It feels strange to be tiptoeing back into this space, reading old posts about breastfeeding, soft words tucked amongst stark realities. The baby days are no more and I’m trying something different , same platform, same me, new words, new space ✨

The UK has the the second most expensive childcare system in the world. Nursery costs parents of under 2s 65% of their wage on average. Unless this ‘letter writing campaign’ is sending out envelopes stuffed with cash I have NO idea how this is supposed to help.

[Joeli Brearley @Joeli_Brearley]

Lost for words. Do ministers really think they will get mums back to work by writing a letter? Have they actually consulted mums? Because we do that every single day & issues are: childcare, flexible working & discrimination. They want to work but can’t https://t.co/C1qK4IZNUw

“The UK’s childcare costs rank among the most expensive in the world. ⁦@PregnantScrewed⁩ is calling for reforms to the sector, increased financial support for new parents and for all work to be flexible by default.”

@RachelCalter @iamali This is what I am thinking! Maybe I will just buy some black trainers 😂

[Becqui Jean @BecquiJ]

@iamali And I also bought 4x trousers for Rufus… because I can never dry stuff quickly in winter, need a heated airer!

Bring back Mary Shelley-esque writers retreats where a group of weirdo writers spend a weekend together getting drunk and eating snacks and end up writing the most famous horror stories of all time.

[Shaun Hinds @shaunhinds]

An brilliant long read by ⁦@JonathSchofield⁩ on the neglect which blights parts of Castlefield. It’s insightful and tragic in equal measure and is testament to what happens with disparate land ownership and absent landlords. 1/2 https://t.co/Bxv3zmWUuE

@RosieVanM Oh this has made my morning!

[Becqui Jean @BecquiJ]

@Cat_Lumb Oh I just stumbled across this thread too and am very much looking forward to listening to the podcast!

[Becqui Jean @BecquiJ]

Bloody brilliant little thread here, one for parents everywhere, in fact anyone for whom creative endeavours are on pause because y’know… LIFE

[Sarah Hollowell 🦝 @sarahhollowell]

Holy shit what kind of response is this??

[Becqui Jean @BecquiJ]

@iamali Oh babe, I am sure it’s just a stage, you are bloody amazing xx

@IphotoMat @GrimArtGroup @thatsweavernews - this is in Saltburn isn’t it?!

[Becqui Jean @BecquiJ]

@RachelCalter @alicespake Please and thank you 💛

[Becqui Jean @BecquiJ]

@RachelCalter @alicespake Ooooh @RachelCalter would you mind sending it to me too? B has just had it, so there’s a very good chance Rufus will get it too… but if he doesn’t I want to get him vaccinated, he’s just been so sick this winter I don’t want him to get anything more!
