For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to @HGSupportUK. I've chosen this charity because they really helped me when I was suffering with extreme pregnancy sickness, and I hope that you'll consider contributing. #hyperemesisGravidarum#HG

The dinosaurs all quit their jobs because their boss is horrible, business suffers as a result, the boss then offers them better working conditions so they return to work. Highly recommended. 10/10
Got this book out of the library the other day and it is THE BEST book for 4 year olds. My son's choice as it's got dinosaurs in. Turns out it is about #TradeUnionism. https://t.co/OCxUJwBCaE
@EdinburghZoo hi! New soft play is good but for parents there on their own there is no way to get a drink or food once your kid is in the soft play without taking them out, or leaving them there and going really far away the other side of the room out of sight to get your drink.
@pauldegregorio Hi! In the benchmarks report, I understand median is used to average between organisations, but was median also used by each contributing organisation to report their average gifts, do you know? i.e. I should use my client's median gift to compare, not mean?
@RNIB can you have a word with @Edinburgh_CC about bins please? They wont collect bins unless they are "kerbside" I.e. On the pavement. Bad for wheelchair users, pushchairs and visually impaired people!
There will be women tonight dreading their partner coming home. Football does not cause domestic abuse, but it can become more frequent or severe after big games, with reporting increasing by 38% when England lose.

I bet every time youโve victim blamed a woman and said, โwhy didnโt she just leave?โ
You hadnโt considered โincase he ties up her and her family and kills them all with a crossbowโ, as one of the options.
We know for most women, the most dangerous moment in abuse is when they try to leave. You are most likely to be seriously attacked or killed as you leave, or just after you leave.
That was certainly true for me. Twice. One time resulted in lifelong injuries. Both resulted in police investigations and arrests. Just from choosing to end the relationship.
So next time you learn that a woman is stuck in abuse and canโt/wonโt leave, maybe reserve your judgement and consider how much risk she knows she is at.
My feed is full of new Labour MPs and I am so pleased for them.
5 years ago I wanted to be an MP, but since becoming a parent I don't want to work full time.
I wish MP job-shares were a thing!
Did you know they have a family room in Parliament? While I get a nursery place organised Iโll be bringing Eli plus a carer for him with me and using this room a lot!!
Delighted to be working with @bphillipsonMP again on our equality agenda.
As Minister for Women and Equalities, I will deliver our plans to support women and girls, advance race equality, break new ground for LGBT+ rights and stand up for disabled people.
Change starts now.
