@AvrilDrummond1 It's just one holiday after another for some academics ....... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Seriously, have a GOOD time, and hope you get to see some Gaudi and Modernisme - check out Palau de la Musica Catalana if you have time (see pic)

Let's make our voice loud and clear.

@SuellaBraverman - you do NOT speak for me!

Retweet if you agree!

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Thank you, @GaryLineker

[Magdalena Skrybant @MSkrybant]

Excellent session this morning with @NIHRinvolvement about capturing impact of involvement. @lynn_laidlaw brilliant opener - capturing impact is crucial to understanding the journey - as much as the destination

Anyone can get breast cancer, so it’s so important to get to know your normal by checking your breasts regularly. We love this captivating educational poem created by totally telling tales, @EllamaeStatham & @Liz_ORiordan empowering people to breast check. 1/3

@Peston Well, what do you think??

[Claire Ballinger 🇺🇦🌻❤ @ClaireBallinge1]

@paulmasonnews Tories create policies which tap into racist ideologies but which are too expensive, impractical and unworkable (as well as unethical, obvs). Bills also.

Dear @SuellaBraverman

You and your politics don’t represent Britain for me.

If you are reading this and agree, RT. Let’s send Suella Braverman a message.

[Together With Refugees 🧡 @RefugeeTogether]

Denying people the human right to claim asylum. Forcibly removing people to Rwanda. Locking people up simply for seeking safety.

This cruel law does not represent us.

It's time for a fair, compassionate & workable asylum system. Who's with us?

@GirlsOwn Not 'Oh just f**k off' then??

[Prof Nisreen Alwan 🌻 @Dr2NisreenAlwan]

Please award more Nobel Prizes to women in the future if you believe we change the world.

60 women compared to 894 men winning Nobel is not a good look.

@Vdweller @Samfr I just hate this rhetoric - makes me so angry 😡 😡 😡... and they have the audacity to talk about compassion!

[Claire Ballinger 🇺🇦🌻❤ @ClaireBallinge1]

@RishiSunak If you are desperate enough to risk your life crossing in a small boat, d'you think vague threats with no enforcement resources are going to deter you?? IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO SEEK ASYLUM.

[Claire Ballinger 🇺🇦🌻❤ @ClaireBallinge1]

@RishiSunak If you are seeking asylum, you are often desperate, frightened and with few resources. IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO SEEK ASYLUM.

[Claire Ballinger 🇺🇦🌻❤ @ClaireBallinge1]

@RishiSunak What about migrants already here waiting months and months for their applications to be processed? What about lone children migrants who 'disappear' and end up being exploited in gangs or worse? IT IS NOT A CRIME TO SEEK ASYLUM.
