Why doesn't @Hzeffman mention that Labour has received fewer actual votes than in 2019? It's irresponsible public journalism not to explain basic things like that.

I took a break from maternity leave to talk childcare at #LabConf23 yesterday — this time with my own baby in tow! 👶🏼
Childcare has a key role to play across labour’s missions - giving every child the best start to their education, & opening up the economy for their parents (1/)

I’ll be honest - I wasn’t fully aware of how much my outfit looked like pyjamas when I left the house this morning
What I will say though is that my orange poster makes me look 100% less peely-wally than my usual Scottish complexion 🤷🏻♀️

The BBC, absolutely desperate to impose an anti-striker editorial line on this woman, gets their arses slapped for their troubles. You love to see it.

really recommend everyone doing a quick training like this on suicide prevention.
i did one via @PAPYRUS_Charity and it was really good - i've used the skills and awareness many times since, it's made a difference.
I just completed the ZSA Suicide Awareness Training - this is completely free, only takes about half an hour and could save someone's life.
Learn how to have a difficult conversation with someone who may be facing suicidal thoughts 👇

I'm a socialist but
the ravenous frenzy around Liz truss downfall is making my misogyny radar anxious.

'Staff shortages in maternity is a national problem. There is a shortage of more than 2,000 midwives in England.'
Articles almost daily about inadequate maternity services, that rarely mention the chronic underfunding causing it.

xitter.cf/NicolaSturgeon/status/… oh yeah nicola's on it
100% with @MarkDrakeford @PrifWeinidog in his anger and frustration at Tories who take a sledge hammer to the economy and public services, and then try to pretend that the consequences have nothing to do with them. They do just the same in 🏴
