@adamleitchsport @Arsenal Little kids are terrified of being crushed. Parents saying they are never coming to @Arsenal again. Absolute shambles

[Kelly Stokes @BionicTriGirl]

@angela_chinnock @TUIUK That’s ridiculous. Seem at deliberate attempt by @TUIUK to get you to pay extra!

[Kelly Stokes @BionicTriGirl]

@TUIUK tried to check in and husband and I allocated seats apart from each other. Have 6 month old daughter who I’m breastfeeding. Not sure how your claim of being breastfeeding friendly is put into practice as I will now have to have a stranger inches from my naked breast..1/2

[Kelly Stokes @BionicTriGirl]

@TUIUK So to clarify - you are breastfeeding friendly if I pay you to do so? Despite booking a “family holiday��� package?

[Kelly Stokes @BionicTriGirl]

@TUIUK 2/2.. or have daughter starve. Phoned your helpline and told it would be £70 to be allowed to sit together. Hardly supporting breastfeeding, more like making a profit from the situation.

[Kelly Stokes @BionicTriGirl]

So much for being ‘breastfeeding friendly’ @TUIUK want to charge extra £70 per flight to allow husband&I to sit together with 6 month old. Will have to put up with a stranger inches from my naked breasts or have daughter starve! @BfN_UK @_breastfeeding @stellacreasy @NCTcharity

@DgcsResponse massive thanks today. Getting locked in a carpark with a 10 week old....your team’s professionalism, understanding and kindness made a stressful situation so much better. Not all superheroes wear capes. Thanks Tom!

Flashback to August 2012. Challenge Copenhagen, my first proper triathlon...

It’s a day before the race.
Until now I don’t think I believed I was going to do this.
Sure I’d been signed up for this for 9 months… https://t.co/PKTnVYSiEd

@boardmanbikes do you do 9.4, 9.6 or 9.8 versions in the women’s road bikes? Been on your website and can’t see anything past the 9.2 🤔

[Kelly Stokes @BionicTriGirl]

@CarlaAFC Is there an adult version?

[Kelly Stokes @BionicTriGirl]

@Helenfmurray @BBCSport Actions speak louder than words. Still a long way to go before we see true change and equality!
A lot of the women’s coverage they do have is so patronising and just a tick box exercise.

[Kelly Stokes @BionicTriGirl]

If it was easy footballers would be doing it...He may have played for @SouthamptonFC but this isn’t footballer behaviour. @PortsmouthTri it’s time to put city rivalries aside and show support. If you see him out on your training rides today give him a cheer!

[Iron Fran @IronFran2019]

[Kelly Stokes @BionicTriGirl]

Wow, just wow. I can’t even begin to think how much pain he’s in.
Anyone who’s done one Ironman can only begin to imagine.
@BritTri @220Triathlon @tri247 @lucygoss surely a RT isn’t too much to ask for such a good cause&an incredible effort by @FrannyBenali over the past week?
