UK. Today. Tory MP’s voted against helping hungry kids, but voted themselves a pay rise. Hungry kids denied any semblance of empathy and kindness, whilst Gov consultants are still given up to £7k a day consultancy fees. And we’re letting this happen. We can do more.
"We try not to eat a lot in one day, even though most of us are really hungry." Almost 1 in 3 children in the UK are now growing up poor, like Cameron and his two sisters whose family rely on a food bank to help fill the fridge.

A belated message of support in #BabyLossAwarenessWeek for the #ChangingMiscarriageCare campaign being led by my friend @ShonaRobison. Not only has Shona - like so many other women - gone through miscarriage herself, she was a great source of support to me when I did.

The 6 month mark in any sustained crisis is always difficult. We have all adjusted to this "new normal", but might now feel like we're running out of steam. Yet, at best, we are only 1/3 the way through this marathon. How can we keep going? THREAD /x

So wonderful. Thank you. Everyone should watch this when it is published. The story about the number 2 in the maths lesson was a powerful window into Fi's world. After a few glimpses of understanding about autism, this was the first time I've come even close to feeling it.
'Society is disabling, not autism' Fi Bailey on the idea that frees her up to be autistic in the world. #CMSpectrum
