Silence as MP Jess Phillips reads names of 108 women killed by men in UK - full list

MPs listened in silence as Labour MP Jess Phillips read out a list of women killed by men in the last year in the Commons today.

The Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding, who reads the list every year, said it was the "honour " of her life to pay tribute to their lost lives.

The Commons fell silent as Ms Phillips read the list of 108 names - one of which had been added just as she was entering the chamber. It took her five minutes to read out the names.
