Today is World IBD Day. 💜 IBD.... It’s pain, fatigue, medication, surgeries, hospital appointments, and invisible complications. It can be life changing, career changing, and overwhelming , even when you keep smiling and pushing on. Be kind... @CrohnsColitisUK

For more than 25 years, the Metropolitan Police has been repeatedly found by independent investigations to be institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic. The brass neck is staggering. As Commissioner, Mark Rowley’s job is to serve the public, not to make political attacks. Shame on him.
“Apprehending violent and dangerous criminals is a full contact and messy task which may appear shocking to observers with little experience of policing in the real world.” Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley writes to Zack Polanski.

People living with a stoma are often judged for using the toilet facilities they need. We were pleased to contribute to this @itvcalendar story highlighting why stoma friendly toilets and greater stoma awareness matter. #StomaAware

It’s Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week. It takes guts to talk about Crohn’s and Colitis, but we can do it and break the stigma. #CrohnsAndColitisAwarenessWeek #HowColitisFeels #HowCrohnsFeels
