@VirginAtlantic @Coeliac_UK are you aware of others having this issue?

[Halle💙 @Hall355t]

@VirginAtlantic Two flights, two gluten free meals served with gluten containing items. I notified staff after 1st flight and told "processes would be improved". 10 days later... Same issue. If I did not read English I would now be suffering weeks of pain. Not acceptable.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Complex post traumatic stress (C-PTSD) is often misdiagnosed as ADHD, depression, bipolar, anxiety, or other mental health disorders.

C-PTSD is not yet recognized as an official diagnosis.

Symptoms include:
-hyper-vigilance
-inability to pay attention
-dissociation
-“mood swings”
-low self worth
-inability to self regulate
-history attachment issues in relationships (ex: abandonment fears)
-overall distrust
-emotional flooding and/or flashbacks
-inability to emotionally regulate

Complex post traumatic stress typical comes from long-term trauma in childhood.

Ex:
-verbally or physical abuse, shaming
-witnessing dysfunctional relationships
-chronic chaos (unpredictability)
-parents who couldn’t emotionally regulate
-bullying
-emotionally absent parents
-financial insecurity and chronic stress
-sibling abuse
-addicted parents

When children are helpless to leave an unsafe or insecure environment, the body remembers. It remains in a threat state.

There is healing for C-PTSD: somatic healing/therapy, self healing, movement (ex: dance therapy), nutritional approaches, attachment therapy, and mind body practices like yoga all can be a part of an integrative approach.

Retweet for awareness.

Boris Johnson has been giving interviews saying “Brexit saved lives”

Now listen to the shocking evidence given by former Health Secretary Matt Hancock to the covid inquiry today

It’s #RefugeeWeek

Refugees are extraordinarily ordinary people, folk who’ve survived the unimaginable, who’ve stood against regimes, oppression, war, fought to keep themselves & their families safe. Battle daily for survival in our asylum system.

My son was turned away despite being suicidal, because CAMHS doesn’t recognise mental health issues in autistic children.

🧵 The truth about the "Bibby Stockholm" barge the Tories plan to use to house 500 migrants.

The company that owns it states it's designed for up to 222 people accommodated in 222 single rooms.

I agree that the ethnicity should be made known. The majority of grooming gangs are

>>> WHITE <<<

Think Epstein, Andrew, Trump & mates, and perhaps even a few MPs in the UK.

Frequenting brothels, facing criminal charges. . .

The government should deal with child sexual abuse properly - not manipulate stereotypes for its own gain.Not only do its claims go against the overall evidence (including its own)-but they exceptionalise one situation, overlook so many victims & detract from so many offenders.2/

[Lou Calvey @LouCalvey]

And now they want to punish people making irregular crossings by closing the asylum system.

Set up a system you know excludes refugees & then punish them for trying to survive their exclusion.

It is really that simple & that dreadful. Just plainly awful.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

I wish I were shocked…

That Serco got the contract for 109 asylum hotels

That Serco's CEO is the brother of a former Tory MP

That his partner is a Tory Party donor

That Serco's former top spin doctor was the Tory Minister for Health:

So this illegal & immoral #RefugeeBanBill passes second reading, 312 to 270, trashing international law, running roughshod over human rights, & shaming us all. It’s not refugees who are threat to this country, it’s the Tory government. But opposition will only grow #StopTheBill

Tomorrow our wonderful Junior Doctors will stage a 72 hour walk out.

They are desperate, overworked and underpaid. This cannot go on.

The government is happy to watch the NHS crumble. Well NHS staff are not.

Retweet to show your support!

I asked the Home Secretary whether she would start collecting data on children going missing from hotels. The response doesn't even come close to answering the question. If Ministers can't even answer simple questions, how on Earth can we rely on them to keep children safe?

If you need to leave the ECHR in order to do be able to do something, then whatever it is you shouldn’t be doing it anyway.

[Chloë Reeves @Chl0eReeves]

The Princess of Wales looks to be launching a sincere & thoughtful campaign, but it's kind of wild that Sure Start was an evidence-based solution to the problems she's raising, was evaluated and found to be wonderfully successful, and we're sort of pretending it wasn't cut.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

What we’ve learned this morning is that benefitting from improperly disclosed offshore tax avoidance does not seem to represent a breach of the Ministerial Code, but not telling the truth about whether you are under tax investigation is. Surely both should be barred?
