Anyone coming out of the queue after finally seeing the queen lying in state and thinking ‘that was not the best use of my time?’ Be honest.. #QueenElizabeth

I’ve never seen this before and it makes the hounding of them by the British tabloids even more grotesque

[BPAS @BPAS1968]

We are a pro-choice country.

A small handful of individuals sat around the Cabinet table cannot and will not be allowed to rollback a woman’s right to choose.

Midwives are leaving the profession and that is absolutely because of pay - the average midwife is £7,000 worse off than they were 10 years ago. It's also the stress, the burnout, the fuel poverty' RCM's Suzanne Tyler @RcmSuz told @LondonAssembly this week https://t.co/7J7nJqsinR

Functional health facilities, more supplies, more midwives, better remuneration, autonomy, respect, dignity…. And the list goes on. This is what midwives globally are asking for so as to be able to offer quality health care #IDM2022 @UNFPAKen @WRAglobal @WRA_K @world_midwives

"We often look at immigration with a security lens—but I’m a child of immigrants.
I will follow the story of one little girl who was separated at the border because it matters differently to me than it matters to other people." @IAmAmnaNawaz #WMMSummit22

Representation matters.

Female landord when I contact her about a broken boiler which she has failed multiple times to fix: ‘can I speak to your partner, you’re clearly hormonal’ 🤬🤬😱😱

Respectfully, and with every ounce of political, personal, and professional decorum I can muster: FUCK. THIS.

[Rachel Firth @RachelFirth17]

Is this some sort of sick joke @UKGovTweets @Independent @PoliticsForAlI

[Women in Dev @WomenDev]

Disappointing. The UK government is cutting spending on international development and foreign aid from 0.7% to 0.5%.
