Iβve had some great times here, made new connections, learned loads and, I hope, offered insight on HIV and LGBTQ issues.
Iβm going to take a break from X for a while. I will be on 𧡠and π¦.
If youβve enjoyed me, Iβd be grateful if you shared this so others can find me.

So sad that the East/West divide in #Enfield has even impacted Halloween - v clear on Nextdoor last night that the more affluent side of the borough were trick or treating in force, almost zero on the otherπ§ @EnfieldDispatch

This is why we need a national prostate cancer screening programme alongside breast cancer screening. It didnβt have to be this way and Iβm sad at this news #ChrisHoy theguardian.com/sport/2024/oβ¦

Speaking with my @Enfield_Carers hat on, this is such an important win - congratulations to @CarersUK for keeping up the pressure πͺπΎ
π£Success! After our months-long campaign on the Carerβs Allowance overpayments scandal, we're pleased the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions @leicesterliz has commissioned an independent review to assess how overpayments accrued on such a vast scale

Dame @Rachel_deSouza talked about the need for health and education to work together as a response to youth criminal activity - weβve stopped talking about the riots. There is an anxiety crisis as well as a mental health crisis #CPC24
30 Sep 2024
Then, we heard from Dame @Rachel_deSouza, the Childrenβs Commissioner for England.
She opened by noting that COVID was a negative turning point for mental health among children, especially those who were disadvantaged.

I would like people who talk about how idyllic lockdown was for them to have a listen to this harrowing testimony. We must never forget and the workforce suffering from PTSD must be supported.

I really do worry people have forgotten what Covid-19 was like for NHS staff. I went onto ICU wards and saw it myself. I spoke to staff broken by relentless death.
@Kevin_Fong testimony @covidinquiryuk needs to be heard:

We're pleased @Keir_Starmer has promised security and 'a roof over their head' for domestic abuse survivors.
The government must put tackling economic abuse at heart of its mission to halve Violence Against Women and Girls in a decade - working with us to drive systems change.
24 Sep 2024
One of the biggest claps so far for the promise that victims of domestic abuse "will have the security they deserve, they will have a roof over their head"

Very concerning findings in this new report from @centreWJ, drawing on the experiences of 200 women.
The report identifies key steps that must be taken, including urgently addressing significant gaps in the collection and recording of data on perpetrators.

I am not going to deactivate my account just yet, but I will be doing my engagement elsewhere for now. I still need to use X for work, but the sudden drop in my own followers after 16 years is telling me all I need to know. Take care on here, people.

This Sunday morning I will be praying for Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, Alice Dasilva Aguiar, their families and other victims injured.
Freedom of speech & freedom to protest must never be violated to allow and normalise racism, violence, rioting and online misinformation.
