Asked if they were right about their safety concerns, women and equalities minister Ms Phillipson told Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg: “Sadly, yes, women are right to be fearful in society more widely about the attitudes and the normalisation of attitudes towards women and violence against women that I’d hoped we’d made more progress on, and I hoped we put behind us.”

asserted
what → add → language
“Whilst yes we should look at individual cases – and I’m not for one second seeking to minimise the concerns that those women raise – this is part of a much bigger challenge that we all of us have to tackle together.”

feeling → tell → me

The Lib Dem MP in Bicester and Woodstock, Calum Miller, “has been showing that you can make good decisions about where asylum seekers have to go, and bad decisions, and the proposal to locate lots of young men on that ex-MoD site is a very bad decision”, Sir Ed said.
asserted
Ed → show → site
The correct way to handle migration is to process asylum applications far faster, meaning “we could deport those who have no right to be here, and move people who have a right to be here to get on with their lives out of the hotels”, he said.
