As part of our project on #EDI strategies in #STEM, yesterday we held an excellent roundtable discussion on data collection, insight & analysis for diversity & inclusion in STEM. Thank you to our host @samanthaniblett.bsky.social and to @profkevinfenton.bsky.social for chairing the discussion.

The whole point was it was personal and I was trying to effect positive change without wrecking the whole bill.

Honestly Charlotte, please get the bigger picture before you go after people like this.

Just awful.

On the welfare reform and the ‘reasoned amendment’ aka the wrecking amendment (that isn’t an amendment).

You sound nice.

What are my own interests?

I would try and understand before you hurl abuse at people.

There’s nothing in this for me.

I have hacked off government, hacked off my colleagues who signed the amendment, & those who haven’t, and most importantly hacked off people who are affected by all of this -and it is to YOU that I am so sorry, sorry that you’re going through the worry of all this.

I’ve written a statement on the current situation on the reasoned amendment on welfare reforms AKA a ‘wrecking amendment’.

The battle continues, and I continue to lobby government to rethink PIP.

Please do read my statement.

Good question. I need to speak with my constituents predominately. And not everyone is online. And I only have so much bandwidth already to cover LinkedIn, Instagram, Tik Tok. Bluesky is mark two Twitter and you get few lines to engage. It sparks greater fury than other methods of comms.

I have already written my own letter pleading with the Government to do more.

Hi Andy, I’m sorry I couldn’t make this as I was in the chamber in another important debate but that doesn’t mean we aren’t always talking about this issue.

80 years ago today Victory in Europe and over the Nazis was announced.

Thank you to brave servicemen and women who fought for us.

We must remember that what tears us apart is in division and hatred for humankind, what makes us great is in unity and togetherness and in being kind to one another.
