Vegan, dog loving accountant.But cool. Sparkle and spreadsheets by day at @BB_UK1 Breaking Barriers. Former Chair @WORCrights | Treasurer @CoramFamChild
It is with a heavy heart i say so long to @WORCrights after 6 years! It’s been a rewarding, educational and entirely wonderful experience. I’ll always be a friend of the work rights centre 💛💛💛💛
We just wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to @Holly_RR, who is stepping down from the position of Chair of Trustees. Holly has seen the Work Rights Centre go from an idea on a flip chart to the ambitious, dynamic organisation it is today.
Just to be clear, Liz Truss lives in London. Love that she thinks the Daily Star is the paper of the London elite. She is absolutely top bantz and I say as we head for an election let's have more of her on the telly
The Cass Review, an independent review of gender care services for children and young people, has been published today after almost four years. We know that elements of the review and how it is covered in the news may cause concern for trans children and young people and their loved ones.
What is important, above all, is that trans and gender-diverse children get the quality healthcare that they need and deserve. The Cass Review can play a vital role in achieving this aim, if its recommendations are implemented properly.
Many recommendations could make a positive impact – such as expanding provision of healthcare by moving away from a single national service towards a series of regional centres, while recognising that there are many different treatment pathways that trans children and young people might take. But without due care, training or further capacity in the system, others could lead to new barriers that prevent children and young people from accessing the care they need and deserve.
We urge NHS England and policymakers to read and digest the full report and consider Dr Cass' plea "to remember the children and young people trying to live their lives and the families/ carers and clinicians doing their best to support them. All should be treated with compassion and respect."
We will publish further analysis of the Cass Review and the questions it raises later today.
Sending love and solidarity to the trans community. Please take care and reach out for support if you need it:

If you needed any more evidence that the people working at CCHQ are all boys.... Lads maybe let a woman preferably one with some graphic design skills have sign off.
It will never not annoy me that Euston tube station isn’t accessible. It’s a central transport hub for half of England & I can’t get off the tube there. I have to get off at Kings Cross and push for 10-15 minutes, whilst everyone else can just sit on the tube for an extra minute!

@A1R055 @jessphillips That’s wild! Yes couldn’t be more different where i am but i know there are some stark inequalities here…and now I know how stark. Thanks
So sad to hear of Paul O’Grady’s death, what a loss to our species this is. I never met him but looked forward to his radio and TV shows. He was my top guest at my fantasy dinner party and still will be 💗 his humour and kindness shone #RipPaulOgrady 💗🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶👠💄🐶🐶🐶🐶💗
It's been two days since this article I don't feel like getting out of bed and facing questions at school or around. We have been through alot this is not fair to us. Shame on you BBC
@BBCNews
I enjoy the barely repressed fury, channelled into totally being on her fucking shit, that Jacinda displays here - after what is, quite possibly, the stupidest question ever asked.
