This is heartbreaking. Of course the TRA’s don’t want anyone to know or talk about this.👇

Yup. Keep letting them speak. It's peaking loads of people.

They are narcissists, that's why.

True. But voting anything else won't either. That is the UK's biggest problem.

The NHS is advocating for women to squeeze hair combs into their palms instead of pain relief in labour. And sub cutaneous saline injections instead of epidurals. I kid you not.

Can someone in the @libdems.org.uk explain what the "Liberal" (or even "Democrats") means in their party name? 'Cos I'm confused.

Just a trans activist on here trying to prevent signatures for a petition against sexual violence in hospitals. Sociopathic.

Bl**dy hell. I didn't vote Labour mainly because 1. in my constituency there's no point and 2. I don't like their "gender" views. Now, I'd rather chew off my own arm.

This is not the most annoying thing about the Guardian.

How dare Kemi Badenoch say "given it's the Guardian"? We don't make things up! That's one of the most annoying things about us

Fine but you still need to provide changing facilities. And at present men can use the women's.

The issue is less the swimming ponds themselves but the add on facilities such as sunbathing areas, changing facilities and showers. Women using the women's pond since the change of policy in 2019 have found themselves naked in full view of men.

Going to mention this to my other half, since he now has his lovely CS pension and I'm reaping the benefits (not) of my private comp-only plans. I blame motherhood and that loon Liz Truss.

‘Motherhood penalty’ costs women an average £65,618 in pay by time first child turns five.

This is followed by gender pay gap, pension gap, health gap; slow career progression, harassment and violence, unpaid carer work, retirement insecurity.

All women deserve justice.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle? 🧵

I suspect it's more about vaccine supply than anything. I'm getting flu & shingles jabs this year on the NHS, but last year there was so little vaccine available my appointments with private providers were cancelled.

Those algorithms are mad. I recently ordered a clip on light for my music score and Amazon reccommended...a packet of garden fertiliser to go with it.
