Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “turn over a new leaf“ and it is a phrase meaning “it is about new beginnings; it means to change your behaviour or lifestyle, in a positive way; reform, improve, amend”.
Example Sentence: The collapse in rape prosecutions has created a climate of impunity. Women are right to be furious… The (UK) government’s frank admission of failure is praiseworthy. But promises to turn over a new leaf are never enough. Abused women and the organisations that work with them know this better than most.
