Family court and all its connections are big business. Can't solve the problems or the money well will dry up.

Well she is a woman - but not sure she's a womens rights activist. If it was Jess Phillips then I might be concerned more - although I saw Jess Phillips comment recently (when asked if she would improve things for women in family courts) that it was a party thing and not her remit. Or something like that. So that suggests that, as Magic says, it will depend on party policy to a degree. I don't think any minister could be seen to be biased one way or the other. As a Barrister she wasn't a family law barrister, she specialised in professional indemnity. As Justice Minister it will encompass the whole of the Justice system and it seems to be widely acknowledge that it is a mess and underfunded. Not just the family courts but criminal as well with huge backlogs.She's a women's rights activist - we are screwed lol
Yes there's clearly a gravy train when it comes to the family courts and the costs incurred with solicitors/ barristers etc .Family court and all its connections are big business. Can't solve the problems or the money well will dry up.

She has recently stated the intention to "rebuild" the justice system - so we can hope.

If they're in parliament they're a**e lickers and out for themselves.
If a politicians lips are moving.....
Agree. Some of them are genuine about DA and there is some real bad stuff out there. Think Wayne Couzens. It's the people who jump on the bandwagon and just hate men generally - often the most vocal!I think the law of unintended consequences will always come into play. For example, Labour might decide more women should get legal aid for divorce cases. In turn though, this might result in less false allegations made by women in order to get legal aid.
Also, I don't think women's rights activists are a problem themselves, because they tend to focus on real issues and have an air of intellectual honesty about them. It tends to be their clingers on (e.g. volunteers for Women's Aid, MPs like Jess Phillips and posters on MumsNet) who misinterpret what they hear and conclude that there is a widespread conspiracy against all women committed by all men who tend to be the problem.
Absolutely. I wonder if some of them actually know what they're doing - they may just believe what a woman tells them. They're voluntary workers, not psychologists. But some women have said solicitors have advised them to say certain things as well.
The problem is that a lot of these groups are cult like and the "volunteers" absolutely believe what they are doing. "Believe Women," for example, is one of their rallying cries. Essentially it means they will believe any old shit that a woman tells them and they take a guilty until proven innocent approach to the alleged "abuser." A particular problem is their tendency to ignore the growing body of evidence of abusive women and how these women use institutions to perpetuate their abuse.I find it absolutely appalling that there are services out there which coach women on how to make false DA allegations to gain legal aid.
They should be investigated and shut down.
