Popping up to share my news that I am pregnant, as a gestational #surrogate for some wonderful parents. Baby due in the summer. All glorious.

and here's a blog about my experiences of a high-risk pregnancy in our under-resourced NHS...

I had an uncle who passed recently, and he owned one of the largest Star Trek collections in the country (USA). This is 4 of over 90 pictures required to document 3+ entire rooms stacked with nothing but #startrek pls share it around, I want to give it a good home.

So loved appearing on Play Away with Brian Cant. Oh what joy and fun we created for children. I hope all the kids in the audience enjoyed the show as much as we did. I wonder what they are doing now! ❤️❤️

In memory of #ArmitaGeravand

A childhood picture from her sister Ava's Instagram page. Armita was killed by Iran’s morality police on the Tehran metro last year for not wearing hijab.

On the day Armita chose to defy the hijab mandate, her father expressed concern for her safety. Armita's response was one of quiet defiance and hope - 'Dad, one day you will be proud of my hair.'

First watch the video on the left. And if the second video doesn’t at least raise a smile, it’s likely you don’t have a pulse ⬇️

Here's a half-arsed school-night minute-long kid's ditty (to the 🎶 of Michael Finnegan) about the @michelledonelan @UKRI_News £15k libel non-liability saga. PS Yes yes, we're saving our 2p National Insurance windfall to put towards better lights. Enjoy, esp. @ucu @UCUScotland😉

i don’t understand how palestine got a reputation in the rightwing imagination as being especially anti gay, but - the point is, i live in a homophobic and transphobic country too, and that’s no argument for the carpet bombing of my neighbourhood or checkpoints on my street

@MartinDaubney @NicolaSturgeon No she wanted the professionals in the prison service to risk assess this.

While were talking about Tracy Chapman, let’s remember this fantastic performance as one of the final musical guests on Letterman.

This BR poster from the 1970s appeared on my timeline. It's rather striking for its time, and even today says a lot.

I had to post this again after I’d watched the @Channel4 programme To Catch a Copper

It did everything to show why I repeatedly say that #police so called Professional Standards are entirely unfit for purpose. It truly is police marking their own homework and holds no one truly to account.

And I think anyone who has watched this will understand exactly why I say what I say, repeatedly!!

We need to throw it all out and start totally from scratch. Only then will we see real change and real accountability!!

“Tough Watch” indeed - time for they to have outside regulators
Qudos to @ASPolice for being so open. Time for overhaul #ToCatchACopper

[Michael Morgan @mikecmorgan]

The second ‘To Catch a Copper’ is out tonight, at 9pm, on Ch 4.

A straight no chaser episode proving snide cowardly coppers cannot be policed by their colleagues.

Covering racism, without the usual copaganda, it’s another tough but mandatory watch.

[Finer Things @finerthings2017]

Anyone else veer between being stotting angry and just wide-eyed dumbfounded watching @Channel4 #ToCatchACopper
Time for independent regulation that also informs police recruitment! ASAP #UKPolice
Qudos to @ASPolice to be open, certainly shining a light, walking towards change
