Today is #DadsMHDay, a day to recognise that many dads experience mental health problems which can make it harder for them to be the father they want to be. Supporting dads is an important part of giving every baby the best start in life.

@angelamcconvill @NCTcharity Early days courses and drop-ins are such a lifeline, they can make a great difference to the experience of becoming a mother to women who come along. Sharing the reality of new motherhood, reducing isolation, and improving health & well-being

[Russell Davies @RRussellDavies]

Very bad news that R4's 'More or Less' programme ends its series next week. It's much the best check we have on the government's relentless fiddling with, withholding of, and meaningless maximising of virus testing figures. Can't the run be extended? @BBCRadio4

Coronavirus leaves one in 10 UK charities facing bankruptcy this year https://t.co/IrWy9w3v1w

Arrived in the post today. Publication date is June 25th - well done to the team from Aster in making it look so good and also a big heartfelt thanks to Lindsay Clarke for his beautiful writing, and to the amazing Dr Helen Kingston and Jenny Hartnoll for their incredible work.

When you're at the start of your journey, it can be incredibly difficult to see a life without the black cloud of mental illness.The bravest thing you can do, is to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Whether that's reaching out, taking medication, exercise, or self care

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Imagine

1 a mum on maternity leave
2 Covid has shut her workplace
3 her colleagues are furloughed under #CJRS

If her leave ends after 10 June - tomorrow - she can’t be furloughed, so cd lose her job

Surely @RishiSunak you recognise the unfairness of this?

[Margaret Hodge @margarethodge]

So now I'm told I can't take part virtually in the emergency debate on Monday about virtual access to Parliament. I'm being disenfranchised from my right to debate my own disenfranchisement! Utter madness.

“As a nurse, I encounter structural racism every day" Donna Kinnair on #bbcqt.

Her full title is Professor Dame Donna Kinnair, but this was missed out of her name tag.

Hugh Pennington’s title - Professor - was not missed out.

[Susan Bewley @susan_bewley]

Brilliant animation showing the cumulative deaths worldwide day by day globally. So educational about 'usual causes' & were Covid-19 fits in (& this is still early days..). Do share @HealthWatchUK @pash22 @Johnrashton47 @trishgreenhalgh @mgtmccartney https://t.co/OPkirR8C4V

Arrogance, complacency, obfuscation & double standards ...

Business as usual from Jacob Rees Mogg

By cancelling hybrid proceedings, he’s creating a 2-tier parliament, silencing those who cannot be in London, putting staff at risk, & running roughshod over public health advice

[Harry Smith @smitharrytv]

I never thought, in my lifetime, I would ever put out an appeal to Conservative MPs and party members but you all have a grave and urgent responsibility to your country to get rid of this completely incompetent oaf you foisted on us as a leader ASAP

#Covid19UK Watching the #dailybreifing - Culture Sec Oliver Dowden just said 'people who suffer with disabilities...'

Just 'people with disabilities' is fine, thank you. Words matter
