@theSNP @Stuart_McDonald Wondering why questions on a survey that came via post are different to an online version linked by QR code? Frustrated that "what are the most important issues for you and your family right now?" disappears online while adding more independence-based qs

“Exclusive breastfeeding is endorsed for the initial six months in newborns. It is sufficient for every nutritional need…such that there is no need to give anything above breastfeeding."

So starts this study of dehydration in breastfeed newborns:

If #feedyourway was actually about feeding *your* way, its "one simple goal" would not be breastfeeding

[Infant Feeding Alliance @FeedingAlliance]

This isn't coproduction. You literally hired a marketing company to come up with a campaign to market breastfeeding and now you're passing it off as "coproduction" and "evidence based"

Talk to us about the exploitative marketing practices of the big bad formula industry again...

@DrMBotha That poster makes it sound like @RishiSunak is setting up modern slave markets, which illegal arrivals will not be able to participate in. @cabinetofficeuk might want to correct that graphic pronto

Brutal ratio.

Up the posties. Up the union. Up the public.

@Peston Pay rises don't cause inflation. Price rises cause inflation, and they've been happening without a rise in pay. Where is your critical reporting?

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

Britain’s poor face the worst winter in living memory.
A year ago we talked about people having to choose between heating and eating, now many can’t afford either. Basics like soap, toothpaste etc are becoming unaffordable luxuries.
And it’s only going to get worse.

PGR members speaking out against the ‘offer’ to PGRs to cover lessons

@SurreyUCU and @SurreyPostgrads call on the @UniOfSurrey to rescind its recent offer to PGRs to cover lessons on strike days and to improve its communications with PGRs in relation to these strikes.

People in the U.K. right now waiting for the results of a vote of confidence (or indeed, not) in the Prime Minister… He needs to go, but what Tory disaster is going to replace him? The evil one, the incompetent one, or a delightful combination of these top leadership traits? 🙄

@Halfords_uk - why don't you have a lift in this store?

[Sam Kite @samfkite]

@Lorna4FalkirkS just been to Halfords at Central Retail Park with my spouse who uses a wheelchair. There's no lift to access the bike shop meaning we can't look for spares for wheelchair wheels. How do I report #equalityact breaches to @falkirkcouncil ?

[Sam Kite @samfkite]

For potentially the last time, I'm about to go and vote without an assumption that I don't have the right to, in elections overseen by an independent @ElectoralCommUK, with districts that haven't been gerrymandered by the Government #LocalElections2022 #electionsbill
