Ok. Let me clear a few things up for people. This is a thread, pls read...
1. I was on the social-services ‘at-risk’ register throughout my childhood.
2. My family & I spent time in
@womensaid
hostels.
3. My mum was helped by
@Gingerbread
when we finally left my violent father
I just popped to a supermarket. In the carpark, there were *three* separate homeless ‘camps’ housing 5 different people.
How is this ok in 2024 Britain?💔
I spoke to two of them. One lady told me her hubby had died & eventually she’d found herself on the street. She has a dog…
So happy to share that I’m now a mummy!
After a month in hospital & lots of complications, my little man came into this world way too early (31 weeks) but takes after his mamma & is a fighter
I’m in love❤️
Our next chapter, that of
#NICU
is now upon us. We take it day by day🙏🏻
Just been out for my walk. Park was absolutely packed with people in groups &/or sunbathing...
Police turned up (good) & people were actually annoyed at being asked to move on & angry at them.
I bet loads of these people are the same ones who stand & clap for the NHS...🤦🏼♀️
Dear Remain MPs/Media,
Some advice;
The more you insult Brexiteers
@brexitparty_uk
@Nigel_Farage
the more you strengthen their resolve.
How you’ve not yet grasped this simple fact, is beyond me.
Focus on positives of your side, not slurs of the other
Yours,
A Village Idiot
Q: If you’ve said; “I’ve got Covid but I’m so glad I’m fully vaccinated, because it made it really mild”, I wonder;
A) Do you find it weird you caught something you’re supposedly “fully vaccinated against”?
B) Do you ponder that maybe, it would have just been mild anyway?
🤔
It’s bizzare how many folk are pushing for NHS not to treat the unvaccinated due to ‘personal choice’, but yet haven’t been so vocal about excluding other personal choices to help relieve NHS pressure; drinking, smoking, fighting, speeding, sports, DIY, obesity, drugs etc etc
🤷♀️
As a
#Brexiteer
I’m fed up with being told that I’ve caused “this mess”.
For the record, I and the 17.4million others like me, haven’t caused “this mess”...
The politicians who;
Failed to plan
Failed to respect the result
Failed to work together
Failed to negotiate
have...!
What is going on with journalism in UK?
Why are they allowing politicians to absolutely terrify us, without challenging them?
Why aren’t simple, basic questions being asked of
@BorisJohnson
@sajidjavid
why are things getting accepted at face value?
Journalists-DO YOUR JOB!
🤬
Walking today, I stopped & sat on bench to feed my son. In doing so, I was reprimanded by a police officer who asked me to move along because sitting on a bench to feed my baby ‘did not class as exercise’ & thus breaks lockdown rules
I try to respect lockdown, but, really?! 🤦🏼♀️
Frankly, all of you reporters etc who insist on calling this male rapist ‘she’, ‘her’ & ‘woman’ etc should be ashamed of yourselves
I swear, this world is actually going mad and an issue is, most people know it but daren’t say it & so play along!🤦🏼♀️
🤡🌎
On my tube carriage yesterday a madman was threatening passengers. I tried to shield my toddler who was in his pram. A lady crossed the carriage to stand alongside me to help protect him. Luckily the guy didn't reach my son but it was scary. Am so grateful to that lady, thank you
I refuse to share the video of the park attack & implore anyone sharing it, to stop - out of respect for the families.
Instead, I will share this man. He deserves a medal for trying to stop the attacker & save children. Why others didn’t help him, I will never understand 😔
Just had another woefully substandard NHS appointment for my baby. The experience justified as “because of Covid”
I am tired of hearing that I need to ‘protect the NHS’, while receiving poor care. It is their job to protect us, not vice versa
NB This is dig at policy, not staff
Wow. I genuinely thought this tweet was fake.
Turns out it isn’t.
@MetroUK
have now (unsurprisingly) deleted it.
Btw -
@jk_rowling
didn’t “sadly open her mouth” she loudly and proudly declared “
#NotOurCrimes
and she, is correct.
Solidarity🙌🏻
For the record, I am 100% happy for
@BBCPolitics
to release footage of my off-air ‘debate’ with
@paulmasonnews
and I hope they do...
I’ve had enough of this bullying, condescending, misogynistic attitude from some in
@UKLabour
I’m not “offended” by it, I am saddened by it...
Right. So these days a ‘Mum’ is a man in a skirt?
Got it.
———
I swear this world is actually going mad. I can not understand why so many people are indulging this absolute fantasy nonsense
Why? Do you agree with this or is it that folk are too scared to call it out?🤔
🤡🌎
Feeling beyond blessed that my surgery appears to have been a success. (I was so afraid in the lead up to it.)
I’m currently recovering in hospital and am so grateful for all the love, care and well wishes that I’m receiving.
In lots of pain, but feeling positive. 🙏🏻
At a time when trust in politicians has rarely been lower & public disillusionment of politics rarely higher, an MP thought it wise to request extra £ for childcare provisions for working their 3rd Saturday in decades
Out of touch isn’t close 🙈🤦🏼♀️
#Basics
#ChrisBryant
#Fail
So
#Labour
MP Chris Bryant has stated MPs should be given financial help to pay for childcare because they have to attend the House of Commons on a Saturday.
Surely they can just about cover this with their £79k salary? 3 Saturdays in 70 years and MPs ask for financial help.. 🙄
I’m as livid about this party stuff as the next bloke, but Journalists (and others) lining up to give
@BorisJohnson
a kicking; salivating almost… While simultaneously having broken the rules themselves (while lecturing us about following them) make me cringe 🤦🏼♀️
Oh and while I’m at it...
David, you are the first person to call out (and get offended at) what you perceive to be ‘racist behaviour’...
Why then do you think it’s ok to seemingly stereotype white Blonde girls as somehow looking all the same? 🤔
In the space of 72hrs, I’ve read about a man raping a woman in broad daylight on a tube, (while nobody intervened!) & watched a guy **** at a woman’s window, again in broad daylight
I don’t know what’s going on but we need to come together & stop this…
Women must be safe🤬
I wonder how many folk insisting “no deal” being removed from table have ever actually successfully conducted a negotiation
It’s an absolute basic fact that in negotiation, you MUST have the ability to walk away (or at least make the other side think you would)
#brexit
#basic
Whilst it’s great that some prominent Brexiteers have been given a
#peerage
, the constant exclusion of that
@Nigel_Farage
is odd.
Whatever you think of him and/or his politics - there is no denying that he has been one of the most impactful politicians in recent years.
So let me get this straight....
#Prorogation

