Why doesn't @Hzeffman mention that Labour has received fewer actual votes than in 2019? It's irresponsible public journalism not to explain basic things like that.

"The Maternity Safety Alliance is calling for an urgent public inquiry into maternity safety in England. The system, it says, is “fundamentally broken”."

I took a break from maternity leave to talk childcare at #LabConf23 yesterday — this time with my own baby in tow! 👶🏼

Childcare has a key role to play across labour’s missions - giving every child the best start to their education, & opening up the economy for their parents (1/)

I’ll be honest - I wasn’t fully aware of how much my outfit looked like pyjamas when I left the house this morning

What I will say though is that my orange poster makes me look 100% less peely-wally than my usual Scottish complexion 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Marl Karx with a Vengeance @BareLefter]

The BBC, absolutely desperate to impose an anti-striker editorial line on this woman, gets their arses slapped for their troubles. You love to see it.

really recommend everyone doing a quick training like this on suicide prevention.

i did one via @PAPYRUS_Charity and it was really good - i've used the skills and awareness many times since, it's made a difference.

[Kerry Rach @kerry_rach]

I just completed the ZSA Suicide Awareness Training - this is completely free, only takes about half an hour and could save someone's life.

Learn how to have a difficult conversation with someone who may be facing suicidal thoughts 👇

@MsLibby Oh yes, she should go and has been and is awful.

It's the animation and hunger and wild-eyed delight of the ongoing response (media, twitter public, MPs, etc) that's stressing me out.

[Lucy Whitehouse @lucehouse]

I'm a socialist but

the ravenous frenzy around Liz truss downfall is making my misogyny radar anxious.

[Fumble @FumbleUK]

After all the survey responses about our parent/carer workshops (thank you!) - to support them to engage meaningfully with young people about their digital lives - we're launching some pilot workshops ✨

The First Minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford, has just shouted at the leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies, in the Senedd after a question about the Welsh NHS…

'Staff shortages in maternity is a national problem. There is a shortage of more than 2,000 midwives in England.'

Articles almost daily about inadequate maternity services, that rarely mention the chronic underfunding causing it.

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

100% with @MarkDrakeford @PrifWeinidog in his anger and frustration at Tories who take a sledge hammer to the economy and public services, and then try to pretend that the consequences have nothing to do with them. They do just the same in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
