We have one week left to #BanConversionTherapy
Put aside 30 mins to respond to the UK Government’s consultation. Survivors of conversion therapy and any LGBTQIA+ person or an ally can respond.
Every response counts. banconversiontherapy.com/gui…

Ladies, unless it’s your *specific* job, never EVER run around for your male colleagues. Ever. I know it’s awkward when you’re young and new to a job but just say “no”. 👎
Is @nadhimzahawi being intentionally disingenuous? Self isolating due to contracting #COVID19 is not absenteeism, the word you’re looking for is absence - or is this an intentional ideological use of language?

hi, are you doomscrolling? Our bodies were not designed to be this anxious and stressed for so long. How about going to sleep early tonight? You still deserve time to rest and recover.
So, so, so tired of #COVID19, this government, the state of our politics, our public services creaking and falling over under the weight of austerity followed by a pandemic, some of the most vulnerable people being repeatedly thrown under various buses - I go to sleep now? – at Plymouth, England
Working hard or hardly working?? While the rest of us had been stuck in our houses for 2 months – at Plymouth, England

"This is sometimes said by people who have no understanding of health at all... and when they say it, it's usually because they want to make a political point." “That is an inversion of reality” 🔥🔥🔥🔥 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Prof Chris Whitty – at Plymouth, England

Remember: your boss can’t just send you home with no pay, if you're on a permanent/fixed contract.
Even if there is no work.
If it happens, contact a union representative or employment lawyer.
Your best protection is to join a union. Together, we are always stronger.
Okay Twitter people 📚 …I’m feeling a little bit despairing at the state of the world…so give me your recommendations for thought provoking but inspiring reads for my 2022 #TBR pile - fiction or non-fiction welcome

Such a loss to the world, if you haven’t read any of bell hooks work now’s the time to fix that – at Plymouth, England

So, so tired and it feels like we’ve learned very little. Chris Whitty looks like he’s being held hostage & the Gov are using “saving Christmas” as an excuse not to provide support to businesses most effected 🤦🏻♀️ theguardian.com/commentisfre…
2 years ago today was the 2019 general election. I was and will always be proud to have stood for Labour values. In the last 2 years there have been so many missed opportunities to build a humane, compassionate and fair society that protects & lifts up the most vulnerable.
Another 🧵 from @HZiauddeen that’s an essential read for those in #NHS #MentalHealth care - the failure of patients diagnosed with #BPD/ #EUPD/ complex #PTSD (disproportionately women) is horrific, lacking compassion & costs ppl their lives

1. It's not a sin to be transgender.
2. It's not a sin to be LGBTQ.
3. As Pope Francis has said, the Eucharist is not a "prize for the perfect."
4. Catholic leaders must be aware of the real-life effects of such stigmatizing language on LGBTQ people.

🚨DEADLINE EXTENDED🚨 This consultation should have been accessible from the beginning so it is important that the UK Government is fixing its mistake by providing an easy read version.
#BanConversionTherapy
I am determined to stamp out conversion therapy and protect free speech.
I want everyone to be able to have their say on this important issue.
We have extended our consultation to ensure all voices are heard.

Only one day to go! Tomorrow marks the deadline for the consultation. Just 30 minutes of your time can help end this damaging and life threatening practice that remains legal in the UK. Visit metrocharity.org.uk/news/202… #BanConversionTherapy
