Regardless of tribalism, โEmptihadโ taunts etc. it is not a good look that a 7,000-capacity training ground stadium is pockmarked by empty seats at kick-off for an FA Youth Cup final when more than 67,000 were inside Old Trafford for the 2022 final.
@EastMidRailway complete & utter shambles en route St P to #Sheffield. Delayed departure due "congestion", massive overcrowding, aircon fails so stop ages in Leics, 1 min *after* leaving Leics you announce terminate in Derby. Not train managers fault - "service" disgrace. #EMR
So - @ManUtdWomen are playing @FCBfrauen in Champions League qtr-final tonight. Only TV coverage is on Disney?!?! Give me strength - QF between 2 of biggest clubs in the world & nothing on any mainstream channel ๐ก Women's sport *still* the poor relation ๐คฆโโ๏ธ

@parthaskar@BT1DUK@DiabetesUK@NHSEngland@DHSCgovuk After 50 yrs of #T1D my hba1c was pretty "good", but night hypos persisted & decades of disturbed sleep took its toll. 11 months of closed loop - TIR increased from 73 to 85%, night hypos almost eradicated & I can sleep! Oh - and hba1c down from 6.8 to 6.4%. Love it - thank you๐
I fundraised for @BT1DUK for my 50 yrs diaversary in Oct, & am so grateful for the research that's made my life with #T1D easier to manage. But we're still a fair way from a cure - this shows why we need more support - thank you ๐๐

Suella Braverman asked for my help to get mat leave when she was Attorney General. As first pregnant AG she needed new rights. (I helped ofc, she took mat leave and returned to govt office) Depressing she now plans roll-back of rights for aother women! https://t.co/TtGf7qVD2E
Folk of #Sheffield trying to go to @sainsburys Archer Rd - road closed before junction with Abbeydale Rd nr Millhouses Rd - no prior warnings given - utter traffic chaos
@mariellaf1 I'd love to see how successful Man Utd would be without the benefits of considerable immigration, both off and on the pitch.... ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Realise it's difficult to calculate in quantative terms the impact upon the lives of with #T1D, additional to savings in treating longterm complications, but as someone who lived with it for 50 yrs, believe me @parthaskar yr intervention is priceless & thanks are not enough ๐๐
The wonderful news of the magic word...'Funding'
To help with transparency- and accountability?
Figures sent to each Integrated Care Board/System for 2026/27
And? Every clinical lead (doctor and nurse) informed-with direct access-as needed for amount clarification.
A 5 year roll out plan for @NICEComms - TA 943 #T1Diabetes #HybridClosedLoops
We move into Year 3- with 100 million ยฃ behind us- and a rapid uptake in children and women going through pregnancy
And the security of 347 million ยฃ till 2029 in front of us - it's time for adults.
Ringfenced
Thank you @DHSCgovuk
Plan- and deliver @NHSEngland
And to the #T1D community?
A promise made...always a promise delivered.
As a side note?
There is always a query whether being outspoken harms the actual journey or job or ability to get funding.
The answer is always...No.
You stand with your integrity- the system follows you ๐

Hi @AUFC_SC - I'm from @SPS_ISC committee - we've realised we welcome you to ours on 28 March, non-league day. Would your members be interested in a fans' penalty shoot-out at 1/2 time to mark the occasion?
If you DM me a contact e-add hopefully we could arrange?
#stormgorreti arrived a little later than forecast in #Sheffield, but some proper stuff falling in Crosspool now. Pretty but hoping not *too* much more overnight.
Don't try driving over Snake Pass!!
