Sanity. Thank goodness.
Now let’s ensure women - in the NHS or anywhere - can get changed without their privacy, safety & dignity being breached.
⁦Time to end further confusion & for @bphillipsonMP⁩ to release the EHRC guidance

I grew up in an era when mainstream women’s magazines told girls they needed to be thinner and prettier.

Now mainstream women’s magazines tell girls that men are better women than they are.

Adults can't hit other adults to punish bad behaviour but when it comes to children, astoundingly the law in England and Northern Ireland allows for 'reasonable punishment' - so children are less protected than adults!

There is no justification for physically punishing children, and evidence of negative impact is overwhelming: damaging healthy development, and increasing their risk  of experiencing mental health problems and emotional and behavioural difficulties.

The law in England needs to catch up with Wales, Scotland and many other countries to uphold children’s rights and give them equal protection from assault.

That's why I've signed an open letter to the Prime Minister calling for an end to the defence of 'reasonable punishment' in England.

The letter, which I've endorsed alongside numerous charities, experts and professionals, is being handed in at Number 10 today.

So many people are going to get ill and die over the next few years listening to medical advice from the ‘inject your veins with disinfectant’ guy.

Shame on you: England will not boycott Afghanistan match in Champions Trophy

We will just have to keep up the pressure. Women matter more than cricket. (Share token).

@Saramac7 What a small minded, inconsiderate patient. Thank you for all you do. They might need those 28 minutes in their next consultation although they deserve to be told to sling their hook will be cared for by someone amazing like you. I hope you at have time off over Xmas to rest.

@McDonaldsUK Hi I visited your McDonalds in Asda, Taunton this evening. Your staff member Brian was so lovely with a customer with additional needs, kind, patient and giving him as much time as he needed. Was really lovely to see. Brian was a complete ⭐️.

@SirPuppetPaul @FelicityHannah Lessons aren’t long enough for any actual cooking! We had many ridiculous things like this requested then came home half raw! Not to mention shaken from the bike ride home!
