Are women's reproductive rights safe in the UK?

Maria Caulfield voted against legalising abortion in Northern Ireland. She supports cutting the abortion time limit. She belonged to a parliamentary pro-life group.

Sunak just made her Minister for Women.

@Buildingdrawer @jessphillips completely agree. If those of us who can afford it all invested in state schools instead, more would benefit. It will never be an equal system, as wealthier areas get more financial support from parents anyway, but it’s better than the selfish promotion of only your own family.

We’re extremely disappointed that the government is making calories on menus mandatory in England from 6 April.

We know it causes anxiety for people affected by eating disorders.
We know it can increase fixations on restricting calories for anyone with anorexia or bulimia. 🧵

Following the furore between @benandjerrys and @ukhomeoffice yesterday, I put pen to paper on why it’s vitally important for brands to call out what they perceive as wrong behaviour - even if it risks a bit of backlash https://t.co/KoaG3h6Qxd

[Kass Sells @Kass_Sells]

We are proud of our strong partnership with @microsoft. Congratulations to all the @microsoft and @WEcomms teams who worked on 'Carbon Negative by 2030' and 'Be the One,' and best of luck this October at the #PurposeAwards!

A huge congratulations to our UK team, who have just been shortlisted for two @prweekuknews awards. The first round of applause goes to the team behind the Drumbeat Programme for HSBC CMB for their outstanding employee engagement campaign. #WECelebrate

[Gillian Daines @GillDaines]

@BBCWomansHour I have two sons and while I call them boys / brothers I try to never attribute any behaviour to ‘being a boy’ and keep clothes/toys as neutral as possible. I think there’s a difference between acknowledging biological sex and endorsing / encouraging gendered behaviour.

[Gillian Daines @GillDaines]

@graciie_says No, not at all

[Gillian Daines @GillDaines]

Anyone who knows me, knows I really believe businesses have a huge role to play in making our world better. COVID has seen brands take encouraging steps to do that. But to #buildbackbetter we need strategies and investment for the long term. A few ideas on how in my blog below.

How do you define business purpose? Our purpose guides us every day. And, during the pandemic, we have seen brands use purpose for relief efforts. But how can brands get it right? Gillian Daines explores our #BrandsInMotion research and shares 4 key tips: https://t.co/TH6LLy2WCh

Quite. And I’d love to hear from the complainers how they would process £32 million for free.

[Sorcha Ní Nia @Luiseach]

if you’re angry about the fact that JustGiving has pocketed £308,000 from Colonel Tom Moore's £32 million fundraising campaign for NHS staff then just wait until you realise that it should have been your taxes funding the NHS and not a 100yr old man walking around his garden
