I've just shared my hope for cancer care with my new MP so that everyone living with cancer in the UK receives the best care in the world. Will you send your hope to your MP and make your voice heard? https://t.co/YjPMLDxSCG
And finally, in a few weeks I'll be handing over to the brilliant @Jack_Wakefield to run Macmillan's Campaigns team.
It's a year of change politically + organisationally and I can't wait to see what he achieves with this marvellous team.
Cheering you all from the sidelines💪
Plus 2 more weeks on the Communities taskforce for Macmillan's org strategy. Crunch time for our final recommendations.
It's been a brilliant 3 months asking what it would take for us to work more equitably in communities. The org so needs this change:

And just 2 more days (touch wood, don't want to jinx it) completing 9 months of building works in our place. - a wild ride.
Saw this accurate meme on Insta for 'going into a renovation' vs 'coming out of a renovation'. Entrenched decision fatigue. What even is my taste?!
2 more weeks before Family Leave starts for tot no. 2. Terrifying/exciting.
Surrendering to the impossibility of planning how it will work... And reminding myself that people have had multiple children for millennia. My midwife mentioned a local woman who'd had TEN 🤯
Any tips?
This year there will be a General Election. This is our chance to make the UK the best place in the world to grow up and put #ChildrenAtTheTable. Ask the next Prime Minister to be a champion for children – sign the petition now. https://t.co/0Jy5ZnW3wP

What are we waiting for?
Feeling very proud today to have gradually transformed Samaritans' campaigns function over the last 2.5 years - with support from amazing colleagues - to the point where we have the confidence and depth of campaign strategy to produce an impactful stunt like this. More to come!
We need politicians in Northern Ireland to get back to work, resume governing and start to fix cancer care.
The Cancer Strategy must be fully funded and implemented without delay.
As a family experiencing what its like to have a loved one go through cancer, I can tell you we certainly need multi year health budgets, a credible & funded workforce plan and investment in Cancer Nurse Specialists. We need an Exec for that.
Feeling VERY proud of my excellent Northern Ireland colleagues who pulled off a massive stunt at Stormont today with 90+ people living with cancer.
Cancer survivors have criticised MLAs for "deserting" NI's health system.
What are we waiting for?

Glad to come across this #DitchTheGingerBiscuit campaign.
While I am incredibly grateful to be pregnant again, I absolutely HATE the feeling of pregnancy with so much throwing up, fatigue & accompanying low spirits.
People saying 'have you tried ginger biscuits?' doesn't help!
Will you help us ensure that every HG sufferer has access to a healthcare professional equipped to treat the condition effectively?
Our #DitchTheGingerBiscuit campaign launches tomorrow! Find out how to get involved on our @BigGive page https://t.co/fXjeJlUTzv

This was a great session by @BreastDocUK. Getting cancer seems a little less terrifying (if that’s possible) once you know the incredible progress that’s being made in treatments. Bravo
@BreastDocUK telling us about the advances in cancer:
➡️ circulating tumour DNA to detect recurrence
➡️ antibody dependent conjugates... cell-directed chemotherapy

#macmillanprimarycareconference2023
#MacmillanPrimaryCareConf2023 - so enjoying being surrounded by bright and brilliant GPs, care coordinators and people living with cancer like the awe-inspiring Sbba.
A very optimistic event discussing what can be improved and all the innovations on the horizon 👌
It is NOT islamaphobic to detest, as I do, Hamas for the murder of Israelis
It is NOT anti-Semitic to detest, as I do, Netanyahu’s Govt for its treatment of Palestinians
It IS Islamaphobic or anti-Semitic to attack Muslims or Jews for the actions of Hamas or Netanyahu’s Govt
📢 #BreakingNews! @RishiSunak has proposed raising the age of sale of tobacco and announced new funding for tobacco control. We’ve been calling for this as part of our #SmokefreeUK campaign. This is a critical step to creating the first ever smokefree generation.
