@g_gosden Does Nigel Farage know what it’s like to not have rent money at the end of the month ? Is this guy for real

[swimmum3 @monarexfluff]

@MichaelRosenYes They are always saying don’t have children if you can’t afford them so maybe it’s only for the elites 🤷‍♀️

@BladeoftheS My dad died of lung cancer, I would not wish that on anyone. It is slow and cruel. I had already given up smoking by then

[swimmum3 @monarexfluff]

@Ka81 Growing up, we would go to the local library with school and be able to take home up to 4 books per week. I was an avid reader and this was a joy for me as we could not afford to buy books new. Is this not a thing any more for schools? Do schools do this anymore ?

@Emma_Turner75 It’s a foot in mouth moment for sure. I don’t know anyone who uses breakfast club for the reasons they are saying, it’s mostly parents hurrying off to work. Labour are their own worst enemies

[swimmum3 @monarexfluff]

@smithsmm The only parents I know who use breakfast clubs are those that have to dash off to work after they drop and occasionally for children who find morning transitions difficult. No one is going off for a coffee with their mum mates at 7.30 in the morning

@suzanda65039315 @TTRadioOfficial I also have a sibling with a profound learning disability and my granddaughter is severely autistic (sorry if this is not the correct term) but it doesn’t mean my youngest child should not have the same opportunities as others just because you decide her sen is not bad enough

[swimmum3 @monarexfluff]

@DaveBraith48502 @DeputyGrocott My child wears ear defenders and she manages fine to engage in class
It doesn’t stop you hearing, it just blocks out background noise

[swimmum3 @monarexfluff]

@darrengrimes I think you mean it’s a slap in the face for those recieving it! £10 for pensioners, the disabled and their carers! It might cover what, 2 days of electricity if your lucky

[swimmum3 @monarexfluff]

@storiesbyjemay Some of these comments 🙄 how can people be so hateful to a little girl. No one knows her or what’s going on in her life. The derision over what she’s wearing and her hair, she’s a child, just leave her be

[swimmum3 @monarexfluff]

@jonnybid Would it not be better to identify the children who are struggling in yr 6 and put things into place for them when they start yr 7?? Isn’t waiting until yr 8 a bit 🙄

16yr old started college today. He didn’t get the gcse results that he needed for A’levels and was v upset. He didn’t wallow though, he picked himself up, found something else and got on with it all by himself. Who said young people have no resilience

[swimmum3 @monarexfluff]

@S1monRichards Bloody brilliant 🏅🏅🏅🏅

@HannahP95844309 @jillyglenister @MichaelRosenYes Hate the schools think it is ok to miss art to practice handwriting. My daughters school thankfully don’t have pen licenses but my sons did, I had to tell the teacher to give him a pen in the end as he was never going to get one

[swimmum3 @monarexfluff]

@llewelyn20 My granddaughters school are doing it this year. 2 weeks half term in October and they are extending the school day. Not an academy though

[swimmum3 @monarexfluff]

@Liberdade80 @Shrink_at_Large My husband worked with an autistic young person who claimed pip. He could not plan a journey so relied on parents to travel to work. He would have to be reminded to wear a coat in bad weather and when to stop and eat. It’s not always straightforward

[swimmum3 @monarexfluff]

@Tanni_GT How much of the assessment is based on medical evidence ? I know someone who sounds like they should be able to apply but all the hysteria in the media makes them reluctant. They do have care needs and are working. Gp said they would support

@TROBINS82527917 @fromthenorth66 @oldishbird1 There are lots of conditions that are under the mental health umbrella, then there a physical illnesses that impact mental health. You can’t generalise mental health conditions

[swimmum3 @monarexfluff]

@TROBINS82527917 @oldishbird1 Private therapy, medication, being able to work less hours
So many things
Anyone can become unwell, you never know if and when it could happen to you or a loved one
