@mattforde Love this! Thank you for normalising this kind of discussion. The stoma friendly toilets in some of the airports in Spain are amazing! These would be fantastic in football grounds.

[Yvette Johnson @Vetty82]

Amazing experience being on @bbc5live this morning. HUGE thanks to @TVNaga01 for giving @MikeAndNuisance and I a platform to raise awareness about what it’s like to have a stoma! Lived every second of it. 🫶

I was proud to speak in Westminster Hall today in support of #StomasInParliament, to raise awareness of the challenges facing people with stomas. Thank you to @JanetDaby and @willquince for joining me for this discussion. Watch my full speech here: https://t.co/BPzQzXObgF

Thank you so much @GilesWatling for speaking for the stoma community. It was great to hear you talk about the challenges people living with a stoma face as well as what is possible if the right care and support is given. Look forward 2 seeing what is next for #StomasInParliament

[Yvette Johnson @Vetty82]

Today stoma care is being debated in Parliament following the #StomasInParliament campaign with @iasupport, @UrostomyA @ColostomyUk and @ColoplastUK. It means so much to our community to have this being discussed in Parliament. I’ll be watching in person at 11am!

[Yvette Johnson @Vetty82]

@ForresterKerry @NAHTnews @NAHTCheshire @simonkidwell @edwardtimpson Thank you so much, on behalf of my dyslexic 10 year old daughter, for speaking up and making a stand for these kids. This week my child is broken. This morning she had to psych herself up, working out how many tests were left and that’s she’s got this 😢 So wrong at 10/11yrs old!

[Yvette Johnson @Vetty82]

@Blakeyness @InPostUK I’m having the same issue!

[Yvette Johnson @Vetty82]

@bakes1970 @iasupport @ColostomyUK @Coloplast_UK Good luck! You’ll be amazing!

[Yvette Johnson @Vetty82]

Good luck to everyone involved in next week’s #stomasinparliament event. A fantastic opportunity to speak with policymakers about the steps that can be taken to ensure everyone with a #stoma receives the care and support they need to keep doing the things they love like this…

[Yvette Johnson @Vetty82]

@nigelmills I’d really appreciate it if you could show your support for constituents like me who are members of the #stomacommunity by attending the #stomasinparliament event in the House of Commons next week.

[Coloplast UK & Ireland @Coloplast_UK]

Not long to go until we head to Parliament with @iasupport, @UrostomyA, @ColostomyUK! We can’t wait to speak with policymakers to ‘relay’ the steps that can be taken to help people with a #stoma live life to the full, whatever their interest or passion #stomasinparliament

[Yvette Johnson @Vetty82]

@DerbysCCSwann Just wanted 2 let you know that PC Ozzy is doing ok. Feeling pretty poorly & sorry for himself after his ordeal but he can’t wait 2 get back to his Police Family and cuddles from you and all his other aunts and uncles at Force HQ! Here he is stealing the dogs bed!

[Yvette Johnson @Vetty82]

@CostaCoffee @SteveZee6 Olivia, with all due respect, there is no way that heat or steam can kill gluten! Just like it can’t kill peanut oil or any other allergens. If heat did kill gluten then I’d be safely able to eat any cooked item 🤦🏼‍♀️ @CostaCoffee PLEASE get your staff better trained in allergens!

[Yvette Johnson @Vetty82]

There was me struggling to finish my degree & home school 4 kids with SEN. My mental health was at rock bottom and I couldn’t even get a hug from my mum because of the ‘rules’ - all while you were partying @BorisJohnson You’ve let me and the rest of the UK down big time 😡😢

[Yvette Johnson @Vetty82]

@NatWest_Help @jules_sandwell Yes it’s all working again now. Thanks for sorting.
