Anyone with basic nursing training would have recognised the signs of neonatal sepsis in Joshua rather than dismissing his symptoms as ‘normal’ & falsely reassuring my wife & I he was ‘absolutely fine’ when we raised our concerns. How many other families have similar stories?
Too many families in Nottingham were ignored when they raised concerns about maternity care.
That must never happen again.
Following the independent @OckReview, we're taking action to protect women and babies including rolling out Martha's Rule.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.
🚨 We have ten crews in attendance at a fire on Hayes Lane, Lye area of Stourbridge. As a precaution, if you live or work nearby, please keep doors and windows closed. Avoid the area, where possible.
As the sunrises on a new year, whatever you got up to last night we hope you had a wonderful evening💚
How ever you rang in the new year, if there was drink involved please be careful this morning getting in your cars, you may still be over the limit 🚫

Today is two and a half years since Beatrice died and was born.
I'm so proud of my beautiful girl, and so sad that I have to share the same few photos over and over again, because there will never be any new ones. No record of her growing up.

I believe it’s my duty to make a difference wherever & whenever so I’m pleased to announce that I will be Independent
Chair of the Church of England’s National Safeguarding Panel, providing scrutiny & advice to those tasked with protecting the most vulnerable
Important work
Every single death at #Grenfell was avoidable
Every mourning family suffers because “saving money” was more important than “saving lives��
It was my privilege to meet these families, whose strength leaves me awestruck
They’ve waited for justice, now it’s time to give it to them
I don’t care that it’s “legal” because the Taliban say it is
Slavery was “Legal”
Colonialism was “Legal”
Apartheid was “Legal”
Legality is a matter of Power, NOT Justice
Women should choose what they want to wear & how they live their lives - NOT men
