Really disappointed with the new labour government. Schools are already on their knees, having made budget cut after budget cut, year after year. This will have, and is having, a direct impact on the quality children’s education #InvestInEducation #ValueEducation

“I have seen men survive diseases that women do not because of the care that women caregivers provide to their male partner when they are sick-I have only seen that happen once or twice for a female patient being taken care of by a man when she is sick.” My jaw is on the floor.

Thinking about payment for involvement/co-production today and has anyone who has ever used highstreet vouchers (e.g. Love2Shop) ever tried to use/spend them? A demoralising experience, imo, personally. I've had them refused by shop staff more than accepted.
