Can someone else explain to me why there wasn't this level of government interest in the Port Talbot steel works?

[Naz Shah MP @NazShahBfd]

I apologised to the members of the Assisted Dying Bill committee tonight as I had to leave early.

I didn’t want to but had to because my hearing aids need to recharge after 15 hours use and without them I cannot hear or take part in the committee.

Hearing isn’t a choice for me.

I’ve raised this issue repeatedly with members of the committee and it’s sad that I’m unable to continue today.

I have chosen to give up a lot, especially during Ramadan, to make sure I can contribute in this committee and in politics. 

I wanted to stay as long as I could for these hugely important discussions and it is frustrating that I cannot because of my disability.

My photo kissing a nuclear waste cask went viral and people had… opinions about it.

There was outrage, with many claiming it was dangerous and that I was hurting my future children (lol).

Here’s why kissing a nuclear waste cask is actually fine🧵

@cerithrhys O ie, sai'n dweud bod pethe'n fwy anodd yn STEM, jyst diddordeb os mae pobl yn neud swydd fi yn y celfyddydau a dyniaethau.

Purely out of interest, but I work in STEM outreach. Is there such a thing as humanities outreach? Is there someone somewhere desperately trying to get boys to study A-Level English lit, the way I worry about girls into physics?

[Cerith D. Rhys Jones 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇪🇺 🏳️‍🌈 @cerithrhys]

Over the past few years, the idea that some degrees – mostly in arts and humanities subjects – are less valuable or useful has started to take hold. Many of us will have seen headlines like these about ‘rip-off’, ‘Mickey Mouse’, and ‘low value’ degrees. 🧵 1/9

Can Labour bring back Surestart ASAP. Please.
I don’t want to keep seeing hungry kids and vulnerable families with so little support, at work, and around the country.
