Perhaps stories like this put pressure on breastfeeding women to go back to being superwomen before they're ready, or perhaps you might just say well done, impressive feat. Either way, it seems relevant to me, as a #breastfeeding mum

@SkyNews @LizKershawDJ @bindelj #SkyPapers breastfeeding highly relevant to physical feats: breastfeeding uses up lots of calories, impedes fat loss and delays the return of tendons and ligaments to their pre-pregnancy strength.

My great great uncle was a member of a far left Jewish group called the Bundists. They believed antisemitism would disappear through international socialism. When war began he went to communist Russia to find his utopia. He was put in a gulag for being a Jew. Never seen again.

Alana, my newborn daughter, napping on a hot afternoon watching her first (of many) @dcc1771 games of cricket. Box Hill in the background. @Bugaboo #bugaboofox hopefully keeping her cool.

7 platforms at @LondonWaterloo completely empty in rush hour. @SW_Help another #trainmare

[Laragh Widdess @LaraghWid]

@SW_Help @LondonWaterloo Not just issue with screens, staff were not giving out correct messages to compensate - they had no idea what was going on.

[Laragh Widdess @LaraghWid]

@SW_Help @LondonWaterloo Platform staff say they had no idea it was the Dorking train or why it wasn't updated on the screen. #trains #delays #fml

[Laragh Widdess @LaraghWid]

@SW_Help @LondonWaterloo Now I have to wait an hour for the next one after a 12 hour day at work, when I was STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT AS IT PULLED AWAY!!!

[Laragh Widdess @LaraghWid]

.@SW_Help @LondonWaterloo My Dorking train pulls away, screens showing 'delayed' and no platform, staff unaware, I find out 5 mins later

[Laragh Widdess @LaraghWid]

Yes, where are they @SkyCricket !? https://t.co/mBZdiSn7Hz

On his 77th birthday, worth a lesson in acting from Sir Patrick Stewart. Happy birthday @SirPatStew! #acting

@ST_Culture what was the book reviewed on 11th June about American heiresses marrying into British aristocracy? Thanks :-)

[Laragh Widdess @LaraghWid]

@BenChu_ @IndyVoices Seems to me he's using the "inexorable truths" of "soft" and "hard" Brexits in a lazy way. Does he not consider ending FOM "hard"?

[Laragh Widdess @LaraghWid]

@BenChu_ @IndyVoices Where's his "technical analysis" of how there might not be a majority in the commons for ending FOM? Seems clear there would be.

[Laragh Widdess @LaraghWid]

@myersjoel Of course! I'd be honoured! Just give me the brief :-)

[Laragh Widdess @LaraghWid]

Spot on. Same phenomenon: anti-establishment, unfitness for office seen as badge of honour. https://t.co/091vxQyIVz

I am always astounded how much Corbyn fans on Twitter sound like Trump fans on Twitter

[Laragh Widdess @LaraghWid]

@swtrains_watch @richardj154d @SW_Trains @railandroad @transportgovuk @CommonsTrans All worked out. I'm grateful to the guy who let us onto the train at Dorking, and grateful to the train guard for his professionalism.

[Laragh Widdess @LaraghWid]

@swtrains_watch @richardj154d @SW_Trains @railandroad @transportgovuk @CommonsTrans The guard couldn't sell me a ticket but he informed barrier guards at my destination to let me through so I could buy a ticket there.