Hmmm.... ok then 🤦🏼♀️
If this guy is a Christian, I’m the Queen of Sheba..🙄
If the ‘Christian’ card had failed, what’s the bet that five mins later, he would suddenly be ‘gay’ for his next attempt…🤦🏼♀️
Our asylum system is being gamed. It’s also failing & it’s dangerous…

I'm sure you felt a 'big man' being rude to our young producer, (a lad who reached out to you as someone he respected) & then doing below in an attempt to humiliate & score 'virtue signal' points Mark.
Decline? Sure, that's your right. But sad that you chose to be so rude.
What. On. Earth😳
Violent crime through the roof. Unsolved crime sky high. Barely a copper around when you need one. Etc etc
And yet this⬇️ is what has been decided is a good use of time for at least 5 officers?!
🤯
#Priorities
I feel so strongly that removing ‘No Deal’ from the table, was the wrong thing to do.
We now have precisely zero negotiating power.
I simply do not get how so many people fail to understand this basic point.
The farce, has become even more farcical 🤦🏼♀️
#Brexit
#NoDeal
No.I didn’t ‘defend mocking children’ as I wasn’t mocking kids in 1st place.I was mocking adults who indulge this stuff-as I explained
And no I won’t be apologising

I completely agree. I’ve said all along, removing

Why don’t people get this is a negotiation?!
Sorry Luisa, I know you and the rest of your team seem proud of these, but the slogan/T-Shirts you are wearing are totally inappropriate in a professional and/or ‘parliamentary’ setting.
This isn’t cool-it’s quite frankly unprofessional and embarrassing.

I’ve started typing so many tweets today re Brexit. Trying to find the right words...Deleted them and started over...And so it continues...
I’ve concluded that the best thing to say is simply...

And a deliberate and manufactured mess no less.

Disappointing result, but I never feared losing, I feared only not trying my best. With my hand on my heart, I know there was nothing more we could have done.
Thank you to everyone for the votes & the support.

How proud I am of

I’ve had the misfortune of sitting at a bedside day & night in an intensive care unit, praying that my child would survive.
How any nurse could walk away from those units/wards, to go on strike, is simply beyond me. I find it utterly heartbreaking & I will be honest, wrong.
💔
The RCN says it will reduce England's NHS services to “an absolute minimum” as nurses are set to walk out of emergency departments for 48 hours from the 1st to the 3rd March.

This could affect any of us. We should all care.
Tragic someone has died & my heart goes out to their family 💔
But
@BorisJohnson
releasing that info without context does nothing but create hysteria;
Why were they in hospital?
What caused death?
Did they have underlying health conditions?
What was the age of the person?
Hi
@JustStop_Oil
since you’re clearly looking for traditional & established events to disrupt, you’re in luck, there are a few coming up.
For example, in less than 2 weeks, the Appleby Horse Fair takes place. I’m sure attendees would love to hear your message.
You’re welcome👍🏻
🥀 BREAKING: JUST STOP OIL SUPPORTERS THROW PAINT OVER CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW GARDEN.
🍽️ What good is a garden if you can’t grow food? Millions are starving in the Global South whilst our government ignores the climate crisis, choosing to licence 100 new oil and gas projects.
Surely, most people know of the abhorrent things Nazis did?
Why then has it become normal / ok to call someone a Nazi, just because you disagree with their point of view?
I find it utterly shameful😔
Hi
@MichaelLCrick
On my show you were dissatisfied re balance/impartiality + 2 people having same view against just one who differed. You asked Ofcom to intervene
By your logic I assume you’re similarly dissatisfied re lack of different views⬇️& have thus complained to Ofcom?
"Frankly what Ofcom should do is shut it down"
Broadcaster Adam Boulton tells

regulator Ofcom should shut down GB News for disrupting Britain's 'broadcast ecology'
I do wonder if those walking Glasgow streets chanting “ACAB, all cops are b*stards” a few days ago, reflect on their words today given that police have yet again ran toward danger to help protect people?
I feel sorry for police officers at the moment. They don’t deserve this 😔

Eh? “Racist” to remove this ladies citizenship? Give me a break. It is called basic self protection.
And yes, there is a “2-Tier system”,

Tier 2 -Those who don’t wish us harm
...Damn right the two should be treated differently.
