@easyJet can’t check in for my flight tomorrow LPL - PMI yet you are still selling seats on the flight? Can you help?

@merseyrail just witnessed appalling treatment of an elderly disabled passenger by a @merseyrail conductor at Liverpool central for the 1200 Ormskirk.

Read my letter to @_KateForbes urging @scotgov to provide free bus travel to asylum seekers in Scotland 👇.

It would cost around £360k a year - just 0.0005% of the Scottish Government's budget.

For such small change, it would make a huge difference.

Wow. I honestly want to weep for myself when I think of the way I devoured this shite while living in a fat body. I don’t even remember thinking it was bad, that’s how engrained in me my own self-disgust was.

This morning, @BBCr4today, gave their prominent platform of Thought for the Day to a Catholic commentator who proceeded to state, unchallenged, that abortion laws in the UK "demean people with disability."

Israeli reporter with Channel 13 (a mainstream outlet) refers to today's events in Jerusalem as "resulting in no injuries." Palestinian suffering is absolutely invisible to Israeli media. The Israeli Police injured 331 Palestinians in Jerusalem today.

Derek Chauvin had 26 cases of Police Misconduct before the George Floyd incident. Twenty Six! Don't tell me it's just a 'few bad apples' when the system protected and enabled this man until his misconduct was caught on camera. #DerekChauvinTrial

[Cyrus McQueen @CyrusMMcQueen]

I don’t care if George Floyd had an addiction... What’s worse, that he was killed with drugs in his system... or that an officer with no drugs in his system, killed him mercilessly? #DerekChauvinTrial

[Kate 🪬🤍🇺🇸 @ImSpeaking13]

This case isn’t about split second decisions. Derek Chauvin had 8 minutes and 46 seconds.

[Laura Coates @thelauracoates]

We just learned during opening statements of #DerekChauvinTrial:
Bystanders called the police on the police.
A police officer watching this on camera called the police on the police.
All while bystanders and #GeorgeFloyd begged for him to be allowed to breathe.

The UK is ranked 50th-highest in the world for median age. We're ranked 36th in the world for obesity. We have one airport in the top 40 busiest airports in the world (China has 7, for example). None of these excuses work. It took me five mins to look this up. Do your job, BBC.

Two viagra for a tenner, but one morning after pill costs £15+ and involves a full life questionnaire. Why is sex 3x as expensive for women?? @BootsUK

[Caelainn Hogan @CaelainnH]

This is how an 82-year-old mother sent to Tuam had to watch the Irish government's announcement to survivors of the mother and baby institutions. They were told to take time to read the report. But Rose has no way to access it. She wants a copy in her hands. She wants justice.

If RTÉ replaced the Angelus with a minute dedicated to someone who died in the M&BH, one day dedicated per each individual, that would be 25 years for the babies alone

[Ed Davitt @davitter]

For those looking for help, advice or support in light of today's revelations, there are dedicated helplines set up for all of the country.

No better day than today to think about the treatment of women in Ireland and the origin of mother and baby 'homes'. Eye opening film from @malone_aisling
