@Shay_TheActress @MarkRSWright @StokesNeuro @WidowedAndYoung I’m so sorry to hear that. There is a US organisation I think that is similar. Widows wear stilettos or something… worth checking out. Solidarity is vital x

I wouldn't underestimate the nurses if I was @SteveBarclay - I'd get round the table PDQ. And if I were a Tory MP I would demand it.
Talking tough and expecting nurses to cave in is behaviour of a bully - and the govt have got this so wrong #NursesStrike

@MarkRSWright @StokesNeuro Sending love to both of you and your families. I’m so sorry to read these tweets. Twenty years ago I lost the father of my two little girls to cancer. I can’t recommend @WidowedAndYoung highly enough. Saved my sanity and gave me friends for life.

This is how planning can be done. Private sector net zero homes - well done @CheltenhamBC for raising the bar on developers
RT @MartinChelt: Pleased @CheltenhamBC planners have refused bid to build in foreground of this stunning view from @CotswoldsAONB on site with important orchards. Nearby, our first private sector net zero homes are going up. You can plan homes AND be green. @GreenLibDems

I completely agree with this @LukePollard - so why did Labour Lords abstain when they could have stopped this legislation in a fatal motion in the House of Lords tabled by the Liberal Democrats? How serious is Labour really about defeating this attack on our democracy?

We need a temporary eviction and repossession ban to end this Dickensian nightmare.

Great to see protesters in London to defend wild camping on Dartmoor
No wealthy private landlord should be able to overturn the right to camp out under the stars on Dartmoor. So vital especially for young people many of whom get their first taste for outdoor adventure on the moor

Great thread on the reality of public sector pay rises.
It’s high time the govt got round the table.
RT @RichardJMurphy: Rishi Sunak has claimed that to pay a 10% pay rise to all public sector employees will cost each household in the UK £1,000. This is what I call CRAp - which stands for a ‘completely rubbish approximation’ to the truth. Let me explain…a thread…

Sexual harassment, abuse and violence is never OK, and it is incumbent on all of us to call it out wherever we see it - from everyday micro-agressions to serious violence

Thank god this harrowing story didn’t have a worse ending.
I’m glad your daughter got the meds she needed Rachel - and sorry to read what you went through trying to get them. It really, really shouldn’t be like this.
Let’s not forget billions on dodgy contracts for VIP mates

The decision to open a new mine in Cumbria exposes this govt for the climate hypocrites they really are.
How can we show global leadership on climate now?
What about creating jobs with green tech instead?
We must look forward not back. Exporting coal is not the answer
