Medicine is so hierarchical- as trainees the person you report problems to is often someone you need to keep inside (eg the only one who can sign you off as competent for a post).

I’ll bet this represents a small part of a bigger problem… https://t.co/d1teKQS6cu

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Many young trans people and their families are hugely concerned about the puberty blockers ban.

Criticisms of the Cass review aside, this policy goes far beyond its recommendations.

At #PMQs, I asked the government to meet with those affected to understand its impact.

If someone fucking steals some bread and does his time I think that’s alright to let him compete in the olympics years later, if someone rapes a fucking child they shouldn’t be allowed to work in a fucking chip shop let alone become a ‘role model’ for children and compete.

@JoeLever89 It makes it sound like the campaign was specifically about that. Like ‘you know what they say about good cellists - they make sh*t MPs’!

[Ben Smoke @bencsmoke]

it would seem there’s money for kings, but not kids

[Samayya @sigmalphabet]

Yes it has.

And that’s why we shouldn’t trust any lawyer who doesn’t know the basics about racist policing in this country.

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

No one in the UK should have to turn to a food bank to survive.

Like and RT if you agree. 💚

when we were convicted after breaking into stansted we genuinely believed we might go to prison but, thanks to a big campaign avoided it + instead spent 100 hours in charity shop. 5 years on people being sent to jail for throwing a bit of soup on glass. stark + bleak escalation.

[Cllr Benali Hamdache AM @greenbenali]

In 1997 47 Labour rebels voted for a Lib Dem amendment to stop cuts to single parents’ welfare

No one was suspended. There were no expulsions

Blair’s Labour Party was far more tolerant of dissent. Starmer’s authoritarianism is troubling

[Dr Emma Chan @emmabelle_chan]

On a serious note - I did work in obstetrics for about a year & a half and just so you know: when pregnant people have children this is reliably the expected outcome and tends not to fill healthcare workers with amazement.

[Dr Emma Chan @emmabelle_chan]

You say that having children is the ‘most amazing thing a human being can do’, but I feel like you’ve never eaten a particularly delicious cake? 🍰

Like, you have to really *apply* yourself to do good baking and even when you do, you can still suck at it.

[Professional Truth Teller 🌹 @Robertt89575705]

@PennyRed It's not about simply "owing" men babies. Having children is the most amazing thing a human being can do, and it makes being a woman very special and beutiful. I'm pretty sure you'll get more fulfillment from having children as opposed to dying your hair and drinking starbucks

[Dr Emma Chan @emmabelle_chan]

Me and my brothers are alright - but my Mum’s coffee and walnut cake is LEGENDARY

Women don’t owe the world children.

They don’t owe men babies.

And they don’t owe you an explanation.

📺 "The Government has an opportunity to lift 300,000 children out of poverty."

@EllieChowns discusses Labour's decision not to lift the cruel two-child benefit cap on LBC Cross Question.

[Pete Paphides @petepaphides]

Blood stocks have dropped to "unprecedentedly low" levels in England this month. Currently there are only 1.6 days worth of stocks in reserve – well below the six day target. It's really easy to donate. Go to https://t.co/oagJZjAbdq or call 0300 123 23 23.

No money in the pot, eh?

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

Me and my 4 siblings relied on child tax credits growing up. My dad worked at the Vauxhall factory and later as a taxi driver but he suffered 3 heart attacks and a brain haemorrhage which impacted his ability to work. If the two-child limit was in place, we would suffer severely.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Keir Starmer just suspended Labour MPs for voting in support of his own leadership promise.

Amazing

[Apsana Begum MP @ApsanaBegumMP]

In East London, we have some of the highest rates of child poverty in the UK.

I will be voting to scrap the two child benefit cap today.
