The only thing women shouldn’t wear after 35 is the weight of societal expectations

The issue is not what we call this - a genocide, a crime against humanity, a war crime, etc - but that we allowed it to happen, we are complicit in it, and we will look back on all this as one of the most shameful periods in modern human history.

🧵/ The government doesn’t want you to know it, but it is currently conducting a massive, un-evidenced, cost-cutting experiment in the NHS, replacing doctors with so-called physician associates. 1/n

Because these things can get forgotten, it might be worth a reminder that parliament voted on recognition of a Palestinian State in 2014. And overwhelmingly backed it (majority of 262).

I’m aghast watching Bisan flinch at the sounds of death machines surrounding her. It’s chilling to here her talk about this being her last day. I cannot believe we are still watching Palestinians livestream their suffering. Shame on the 'leaders' who have condoned this.

Tomorrow, a crucial piece of legislation around healthcare will be scrutinised by MPs.

It will happen in a committee room, away from the main chambers, on a whisper.

If it passes, it will worsen the health of the UK population.

Did you know about it? No?

@sarahhollowell Send gift cards for ordering takeout. Bring food and do the dishes. Offer to hold the baby so they can have a guilt-free nap.

I suspect that ppl don’t wanna face their consumption habits, and therefore their complicity in the genocide in Congo. it’s not comfortable or cozy to be like “free these ppl” from a device for which those folks are DYING. but we have to.

We know lots of you are planning to assemble and protest this weekend, and we want to remind you that your rights have not changed

[Aidan Comerford @AidanCTweets]

The bit in Graham Linehan's latest interview where he says that trans people "produce no art," and that there are no great trans films, music or books is very, very dangerous rhetoric, and it shouldn't be laughed off.

That's classic dehumanisation of a minority.

* Judges can already give whole life terms for the worst offenders. We - literally - saw it this week.

* We are setting trial dates in 2025. This makes you less safe. Will they fix that?

* On Friday, 29% of courtrooms sat empty despite c.60k pending cases. Will they fix that?

Between 2012 - 2022 @AnglianWater paid shareholders £4.6 billion and now they want to put up your water bill because they didn't spend enough on infrastructure.

No doubt you'll remember that come the general election. Oh, and @ofwat did what exactly?

I cannot POSSIBLY be any clearer (as someone who worked in IT managing some of this country's biggest databases)

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANYONE PROVIDE PICTURES OF THEIR PASSPORTS OR DRIVING LICENCES

ESPECIALLY NOT
