Australia, the crisis support service Lifeline is on 13 11 14 and the national family violence counselling service is on 1800 737 732. In the UK, Samaritans can be contacted on freephone 116 123 and the domestic abuse helpline is 0808 2000 247. In the US, the suicide prevention lifeline is 988 and the domestic violence hotline is 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). Other international helplines can be found via www.befrienders.org
