Both Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer have agreed the case of Sarah Everard should be a turning point on violence against women in the UK.
Striking a collegiate tone rarely heard at PMQs, the prime minister and the Labour leader said politicians should work together to effect change, after Ms Everard s death sparked conversations about how women feel unsafe while outside the home.
Sir Keir urged the prime minister to work with him to ensure Ms Everard s death is a watershed moment and a turning point for tackling the epidemic of violence against women and girls.
Serving Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens, 48, is accused of kidnapping and murdering 33-year-old marketing executive Ms Everard as she walked home from a friend s flat in Clapham, south London, on the evening of March 3.
