I’ve spent my whole life being told I’m too loud & too opinionated so I’ve consciously tried to keep quiet and not rock the boat when I’m in public but it’s got me nowhere. So I say to any loud, opinionated young women out there, if anyone tells you to keep quiet, shout louder

My son Isaac; diagnosed autistic at 21 months. Told he would never talk properly, then he’d never cope in mainstream then never get GCSEs, certainly not anything higher. But he proved them wrong and here he is holding his 2:1 degree certificate in accountancy and finance👏🏼

When my son was tiny I caught him with chocolate all over his face & asked him if he had been in the biscuit tin. He flat out denied it even when I showed him his face in the mirror. He thought he could get away with it just by repeated denial. He was 3.The PM is 57 #NotAboutCake

Name one profession other than the NHS that charges its employees to park in the car park at work. Bloody ridiculous. Get rid of that alone and it would equate to a pay rise of around 3-5% for an average nurse

Sunak has made Tory donor Stephen Massey temp chairman of party after sacking Zahawi over tax dodging scandal. Massey works for a firm that helps rich avoid taxes & in 2007 was himself found by HMRC to have tried to avoid tax on £5m he got in bonuses. You couldn’t make it up

She then lied about when it was sent when questioned by PM so was forced to resign (receiving the usual ex-cabinet payoff) but now it’s apparently fine to reinstate her despite her showing not only insane incompetence but a national security risk. People need to know this! 3/3

If you are absent 3 times or more within a 6 month period as a teacher you face a review meeting and your competence to teach is assessed. How come MP’s on twice the salary can show up to work as and when they feel like it?

Bin men (or I should probably say refuse collectors) are out already, thank god I put mine out last night. They really earn their money don’t they? Another profession we couldn’t manage without that’s woefully under appreciated and taken for granted.

Just had to block a lovely guy who reckons reason I believe climate change exists & high temps & tinder dry forests are more likely than coordinated arson for all the wildfires is because “primary teachers are the worst having been indoctrinated at Marxist training camps” Twat

Yesterday was an incredible day! Following one tweet, I gained over 4000 new followers. Thanks to all of you and I’m grateful but Twitter have deemed this against the rules and limited my account so I can’t follow anyone back for 3 days. Please unfollow me if that’s a problem

Richard Madeley apparently spoke to 2 sets of parents yesterday who didn’t know if their children’s school was open or not today and together with Andrew Pierce spent 5 minutes slagging off teachers because of it. I call b*llsh*t😖

I’m sad some people found it necessary to criticise a tweet about 1 of the beautiful poems written by my pupils yesterday but I guess it goes with the job. Apparently I’m a bad teacher for being anti-Tory (I don’t tell the children that) & I shouldn’t mention climate change. 1/4

‘Shop prices have RISEN at their lowest amount for 2 years this month’ says the headlines as if this was some amazing achievement. They are still bloody rising, it’s not like wages go up every month is it?

@markjamestattoo @davidselfridge1 Go George! Don’t give up hope as Isaac only spoke in echoes for a long time but as with everything else he got there in the end ( it’s always two steps forward one step back ) Tell George he too is amazing as are you!

@thellen72 I can’t get over all these people of my generation (late 50’s/60’s) claiming how tough we had it. Kids today have more to deal with than we ever did, get over yourselves

So now it’s Angela Rayners fault that Boris Johnson is terrible at the dispatch box for being a woman with legs. ‘She knows she can’t compete with Boris’s Oxford Union debating training, but she has other skills which he lacks’ A new low in misogynism

I didn’t buy flowers and place them against a royal building but I bought 2 bunches of roses 💐🌹 One for my 84 year old mum and the other for her 86 year old sister (my aunt) who lives next door to mum. Rightly or wrongly I thought the still living would appreciate them more

I’m so happy for people who have strong committed lasting relationships but seriously find it difficult to make people understand that I really enjoy being single in my 50’s & am not lonely & sad but relish the freedom & have absolutely no need or wish for a man in my life🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m so sorry to all those people tweeting me and telling me I’m rude for not following back. I would love to follow you all and I will when I can but I only had 150 followers this morning, have followed 400 back and Twitter won’t let me follow any more today☹️

Thank you for all your responses. The whole reason I tweeted this was to open up debate and I appreciate your opinions. I honestly was not aware of people booking several restaurants and choosing which one to go to at the last minute, which is totally unfair to the restaurants

Cake I made for my mum’s birthday which is on Thursday but today was the only time I had to make it. Coffee and walnut but with pecans instead of walnuts. I hope it tastes okay🤞🥮

Is anyone really surprised that Johnson is having a party at Chequers this weekend instead of attending emergency Cobra meeting to discuss how mitigate pressure on NHS during extreme weather crisis? He’s simply ending his time as PM in exactly the same way as he started it.
