@aGreekCod This is a bad take. It’s not “it’s hormones so it’s okay”, it’s a serious condition that means the mother needs urgent treatment and the baby needs safeguarding.

@Samfr My favourite part is where she talks about her pushing for what the silent majority wants but YouGov saying most people think it was the right decision to sack her.

@Tweet_Dec From a previous article - she saved £12k in a year and joined with a partner to buy a property with a £30k deposit in 2004. Then bought 2 BTL with her dad. Divorced and moved back in with her parents, and then moved in with latest partner who already owned a house.

@redrumlisa Millennials are nearly/over 40 now. Presumably the increasing noise is in part because of the fear of being stuck renting and not being able to afford to retire - it’s certainly a strong anxiety in our household.

@jameskirkup Not only is childcare expensive but by increasing retirement age means grandparents who would have been able to care for grandchildren no longer can.

@speakoutsister I just don’t get it. When I gave birth there were male doctors, male visitors in the wards. Why is that okay but not eg Mary who happened to be Martin at birth, who is also unwell in bed? Private rooms are for clinical need. Corridors are segregated. It’s all nonsense, isn’t it.

@redrumlisa I’m surprised to hear that. I grew up on a working class estate, lots of us expected us to buy houses like our parents who had often worked 2-3 jobs to buy them. By 40 our parents had paid off half their mortgage, we’re stuck renting.

@KirstieMAllsopp Yes and this prioritises fertility over general wellbeing. We must make more effort to understand the impact of refusing treatment as well as thoroughly assessing the impact of giving treatment. Refusing treatment is not neutral.

@aGreekCod Seems like you just want to be edgy. What’s your point exactly? That we should be shaming this woman with a known medical condition? Or men don’t need to be held accountable? Or could it be like I’ve said that we do take appropriate steps to protect the child when mum has PPP/D

@aGreekCod I haven’t disputed that at all, you don’t seem to be understanding my point. It’s a known medical condition and the stance is not that it’s acceptable. Your post implies we turn a blind eye. We don’t. We recognise what it is and act to protect mother and child.

@Samfr Yes it would be unforgivable - leaving teachers who care so deeply about their students feeling like striking is their only option is unforgivable, refusing to pay a fair wage, working them into the ground, unforgivable. He’s right, but not in the way he thinks.
