Listening to Woman’s Hour yesterday and the discussion about abortion rights in the US. The overturning of RoevWade is having huge repercussions both politically and socially.

We must be vigilant in the UK and not allow the anti-abortion groups to get a foot in the door. #NC41

National Down Syndrome Policy Group Liam Fox MP This isn’t a clarification, its an admission that the original amendment was much broader in scope & wouldn’t get the support you hoped. This new amendment is still a stalking horse for anti-abortionists - a mealy-mouthed push to remove women’s rights under the guise of equality.

One year on Andrew Turner we still have work to do.

Day 3 of Sammy’s fight to live after his fall. A long brain op & I clung to hope. In his life he had worked hard to cope with a complex disability against a backdrop of exclusion & neglect. A special boy full of integrity & drive, now in a hospital bed horrifically injured. 😭💔

With my other hat on, as chair of Validity Foundation this is such important work. It finds violence against women and children w disabilities is often not recognised and not reported. This is research from 5 countries but@Channel4News we are investigating a similar situation here

Please check out the C4 News piece about the preventable death of Connor Sparrowhawk with autism. As ITV's powerful Post Office drama showed sometimes it takes actors to make people sit up & take notice of a national scandal that the mainstream media repeatedly ignore.

Ramandeep Kaur Very predictable - if you disagree with them you are a troll/insect/peacock/insert offensive term

If you point out the truth about their actions you are spreading lies/not employable/insert derogatory description.

No debate. No consultation. No Guidance. No change for pple w/DS

Showing why this is absolutely not the way to reform this area of law. This group have spent the past fortnight attacking anyone who pointed out the problem that has forced Fox to amend his amendment. Now they thank him. Clueless or disingenuous?

PLEASE HELP. I’m going to campaign like mad this week…apologies to those fed up with me constantly pushing, but I’m desperately hoping we can reach £15,000 this week to save Nabil’s oldest three children. Any support appreciated. We’re £4,000 short. gofund.me/2f56e9e0🙏🙏🙏

Marcus Hanlin's inquest was the lead story on tonight's BBC Points West. He was left unattended by Brandon Trust and swallowed conkers and inhaled rice. Coroner found his death was contributed to by neglect. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

I just emailed AirTanker to tell them to stand on the right side of history and refuse to forcibly fly refugees to Rwanda on behalf of the UK government.

Sharon Louise Smith It's astonishingly hard to spread disinformation that makes this campaign look worse for abortion rights than it is. Let's not forget Heidi Crowter's barrister stood up in court and called for fetuses to be awarded the right to life under English law. Texas ahoy.
