"This is the tenth year I have read this list" Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips reads names of women killed by men over the last year in the UK It takes her more than four minutes bbc.in/3Dnx41J

Only in a year where #GiselePélicot holds 50 men who raped her to account does a rapist President get named Person of the Year (for the second time). The message is clear: misogyny rewards power, while survivors like Gisele fight to ensure #ShameMustChangeSides.

This is a staggering stat: The number of children and young people with an EHCP in England stood at a record high of 600,000 in June - up 70% from January 2019. Up 70%?!

2 billion women and girls worldwide have no access to any form of social protection. Latest data from @UN_Women reveals a widening gender gap in social protection measures leaving women & girls more vulnerable to poverty.unwo.men/PMX650TLOSE

Thank you to the many thousands of people across the whole of the NHS & social care who helped deliver the care during the pandemic. Has been a strange and difficult day. But felt it was important to give witness to some small part of the enormity of the challenge we all faced.

Tim Farron, "The unpleasantness about this debate is only matched by the lack of proper information" #BBCQT "85% of refugees settle in the country next to where they come from" "The French take 3x more refugees than we do" "The Germans take 4x more refugees than we do" "If you put us back in the European Union, we are 19th in the league table when it comes to the number of refugees we take per capita" "Do we need deterrents? Yes. The best deterrents is competence. If we assess people when they arrive - and they are not illegal immigrants - they are people seeking asylum.. From Sudan.. Afghanistan.. Iran.. Syria.. 90% turn out to be genuine refugees" "If we have a competent government, and we haven't had one, let's see about this one.. And you assess them quickly.. And return the ones that are not refugees" "That is your deterrent" "Rwanda was a waste of money.. If they spent that money on case workers we could have processed these people, returned the ones that weren't refugees in a humane way, and let th eones who are genuine refugees, become British, pay their taxes, be part of our country, and we should be proud to admit them" Very well said @timfarron 👏

Susanna Reid: "[an MP] on £91,000 is allowed to use taxpayers cash to pay for their energy bills but a pensioner on £11,500 can't claim winter fuel allowance?" #GMB

Resident Doctors’ pay dispute may end soon… “22%” is a sincere offer from the govt but… Bear in mind it’s still only about 7% per year And Residents will still be much less well off than they would have been in 2008 Let’s hope a deal is made! 1/2 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjqe…

There will be women tonight dreading their partner coming home. Football does not cause domestic abuse, but it can become more frequent or severe after big games, with reporting increasing by 38% when England lose. Go to womensaid.org.uk. In an emergency, always call 999.

Former head of MI6, Sir Alex Younger, "I travel around Europe.. Nobody mentions the UK, we've just made ourselves irrelevant" "Brexit has marginalised us" "Putin will have been absolutely delighted by our decision to leave the EU, as will have Xi Jinping.. When Xi looks at Europe, he's intent on peeling it away from the US.. This is a key objective for a whole set of reasons"

Nick Robinson, "You promised when you became Prime Minister to cut NHS waiting lists. Have they gone up or down?" Rishi Sunak, "They have risen.. They are now coming down" Rishi Sunak then blames junior doctors for the waiting lists Nick Robinson, "Waiting lists haven't just gone up under Rishi Sunal. They went up under Liz Truss, under Boris Johnson, under Theresa May, under David Cameron.. Conservative Prime Ministers over 14 years have put NHS waiting lists up" Rishi Sunak, "The NHS is undeniable under pressure for a while.. This election is about the future" Nick Robinson, "People think its alrought for Conservative leaders who can pay, go private and skip the queue" Rishi Sunak, "I come from an NHS family" Nick Robinson, "Do you use private healthcare?" Rishi Sunak, "I have done in the past... We are bringing the waiting lists down"

Do you want to know WHY crime is not going down? 14 yrs of Tory Govt decimated policing (1/2m yrs experience lost, 800 stations closed), the courts (100s gone), the prisons & support services overwhelmed They also increased poverty & inequality Victims & communities pay the price

Unbelievable that this is the case in 2024. Women work for free for seven weeks of the year because of gender pay gap, report finds peoplemanagement.co.uk/artic… via @PeopleMgt

Looking for an exceptional lead nurse to join our amazing team! DM if interested mft.nhs.uk/careers/search-ap…

If we had a public inquiry into Brexit, as well as Covid, we’d have many of the same characters, the same attitudes, and the same bullshit. A government built on hate, lies, narcissism, fear, bullying, innumeracy and tribalism is unlikely to deliver for its people. And it hasn’t.

Sleeping on the streets is NOT a lifestyle choice. We don’t have nearly enough affordable homes, rents are soaring and this is leaving people destitute and forced to sleep rough. This is a consequence of poverty. And poverty in this country has been exacerbated by policy choices

So what are the issues in education we need to solve? Well, there’s: Recruitment and retention Buildings falling down Morale at an all time low Issues with the inspectorate A DFE heads don’t believe in Hmmm. Phones. What about that? Good plan. Announce it at conference.

A day in the absolute joke of a Tory govt we are having to put up with Gillian Keegan took on persona of a sweary, self righteous XXXX amid disgraceful RAAC crisis in schools Gavin Williamson forced to apologise to Parliament for bullying cos he didn't get an invitation to the Queen's funeral. He now has to undergo "behavioural training"... Sunak tried, and failed dismally, to counter the proof he cut back on schools rebuilding budget... Chris Pincher lost appeal against suspension from House of Commons for groping two men last year. There will be more but the news programmes can only cope with so much..... General Election very soon please

End of an era for me start of a new one for you? Great opportunity to lead our fabulous professions in the best Chief Nurse role in the country. odgers.com/en-gb/opportuniti…
