@MBonvoyAssist Okay, I shouldn’t really have to leave my room to sort access to an app but typical shambolic Marriott service. I’ve been waiting for someone from the front desk to advise me for over 2 hours.

[Lora @lora__]

@MBonvoyAssist I have been trying to order room service for over an hour - no menu provided in room and no access to do this on app. Can you help please

[Lora @lora__]

@MBonvoyAssist They don’t answer the phone/tell me to download the app which doesn’t work.

@dannjohn @channel5_tv Gosh shouldn’t you be working

@RupaHuq @networkrail @SebDance As mentioned in point 1, the indirectly admitted reason for the poorly timetabled service is that Acton isn’t on the “main line” (despite having a platform that those trains run through which isn’t utilised)

[Lora @lora__]

@AmazingNow19 @RupaHuq @TfL @SadiqKhan @SebDance @EalingHour We keep asking this and never get a proper answer! It’s ridiculous that all trains don’t stop at Acton

[Lora @lora__]

@mattypoop @RupaHuq @TfL @SadiqKhan @SebDance @EalingHour They haven’t put any infrastructure in place transport or otherwise which is why the sewer has collapsed outside the new Friary Park development

[Lora @lora__]

@RupaHuq @TfL @SadiqKhan @SebDance @EalingHour Thanks, yes that’s when it is late running they often cut stations - but more widely could you find out why Acton is not on the timetable to start with for many trains other than the Heathrow service please? This is important to us!

@HamishDBG You sound absolutely batshit

My heart is broken💔: As friends & family know, my wife was pregnant with our 2nd child, & about to begin her 2nd trimester. A few days ago she had severe pains, & bleeding, and had to go to the emergency room. There, it was discovered that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Devastated doesn't come close to what that feels like.
Unfortunately for people like us, because of the current laws in the state of Texas, that was only the beginning of this nightmare. Jess (my wife) had an "incomplete miscarriage", and what needed to happen, what was best for HER, and her health, was to terminate the pregnancy, and get the baby out.
The doctor gave her a medication that would move this process along, and sent her home. Where, apparently we would be handling it ourselves. We were told it might take a couple of attempts before it worked.
I'll let you decide how you feel about that.
After a long, painful night of the equivalent of early labor, the baby was still with her. So, we went back to the Emergency Center to get the 2nd dose. A new doctor was on call. He was an older man. You could hear him in the hallway as he said, "I'm not giving her a pill so she can go home and have an ab*rtion!". Being well aware that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Then, he came into the room to say, and I quote: "Considering the current stance. I'm not going to prescribe you this pill". Then, just sent us on our way.
The "CURRENT STANCE"?! Did he really just say that?!
No one should ever have to hear their wife say: "Get this dead baby out of me!".
Can you even imagine how that must feel?
The pain, and the bleeding continued. So, we decided to go to another hospital, about an hour away. There was a female doctor on call there, and we thought we might have better luck.
I should probably mention, the procedure to get the baby out is called a D & C. It's scary, & traumatizing, but sometimes necessary in situations like ours. Especially in emergency circumstances.
So we get to the next hospital. They take Jess in, ask her a bunch of questions, do a new scan... confirm that the baby is still there, with no heartbeat, and then disappear... for hours. Only to come back in and keep asking the same questions over and over. It's becoming clear that they're primary concern is NOT my wife's health. Instead, they seem to be worried about the legalities involved.
So, they decide it is not "enough of an emergency" to perform the D & C.
They do, however, prescribe another, stronger, final dose of the medication for us to try again... at home.
So, we go home to try again. Another long day/night of early labor pains. Only to discover my wife UNCONSCIOUS in the bathroom. Having to pick my wife's cold, limp body off of that bathroom floor, not sure if I was about to lose her, is something I will NEVER forget.
She had to be rushed to the hospital.
By this point she had lost so much blood, and bodily fluid, her body gave out.
They were able to stabilize her, give her the fluids she needed, and we came back home yesterday afternoon. We were also able to confirm that our baby was no longer with her.
Now, not only do we have to live with the loss of our baby... we have to live with the nightmare of what we just experienced because of political and religious beliefs. MY WIFE'S HEALTH SHOULD HAVE COME FIRST. PERIOD!
God knows what mental and emotional damage this has done.
If you consider yourself a staunch "pro-lifer" ... 1) You've never been through what we just went through, and 2) You should take a long, hard look in the mirror and reevaluate your reasons for supporting such a cold, barbaric, ignorant point of view.
It's not that black & white, and it's never going to be.
If you think your "Pray To End Ab*rtion" sign in your yard is "Christian", I suggest you revisit the teachings of Jesus and try again. If you support these laws that make ab*rtion illegal, and result in people being put through what we just were, you should be ashamed of yourself. I've never been so angry, or heartbroken... and the devastation I'm feeling must pale in comparison to what my poor wife is feeling.

@woodylondon1 @kelvmackenzie That doesn’t fit his narrative 😂

[Rebekah Jones @GeoRebekah]

Tabitha Smith was arrested for getting into an argument following a disturbance call. For raising her voice and pissing off a rookie deputy, she was arrested, handcuffed, and put in the back of a squad car.

The deputy was texting his wife while driving to brag about arresting her when he drove into a river and killed Tabitha.

She was 35, married, with two children. No crazy criminal record. Just a mom who got in an argument and died.

If the cop had survived, he **should** have been charged with manslaughter. But he wouldn't have been. And now there's a million stories about HIM when he killed HER.

@ProfJennyGamble @susan_bewley @pash22 @drruthannharpur @chungopailot @NICEComms @BlottMaggie @jimgthornton @catherineroyuk @OAAinfo You should be deeply ashamed of this response

[Lora @lora__]

@j_e_n_williams @tastecard They did this to me too a few years ago!

@keyboardgirl8 @BBCBreakfast Totally. People who have benefited from the old system don’t want it to be dismantled.

@oldenoughtosay You definitely aren’t wrong because my daughter is living proof!

[Lora @lora__]

@liambarker @AVintenAuthor I nearly died from an ectopic pregnancy and didn’t “deny” I was pregnant, I didn’t think I was because I thought I was on my period due to the bleeding. Please choose your language more carefully.

@dannjohn You need it when you get trapped down there
