If you can bear it, I think you should read this quick blog by me about the actual detail of the torture Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was subjected to in Iran, and why it's beyond awful that corners of the internet are telling how to feel about her release. newstatesman.com/politics/uk…

It's been 6 long years - and I can't believe I can FINALLY share this photo. Nazanin is now in the air flying away from 6 years of hell in Iran. My heart goes out to Gabriella and Richard, as her long journey back home to them gets closer by the minute. #NazaninIsFree ❤️

Bone cancer in my twenties led to my leg being amputated. I was given a 50/50 chance of survival. And those stats haven’t improved in the intervening years. We need change! So I’m voicing the Christmas appeal for @BCRT on @BBCRadio4 on Sunday. #UntilTheresACure Preview 👇
TUNE IN! 📻 We're delighted to announce that Sally Hurst (@onelegcycling) will be presenting a @BBCRadio4 Appeal on behalf of @BCRT on Sunday 12th December at 07:54 and 21:25. Here's a little introduction from Sally... #R4Appeal #UntilTheresACure

Hey @AldiUK you REALLY don’t want me accessing the twin trollies do you? It’s bad enough I have to move these cones every week, but now tape?! As if shopping with 2x two year olds isn’t hard enough 🤦🏼‍♀️

The bad police are a few bad apples but unfortunately they have baked them into a large pie and it’s impossible to tell which ones are the bad ones and they’re protected by an incredibly thick and flaky crust
