It’s estimated that one in five women in the UK will experience a miscarriage in their lifetime.
But if you lose a pregnancy before 24 weeks, there is currently no legal right to bereavement leave.
I don’t think that’s right.
Losing a pregnancy can be devastating. You and your partner shouldn’t have to worry about going straight back to work.
So we’re changing the law.
From April, women and their partners will be entitled to two weeks off after any pregnancy loss.
And we’re making wider changes, with new rights to time off when you lose someone you love.
When you’re grieving, you deserve the time and space to do that.
What a great resource I’ve just been sent. Thank you @Dublinate
You just type in your surname and you can see where it’s historically and recently found in GB, associated first names, ethnic origin, characteristics of the areas etc.

Paula Vennells.
In her 7 year tenure as CEO of the Post Office she waltzed off with £5.1 Mn; around £2.2 Mn coming from performance related incentives and pension in lieu payments.
Yet postmasters/mistresses are still waiting for their compensation.

Why are we rewarding Donald Trump with a state visit from our King?
His illegal war is driving up costs for British families and he is belittling our country and insulting our troops.
Cancel the visit.
Spain’s MEP Irene Montero:
“Danger doesn’t walk the streets.
It wears a suit and tie.
It boards private jets.
It flies to Epstein’s island.
Where are the prison sentences for those criminals?
When the powerful are rapists, it isn’t a glitch in the system. It is the system.”
Sometimes if feels naive to be posting about bees amongst the rancid, the depraved, the violence, the lies, the evil, the soulless, the demise of humanity…but maybe we represent for the decent, the innocent, the underdogs, the gentle…or maybe we’re just naive…yeah just naive…

‘Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light’ is a jewel in the crown of the BBC, and to my mind one of the greatest television adaptations of all time. Epic politics and intimate religion distilled to sublime prose, and quite brilliantly acted.
RIP Hilary Mantel.🙏
