I continue to be amazed how ppl who understand least about the independent education sector are very same who advocate so strongly for it to be targeted & hit w/extra taxes. Despite sector delivering broad & diverse education, same narrow biases & inaccurate prejudices exist! /1

How about the ignorant trolls questioning why she didn’t look ‘tortured enough’ volunteer for a similar nine-month prison experiment. Can then compare how they coped, not forgetting press scrutiny & sanctimonious crap being said on social media? Let’s see how tortured they look?

They put a purple butterfly on the door to signal bereavement, helpful but it felt a little like a scarlet letter. The most torturous part was listening to the live births - women screaming, knowing my time was coming but I wouldn’t be taking a baby home 2/2

The woman lied to access abortion pills by post. I appreciate it was Covid but even after 24 wks in her vunerable state she would have had legal options. I am a strong supporter of a womans bodily autonomy but in lying & taking the procedure into her own hands a line was crossed

It’s not perfect but film demonstrates balanced & open discussion isn’t possible in current climate. Your sponge bob response perfectly illustrates that. Instead of defending ur position, you mocked. Similar to the film, except when challenged, experts threatened/ended interviews

Recommendations set out in VAWG strategy need to be resourced & implemented if we are to stop this revolting cycle of senseless violence/tragic loss, reactive media/call for action & agency commitments to address the issue

Never thought the treatment by individual midwives or Dr was lacking but system certainly isn’t sensitive to trauma women are going through. When I delivered my daughter (who was no longer alive) I was placed on labour ward. 1/2

No it doesn’t. In Canada abortion is not a criminal offence. There are NO LEGAL restrictions on abortion, including no restrictions with respect to gestational age or on the reasons for which a pregnant person may choose to have an abortion. Decision is between woman & her Dr
If Government is committed to passing landmark domestic abuse

legislation, they must ensure it recognises

The Government has committed to consider the issue of

Just as we’re entitled to ask what makes you think your view of how she supposedly ‘belittled’ Richard is any of your business or why you feel capable of passing judgement on his suffering vs hers (and gratitude) based on 50 min press conference & few media pics? Except we’re not

Islington, Southwark, Newham and Tower Hamlets offer free school meals to primary school children. I don’t understand why some LAs prioritise this essential support & others don’t. It’s a philosophical position as cost is negligible compared to wider council revenue & spend!
Such an amazing day getting Gov’t confirmation
#PostSeparationAbuse
will be included in the Domestic Abuse Bill

You come across as jealous & angry you didn’t choose better at uni! How dare you judge someone who’s worked hard & done well?! Who do you think manages your pension…Fund Managers & others in financial services. Try learning how it works before making silly ‘gambling’ comments
