@rich_thomas99 @SUMediaComm Exciting news for you all. Such interesting research in the current times we live in.

Thank you to @GWandShows for a wonderful, uplifting and beautiful hour of television. It goes way beyond plants: it’s moving, full of hope and a drop of tranquility 💜🌸🌱🥀 #gardens #GardenersWorld

I cannot even begin to comprehend this mindset. I used to feel this after covering horrendous court cases, how can anyone do and say these things? A Barrister reminded me if I ever could comprehend, that was the time to start worrying.

Kate McCann says, "So it's acceptable to joke about raping a woman?" And Carl Benjamin says - well, shouts - "YES! ANY QUESTIONS?" The thing is Carl: you don't look like you're joking. You look like you're consumed with rage.

@SKinnock And just like that you render Labour utterly unelectable.

[Cat Hepple @cathepple]

@OxfordDiplomat @KateEMcCann It’s so disturbing. Deeply, deeply disturbing.

@Andrew_Adonis I can’t vote for Corbyn or a Leave party. The Remaim vote will be split amongst Greens and others and Brex will win. Labour has missed the boat. A landslide victory lost by a leader who ensures they are unelectable.

@cnicholls8 @Jodie_Williams4 @KellySimmo1 Thanks Craig. Will look you up. Yesterday my daughter won the American shoot out, knocking out a boy player all the others think is v good. The boys then told her he was better than her and should have won. I’d love to see the sport more supportive.

I dropped my daughter off at a football camp today- she's one of just 3 girls there. The coaches referred to the group as " fellas", "lads" & " boys". It's this kind of everyday sexism which carelessly drips feeds into the lives of girls & women. #sexism #footballcoach #football

[Cat Hepple @cathepple]

@Jodie_Williams4 @KellySimmo1 Thank you. I’ll drop you an email.

[Cat Hepple @cathepple]

@KellySimmo1 Thanks so much. I will.

@TheRunway_ @C4Locations Insane money for awful house !!

@JFCCB13 @TwitterMktgUK @Anna_Kessel @WomeninFootball @WomensSport @FA Has he seen the England women’s team in action ?!

[Cat Hepple @cathepple]

@Emma042198 Yes they do and I did point out to the coaches yesterday that language choices matter. They insisted they are not sexist but their language most certainly was.

[Cat Hepple @cathepple]

@JFCCB13 @TwitterMktgUK @Anna_Kessel @WomeninFootball @WomensSport @FA That’s a good way to handle it. My daughter said she’s going to assume when they say lads and fellas that the instruction doesn’t apply to her - that’s my girl

[Cat Hepple @cathepple]

@LittleOlivia7 @mrjakehumphrey @Anna_Kessel @KellySimmo1 @Roodie_roo @SarBareman @suesmith8 I’m really sorry to read about your experiences. For too long it’s been the norm and what you are doing is challenging that to change. It’s fantastic.

My Masters research lookednat this very issue and this is an excellent discussion of an important issue. #journalism #emotions

@corinne_podger @mattcooke_uk @DianeKemp1 @cathwebber I have 22 years+ Journalism expertise at national BBC level, just did an MA in Journalism and I've been met with a lot of suspicion trying to re-enter the workforce after a child. Add to that being in your 40's and you realise the loss of talent and expertise from the industry.
