Imagine the uproar if a nationalist politician said they’d had a chat with the boys & they were great lads all together, trying to stop any trouble, but there’s always somebody doing their own thing… It would be worse than that funeral

Having a #RareDisease is a common problem. Understanding these conditions gives us vital insights into human biology & medicine, and helps provide families with answers. Thanks to Laura & Michael for telling the story of their girls. #genetics #genomics bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

In frustration, today we have written to the FM and DFM requesting an update on the EVAWG Strategy. We have a simple ask: "We urge you both to come to the Assembly in September with a plan to sign off on and fund the EVAWG Strategy. We simply cannot afford to wait any longer."

As our wee mini Roses and our Junior Academy girls gear up for a return to training; it's worth noting that sport does so much more than protect their physical and mental health..... #uptheroses 🌹🌹🌹 #studsmakeyoustrong

Does JD Vance talk about anything other than how valueless women without children are? It seems to be non stop, no reflection, no notes. Does it really work for Republicans??

It's already a terrifying stat that there is no region in England where an average-earning woman can afford to live (buy or rent) on her own. Let's not make it any worse. Justice for us single people.

These narratives are so exhausting & exist to both justify inequalities whilst positioning the working-class as stupid, uncultured & undeserving. So let’s take this example of ‘the seaside is free’ as an option for a family day out for a single mother of 3 kids from London.

Doctors leaving NHS for HSE. “They could pay me exactly the same in the NHS and just make my job better and I would have been happy” How many more wake up calls needed? Action on recruitment and retention in NI NHS vital before it’s too late! rte.ie/news/2024/0904…

One of the many lessons from Grenfell is that it it doesn't matter about ethnicity, sexuality, religion. If you're poor, power does not give a flying f**k.

I am significantly older than 40. I have no spats with my family. I’d still rather be living my own life in California than cutting ribbons in England. #Harry owes those people nothing

I’m sure the RF has installed a flashing red light in California so Harry knows that his brother is doing something. No? Then why would he know or care?

If you’re on the fence about women, some elderly or disabled, being able to request female only carers, consider that 90 men thought it would be fine to rape an unconscious woman in her sixties. Only 3 men declined to rape her and none of them reported the rapes to the police.
