The 'Brexit Pubs Guarantee' in the
#SpringBudget has made me die a little inside. The EU never set our taxes and doesn't for any member states. Drink to that!

I've written something more detailed which articulates these thoughts and why I feel heavy rather than uplifted today. Many women I know feel the same way. I think it is important to tell it as we see it. The piece is being published tomorrow, I will share it then. (4/4)

The language used and threats towards women in public life only seem to have got worse. Ultimately, this reflects how women everywhere are viewed and treated in their daily lives, the degree and depth of misogyny that exists in our society. (3/4)

In recent years, the fight for equality has felt especially tough. We talk of wanting to end violence against women and girls, but when presented with the facts it feels like we are going backwards. So today, my mind is mainly on the women we've lost to gender-based hate. (2/4)

On #InternationalWomensDay, I normally enjoy seeing all the posts and stories celebrating the women who push us forward. There is a place for this and there are many women who inspire me personally. But today I find myself feeling strangely numb. Why? (1/4)

@naomi_long I'm so sorry Naomi, this is completely unacceptable. No wonder so many women leave politics or don't want to enter it in the first place. Ignore the noise, you are doing a fantastic job.

Eminently sensible proposals by @CamdenLibDems as ever. No critique of the actual proposals from Camden Labour, who hark back to the past rather than confronting their present lack of ambition to improve residents' lives.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about Nicola Sturgeon's resignation is the number of people who thought it was a bad idea for the UK to leave the EU but feel sanguine about Scotland leaving the UK. Yes she grew her party's popularity, but her politics remain bitterly divisive.

That figures from both Labour and the Conservatives now acknowledge the failings of Brexit is welcome. But if they want to repair some of the damage, joining the Single Market has to be on the table. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/11/revealed-secret-cross-party-summit-held-to-confront-failings-of-brexit

Liz Truss's blind ideology means many people are struggling to pay their mortgages while first time buyers are less able to access the housing market because of higher rates and tougher affordability criteria. It's even worse for renters. Her policies continue to harm us.

@SangitaMyska I suffer from it too. It can make life quite difficult and awkward at times! Like you, I have so many trigger foods. And don't get me started on adding painful periods into the mix. It generally works for me to moderate what I eat. Yoga and other exercise very helpful too.
