Idea: Offer asylum, no questions asked, for Afghan women and girls only, to any country. Let’s see what happens when Afghanistan is left to the men alone.

The night Britain stood up to far right racist fascist thugs who attacked our police, set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers and looted shoe shops, lush and even ran of with trays of sausage rolls

Contrary to populist opinion and rhetoric, most Brits are not racists, most Brits are welcoming, most Brits understand that without immigrants our services like the NHS would collapse, most Brits understand the richness diversity of cultures brings to our communities, most Brits are good decent people, and we should always remember that the minority of racist far right thugs - who have even been egged on by populist leaders including some who now sit in our parliament today - do not represent wider society. We, the British people, are much much better than that 👏

Love, not hate. Peace 🙏

After the shocking attack in Southport and far-right riots that followed, it's clear that communities across the UK need our support.

✍️ Please join us in urging MPs to prioritise cohesion and support Southport and communities facing similar challenges: https://t.co/xGyaQXKW73

Must watch first speech in parliament by Keir Starmer in which he tears into 14 years of Conservative failure and outlines how Labour will do better - long watch but refreshing

Keir Starmer, "Whilst I respect the tone of leader of the opposition Rishi Sunak's contribution, I can't stop my mind wandering to 9 months ago when he was at this dispatch box"

"His political hero Nigel Lawson said: to govern is to chose, and everyday serving the people of this country is a chance to make a difference for them"

"Yet Mr Speaker, the last King's speech was the day the veil of Rishi Sunak's choices slipped.. And we all saw a party, his party, content to let our countries problems fester.. Content to push aside the national interest.. As they focused almost entirely on trying to save their own skins"

"No more wedge issues.. No more gimmicks.. No more party political strategies masquerading as politics.. This is an agenda focused entirely on delivering for the people of this country.. Legislation for the national interest.. To make people better off.. Solve problems not exploit them"

"With each day that passes, my government is finding new and unexpected marks of their corruption.. Scars of the last 14 years where politics was put above the national interest.. Decline deep in the marrow of our institutions"

"We've seen it in our prisons.. In our rivers and seas.. It's even worse than we thought.. We see it in our councils, not even able to deliver services for children with special educational needs"

"The work of change has begun"

@AnnaSeverwright proposes we tell a better story about social care at the launch of the #ASCworkforcestrategy. We contribute to this better story through @GM_ICP @GM_AHP AHP ASC workforce scoping. The strategy will happen through powerful partnerships

This is a genuine question(s) - Why isn't there a #DisabilityPride march in London (and/or disability pride marches in cities around the UK)?

What do people think about the idea of disability pride marches?

#DisabilityPrideMonth

[rachel hemingway @hemingways2001]

Fantastic example of #rehab and #personcentredcare through #AHP therapy in a care home. We are seeking to build on these collaborations in @GM_ICP @musicinmind_org

What a wonderful story. Staff at a care home have credited #MusicTherapy with helping to get this 98-year-old resident, Edna, back on her feet.

@wythsalt @kateomeara1 @EllieDixonSLT Yes good luck @wythsalt your project will get people home sooner and enable efficient decision making with the patient at the centre. Gather all the evidence you can and let us know how it goes! 🤩

"It's one of the most joyous things any of us have ever experienced. It's really changed how we view music and what it can do for people."
