The Princess of Wales looks to be launching a sincere & thoughtful campaign, but it's kind of wild that Sure Start was an evidence-based solution to the problems she's raising, was evaluated and found to be wonderfully successful, and we're sort of pretending it wasn't cut.

Hi. I’m Matt Hancock. You may have seen me in films such as ‘how to look relaxed on camera,’ and ‘how to turn a corner like a human being’

This thread is bang on. So incredibly sad, but absolutely bang on.

Every woman I spoke to yesterday knew this would be the reason Emma and Lettie Pattison are gone. Police call it an ‘isolated incident’. But every 3 days in the UK, a woman is murdered by her partner or ex-partner. In this context, is far from ‘isolated’. It is devastating.

NO A man’s expectation that a woman must be controlled by him led to the murder of two innocents

This is worth retweeting today

The UK Covid inquiry has been hearing evidence about pregnancy and maternity care. Nuala McGovern hears the latest from the BBC’s Health reporter Jim Reed. They are also joined by Jenny Ward, CEO LullabyTrust, and mother and writer @daisielane 🎧 Listen ⬇️

We told my 4yr old I was pregnant and she was NOT happy about it. After she cried in her bed she came downstairs hands on hips and asked in the most accusatory tone “And where exactly is this new baby gonna sleep?” like we were two teens who hadn’t thought this pregnancy through

maternity pay is crap, childcare costs are crippling, childbirth is hellish and pre/post natal care is on its knees, it costs a million pounds to rent a 1 bed shed, butter is a fiver and it’s exhausting just being alive

“And then Trump won for a second time, but all the while the UK had learned that Gary Barlow’s son was massive, which then became a national priority.”

remember when they said a woman in power would be too emotional
