@HPS_Vanessa Right outside my eldest daughter’s window there is a woodpigeon sitting on a nest with a fluffy chick in it and it caused much excitement the other morning. V cute.

OK, so this is what we're going to do.
We double down on support/giving networks for the people this government is going to dump on. It won't make up for the failures of the state, but we'll do our best.
We support each other with love and strength through the dark times

@rwortley1 I’ve never even questioned it, which is also extremely British.

Security Technology ⁦@UCLCrimeScience⁩ student poster event at the Home Office underway. Some great posters and lots of interest. Good opportunity for networking

I agree with scrapping the tampon tax, but in this context I'd wager it's the result of a discussion among Johnson's team which included something like:

"We need to get women voting for us. What is it they care about?"

"Dunno, periods? They're always banging on about them"
