Mum of twins, jumper of hedges, vegetarian, lapsed scientist. Before Brexit, I used to tweet about my horses and funny things my children said.

@JamesMelville Brexit. The time before, the conservative/lib dem coalition and the London olympics, when we felt at the hub of everything seems a golden era. It all shuddered to a halt with the Brexit vote.

[Hedge Hunter @Hedge_Hunter]

@GhostOfCorkey @Anna_Soubry Actually there is. Old Brexit voters are dying off and being replaced by sensible, outward looking younger people who want a better economy and brighter prospects.

@JamesMelville People are grown ups, they can choose. There’s normally a Costa or other shops. Ours has an M&S. Whatever they eat in the real world for the rest of the time is really what needs addressing.

[Hedge Hunter @Hedge_Hunter]

@Brink_Thinker Yeah. Exactly that.

Taylor Swift announcing her engagement just as we were going to announce the return of Spring Onion flavour.

Clearly trying to bury our news. Is she in the pockets of Big Crisp?

@SeabrookCrisps @Sillyshib Worth being on Twitter for.

🧵 Today @DHSCgovuk has published Dr Penny Dash’s report on patient safety organisations, which has driven a number of structural changes set out in the 10-Year Health Plan: https://t.co/MdLM5ySJMu.

How can you justify abolishing the independent #Healthwatch function?

Healthwatch functions sit well alongside charities and social enterprises, delivering independent, trusted, cost-effective scrutiny and insight in place

@HWSalford @RLong_Bailey @MWheelerMP

[Liam @Liamkc1998]

An absurd move from Wes Streeting.

No other organisation amplifies the public’s voice like Healthwatch. Locally and nationally. Its unique reach drives local change and exposes national failures through real stories that matter.

@Hush9Hush @L_Wastell People here on a visa of any sort pay an immigration health surcharge of £1035 per family member

Oh my god. Oh my god. He didn’t even recognise her. A former Prime Minister of his country. A very recent one.

The commentary at the end too! Greatest clip yet.

I am on the floor. I am not sure I will recover.

There’s no precedent in at least the last 40 years for an English prisons/home office minister talking like this. My mate who’s a senior probation officer just sent me it. Imagine the sense of purpose you would feel going to work after years of solid cuts.

[Hedge Hunter @Hedge_Hunter]

@rhipratchett An amazing author and much missed.

[Hedge Hunter @Hedge_Hunter]

@RevRichardColes Clean the camera, it might have dirt/speck of dust in front of it.

[Hedge Hunter @Hedge_Hunter]

@hazzahhsmum That is very bad. Get well soon.

So sad to hear that Shane Macgowan has died. The Pogues were the first band I ever saw live. Thanks for the wonderful music, I've loved it all my life and now my daughter is listening to it too.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

In 1922, insulin co-discoverer Frederick Banting refused to profit from the discovery & offered it to the world as a global public good.

Today, many people with #diabetes still don't have access to affordable and quality treatment and care.

@Sorcha_Anna @JasonManford unfortunately x that ‘just 30 mins and you’ve got a week to do it’ by all the subjects, add in a few extra keen teachers who give more and you’ve got kids doing an hour + a night. Self directed study is a vital skill but schools should have study sessions during the school day.
