@Emily_Benn That is so wonderful of you all. When I was in my mid20s a friend died. I was in Cardiff for work, had to make the journey back alone. I wasn't crying but must have looked absolutely devastated. A woman came over and spoke with me until her stop. I will never forget her kindness.

During my time we doubled income at the charity & created viral campaigns reaching over 2 billion. I'm proud of our real stories platform, research studies, campaigners programme and partnerships that ensure everything we do has people with visible difference front and centre 3/

@WEP_UK @Amandajane_CP @ManduReid @catherine_mayer @sanditoksvig @WEPMiltonKeynes @WEPDisability I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I first met Amanda in the first few months of lockdown through The Parliament Project. She brought such energy, drive and good humour to our calls. Sending love to her family and friends.

I'm currently recovering after having my gallbladder removed. On surgery day I was treated with total dignity and respect. I felt cared for and safe (I'm pretty sure it wasn't just the dihydrocodeine 😉) A nurse was holding my hand when I came round. This is only worth 1%?

It's my Mum's birthday today and bro's on Sunday. And the little scamp in this photo turned five last week! (The Deakins do group photos only under duress) Thinking of those who can't be with the people they care about and sending you love this weekend. Happy birthday Mum!❤️
