I had a stroke last Thursday while eating a sandwich. I didn't recognise it, the people I went to dinner with 4 hours later didn't recognise it, the doctor in A&E didn’t recognise it when I went in 6 days afterwards. My face, arm, speech were fine. So here are some extra tips

So I had a stroke on Wednesday at my desk. Luckily colleagues recognised the symptoms and I was in hospital within 35 minutes. Please retweet and remind people Face, Arm, Speech & Time. Time is key for stroke victims and I owe everything to those @12CPBarristers who acted.

Calling US abortion laws ‘from the Dark Ages’ profoundly misses the historical moment. The idea that fertilised cells are ensouled is a modern one: Medieval culture thought embryos weren’t human until they quickened - when movement was felt. This obsession is entirely ours.

Tldr: your stroke may be silent. Part of your brain may die, and the indicators will be entirely elusive to non stroke-specialist doctors while it dies. Headaches that last for days need medical attention. Just because you're female doesn't mean it's hormones. Trust yourself.

Reading about the women who have, according to Mail, launched ‘the most significant female movement since the Suffragettes.’ This one is Caroline Ffiske, whose previous contributions to women’s rights includes the immortal battle cry: ‘I’d like to see the gender pay gap increase’

His website - to which he directed students - contains a list of 'abominations': abortion, homosexuality, pornography, Islam. He street preaches in Golders Green to make 'Jews hear about their messiah.' Misgendering is the tip of a very large iceberg

I've said this before: Ritchie was in his thirties when he had this surgery. I regret a lot of things from my adult life. The man I married at age 26, for example. But I am not suing the state of Kentucky for letting me marry him. That was my choice.

When my daughter hits 18 she will be able to claim benefits without looking for work. What does she even contribute? Well, only love, courage, optimism, hope, peace, joy, kindness- I agree these are not values the Telegraph recognises. #disabilitytwitter #HateSpeech #Shameful

The same people who write endless broadsides about teachers bringing 'ideology' to classrooms are perfect happy for teachers to bring ideology into classrooms. So long as those ideologies are anti-trans, homophobic, sexist, and islamophobic

This Graham Linehan interview is so awful that I had to read it through my fingers. Highlights: Graham has destroyed his career in order to protect his wife and daughter from the transes, only neither of them asked for it and his wife left him because of it:

What left Graham Linehan 'broke' is the fact he became someone who fires off a tweet every 8 minutes for 16 hours of each and every day. You try producing work in the interstices of that punishing schedule! It's a full-time job, but with no money!

Fascists think that LGBT+ people are a symptom of western decadence. Stalinists think that LGBT+ people are a symptom of western decadence. Putin thinks that LGBT+ people are a symptom of western decadence. So do Telegraph columnists, incels and MRAs. Long live decadence

Today, bored in the middle of a boring poetry revision lesson, I put up a slide that read, 'She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge.' Three Year 11s sang-shouted back: 'She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's college' The kids are alright

I know many autistic children who suffer with severe school anxiety. My own child was one of them. The number of them who would respond positively to the head teacher rocking up at the house and asking them to get in their car is precisely zero.

According to Graham Linehan, the BBC is 'grooming' the British public into accepting drag without having a debate about it. This would be the same British public who grew up with panto, Lily Savage, Dame Edna Everage, Les Dawson, Monty Python, Shakespeare, &c &c &c
