Two years on after a diagnosis of secondary breast cancer in my liver, I am living well with cancer. #samcansparkle #samcan #loving&livinglife #makingmenories

Mary was a leader in advocacy. She knew her red flag symptoms but still had to challenge to get a brain MRI. It was discovered she had MBC in the brain. Research has shown that 20% of women with signs & symptoms of MBC were treated for another condition first #DisappearingLives

Disappointing to see the Prime Minister misleading people on 20mph, whether intentionally or inadvertently.

This isn’t a blanket restriction. Speed limits on a large number of Welsh roads are unchanged, with journey times taking up to a minute longer.

This will save lives.

@laurenlaverne @BBC6Music thanks for playing the full Alphabet Street version, it always gets cut off b4 Cat’s rap 😍🙏🏻

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Can @BBCNews please explain why it still gives valuable news-space to Nigel Farage ? According to @Wikipedia he is a former this and that and currently only a ‘broadcaster’ on GB News . Frankly I don’t care if @Tesco withdraw his clubcard let alone some vanity spat about his money .

[Ann McBrien @annmcbrien_]

This lady ⬇️, my friend, a scientist living with metastatic breast cancer, has worked tirelessly to drive research on MBC across Ireland. The research will inform policy makers, health providers and charities, and help improve services and lives. Pl complete & share the survey.

And yet the Education Minister couldn’t name a single degree, cite a salary threshold or define a good job which would set the criteria for these “Mickey mouse degrees”.

[Brian Moore @brianmoore666]

Queen of the Scroungers
Dorries - not voted for a yr, doing a book on Johnson & working at TalkTV. Drawing full MP salary & exp, from
which she has paid her daughters £80pa in the past. She's about to get £22 recess payment despite saying she resigned with immediate effect.

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

Government to crack down on "rip-off" university degrees. No word yet on rip-off accommodation costs or rip-off student loan fees.

[Omid Djalili @omid9]

Incredible video. Afghan dad jokingly says school is only for boys. Watch his remarkable daughter - who can’t be more than 5 or 6 years old - respond with these arguments.

Afghan girls have been denied access to schools and universities. This little girl's courage represents the collective voice of countless Afghan girls who yearn for equal educational opportunities.

As an advocate for girls' education the father's teasing is simply to highlight an important message: that the Taliban - another backward regime - are harming the people of his country.

It’s time the world is done with them.

Ditto the “Islamic” Republic in Iran #regime

The 3 biggest mistakes people make when checking their breasts:

1 - Standing up
2 - Pushing in with their fingers
3 - Not looking in the mirror

Let’s fix them:

Lie on couple of pillows
Feel with your fingers flat
Look for dimples or tethering

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

It's time for a completely new start

A thought - all MPs should have to do 3 months probation working as, for example,
1 mth hospital Porter
1 mth on the bins
1 mth as a carer
Before they can take up their jobs in parliament

Pls add other options 🤍

@carolvorders One month as a teacher!

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

The sheer grotesque irony of this from The Sun, an incredibly powerful institution that used to pay money to 16 & 17-year old girls to go topless in front of the nation for the gratification of millions of old men.

[Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦 @DeborahMeaden]

Boris Johnson’s phone.

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

The Sun columnist Rod Liddle talking about Huw Edwards on Newsnight, but writing in The Spectator 2009 about how if he was a teacher he'd "sh*g the kids".

"The one thing stopping me from being a teacher was that I could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids.
It seemed to me virtually impossible not to, and I was convinced that I'd be right in there fron Day One.
We're talking secondary school here by the way and even then I don't think I'd have dabbled much below Year 10..."
(Year 10 is age 14/15)

Btw @AdamBienkov is a great journalist to follow ⏬

[Tassia Haines @TassiaHaines]

Absolutely worth getting out of bed for 😅. Seriously, it was amazing to meet Gemma and see some of the gang today.
More collaboration = less suffering. Can't lie, as soon as I got in the car I dosed off!

[Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East @AndyMcDonaldMP]

Sainsbury's CEO Simon Roberts total pay for 2022/23 was £4.9m.

On a 40 hour week, that's over £2k/hour.

His lowest-paid workers earn just £11/hour.

I asked how on earth that's justifiable, especially during a cost of living crisis.

The silence was deafening.

[Choose Love @chooselove]

We’re deeply concerned by the Home Office’s decision to re-open a hotel from which 136 unaccompanied asylum seeking children have gone missing.

There are reports of the hotel re-opening as soon as today.

Children seeking safety alone must be protected and kept safe.
