I’m a parent to a so called “ghost child”. Everyone knows where she is: the school, the LA, her GP, her paediatrician, Early Help, CAMHS. And they all know why she’s not at school. Her SENCO is great but the wider system has let her down. Fix the #SEND system, support the kid.
The extreme Right are very loud rather than very popular. But as long as the media mistake loudness for popularity, the extreme Right will keep getting more airtime than their rivals. That’s not to underestimate the very real frustrations with politics that many of their supporters feel, but it does give us the first very real sign that the march of the Far Right is not as relentless and unstoppable as they would browbeat us into believing. It’ll be hard work and demand full attention, but they CAN be stopped. And that gives me hope.
Thank you for all your lovely messages. What an incredible, special day spent with family & friends. Especially my amazing parents who came here as Indian Muslim immigrants & worked so very hard. It is genuinely the honour of my life to join the House of Lords as a Labour peer.
Oh wow I’ve just seen my mentions and this has blown up. thanks everyone. It’s such a huge privilege to get to talk about these topics on @thismorning ❤️🙏
So... it’s happening 🤯
@thismorning contacted me to ask whether I would come on the show and I said... YES 💍
Tomorrow morning I will have the chance to show that a gluten free Christmas dinner is both easy to do and delicious & that us gluten free folk ain’t difficult or a problem 🙃
What things would you like me to mention most? (if I get the chance... it’s live TV but all I can do is try my best 🧡)
I’m really grateful for this opportunity on behalf of the entire coeliac and gluten free community. I really hope you will tune in and support me 😇 I’m quite nervous! Thank you to everyone who requested for me to be on the show - it means a lot!
Today on ITV's @thismorning , coeliac disease was discussed during a phone in segment on the show. We are deeply concerned about the content and advice given to a caller attending a Christmas family event where all of the food will be gluten free to protect the health of a person with coeliac disease. We are actively following up with @ITV . You can read our open letter in the comments below, and will share any responses we receive.
In the meantime we ask you to contact This Morning to ask them to give an apology to our gluten free community on air for this damaging and inaccurate information, and to engage with Coeliac UK to ensure their information is accurate in future.
How can Sunak stand by while police are being attacked by far right thugs who followed the whistle of his Home Secretary. She attacked the police, she said they were biased, she made us and our police less safe.
People. Actual people. Actual people who get paid to do it, sat in a room and constructed that list of pledges for Seven Bins Sunak to read out. And then they passed it round and all felt it was completely reasonable and then the leader of a nation went on telly and said them. 🤷♀️
Absolutely loved @FlawBored at the #edinburghfringe - powerful, important, hilarious & hot! All the best things. See them whenever you get a chance/next year 💓
