Declaring war on the poor. In what universe is this anything other than immoral? I have been citing figures like these. Yet again, scarcely can I believe that society would reduce education spending at all, let alone reduce it more for disadvantaged children.
Excited to see @UCLanNursing 2024 Curriculum plans coming together, Our Comensus service users and carers have been invited to be partners in all discussions around module development and delivery! #coproduction@mrsjaynemc @Tylerify_This @egillaspy
Children living in poverty are more likely to have poorer health outcomes including low birth weight, poor physical health & mental health problems.
We urge all political parties to make tackling child poverty central to their general election manifestos.

🧵Every day #DomesticAbuse victims tell me that children’s safety is being put at risk in #FamilyCourt + that they are retraumatised through the process

Please watch the whole interview.
@dele_official is on a mission to help people dealing with childhood trauma & my goodness he knows what he's talking about. Therapy saved his life.
He says he wasn't ready to do it yet but felt forced to do so by tabloid 'interest' in his rehab.
Luckily, @gnev2 does a bang up job of balancing empathy with enquiry.
Dele hopes his testimony will help others. I am 100% certain that it already has.
❔ Do you know anyone aged 16 to 19 who's interested in studying medicine?

Tories drink & dance at Covid rules in first ever Partygate video
Johnson has given honours to (soon to be Lord) Shaun Bailey and Ben Mallet both of whom were at this party
No govt or political party has ever disgusted me more

🧵 A note on complex grief and that partygate video:
Complex or complicated grief is characterised as being in an ongoing, heightened state of mourning that prevents you from healing.
A crippling sense of loss or other severe & unpleasant emotions endure & prevent recovery.
“I think gay people are very lucky, because we are not conventional, we are a group slightly apart. It gives us an edge. We’re good artists, we’re good musicians. And I like being gay. I wouldn’t want to be straight for anything.” - Miriam Margolyes, British Vogue 2023.
Violence against women and girls is entirely preventable!

"Do not be scared. Raise your voice and seek help. Even if it seems impossible, there is always a way out."
This is the advice to all women and girls from Salma, a survivor of domestic violence from Lebanon.

616 days since the Taliban banned girls from going to school, and 132 days since they banned women from going to university.
The world has completely forgotten the women and girls of Afghanistan. It's the only country in the world that bans female education.
We are deeply concerned by the experiences of children with mental health needs being placed in general paediatric wards.
