Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

[Tiffany D. Jackson @WriteinBK]

Forced birth in a country that doesn’t have mandatory maternity leave or universal healthcare…

Just interviewed Boris Johnson for #C4News tonight (in addition to the "pool clips" you may have seen already). Will post it here shortly. He says he takes responsibility for electoral losses, but shows little sign he thinks it has got that much to do with him.

[Romy van den Broeke @ohnohereisro]

@krishgm excellent excellent excellent interview of the joke that is @BorisJohnson. Finally someone grilling him for his perpetual failings @Channel4News

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Until last week, Russian oligarchs could buy a British passport, no questions asked. Today, there is no ‘legal’ route to the U.K. for Ukrainians fleeing Russian war crimes. Both are deliberate Conservative government policies.

[Romy van den Broeke @ohnohereisro]

Shame on you @pritipatel @BorisJohnson - you don’t care one bit. History will judge you harshly.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

It is totally immoral that the Home Office is still applying normal visa restrictions to those fleeing Ukraine.

The Government must urgently provide a simple sanctuary route to the UK for all who need it. This is our moral duty.

Clutching a mobile phone number of a woman she had never met, Nataliya Ableyeva crossed the border from Ukraine into Hungary on Saturday, entrusted with a precious cargo. A stranger's children. https://t.co/6mZS7DXJw3

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

The same Tory MPs who were cut and paste whipped to urge us to ‘move on’ are being cut and waste whipped to say how angry they are about @Keir_Starmer being attacked as a result of their ‘leader’s’ fascist smear. The longer they cling on to him the greater the damage to 🇬🇧

[Heidi Allen @heidiallen75]

Not my Prime Minister.

[Romy van den Broeke @ohnohereisro]

@MattHancock @Keir_Starmer It’s because of your leader and the lies your party tell that that happened. You should all resign. @BorisJohnson first.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

No surprise the conspiracy theorist thugs who harassed @Keir_Starmer & I repeated slurs we heard from @BorisJohnson last week at the despatch box.

Intimidation, harassment and lies have no place in our democracy. And they won’t ever stop me doing my job.

[Romy van den Broeke @ohnohereisro]

#CressidaDick should resign. The met needs an entire overhaul, and the first thing should be the removal of the head of the @metpoliceuk and all these so-called ‘good cops’ who did nothing when Couzens’ exposed himself and instead made a joke about it. Take some responsibility.

[Romy van den Broeke @ohnohereisro]

I want to run at night, I want to leave my keys in my bag until I’m home, I want to listen to music on my walk, I don’t want to feel on edge when I’m out and it’s dark, I want to be able to live without fear of being raped or murdered.

[Romy van den Broeke @ohnohereisro]

Can’t stop thinking about the details of #saraheverard’s murder + how she was given no choice but to get in his car under the guise of an arrest. These details are terrifying + frankly too much to bear. Women can’t even trust those who are supposed to keep them safe.

[Romy van den Broeke @ohnohereisro]

Women aren’t safe. #SabinaNessa and #saraheverard’s murders remind us of that.

[Kate Maltby @KateMaltby]

I keep thinking about the pupils at #SabinaNessa’s school. She taught Year 1. How do you tell a class of small children that their teacher won’t be coming back, because she was a woman and got unlucky walking home...?

[Romy van den Broeke @ohnohereisro]

@Iberia_en No response ? I can’t get help from anyone - seriously concerned about lack of baby bed on a 10+hr flight.

[Romy van den Broeke @ohnohereisro]

@Iberia_en crazy that I cannot book a baby seat for my 8 month old on your flights. Or ensure we have an ok seat with a baby. Customer service is v ‘computer says no’ - v disappointed. Nothing like flying with @British_Airways

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Isn’t it great to be from a country where a child born in Canada to Romanian and Chinese parents can come to Britain aged two and become a 🇬🇧 national heroine within 16 years? Let’s try and keep the country that way shall we @pritipatel ?
