Good luck Dan @DanJarvisMBE hope you're well. Great victory.

Bad things happen when leaders are appointed just because they fit “the type” rather than being any good. Posh accent, arrogant, privately educated, all the connections, supremely confident & condescending & totally useless. God I’ve met so many like this. theguardian.com/uk-news/arti…

@FruitflyC are hosting a conference on Parenting with Cancer today. I'm looking forward to hearing about and understand how @LOHA_health can support parents talk about hereditary cancer.
Looking forward to running a workshop with the @huntingtons_ @HDA_tweeting Huntingtons Disease Society this morning. We are looking at family communication, supporting parents and carers to have conversations about HD with their children and manage their mental health.

500k young people being prescribed anti-depressants. The reasons we need to challenge this approach. @LOHA_health
One of the issues that is fuelling the poor mental health of children and young people is their feelings of isolation and lack of connection. We can build connection and care starting within the family to radically transform society. @LOHA_health
A radical humanity: how connection and care can help renew Britain with Hilary Cottam.
For the latest edition of the Policy Lab magazine, we spoke to celebrated social entrepreneur and author @HilaryCottam about how we can transform society together.

Wonderful afternoon guesting on @OriordanLiz podcast #sonowivegotbreastcancer Giving tips and advice on communication and emotional support to her listeners who are parents.

It's not just discrimination in appointment. If men executives feel threatened, they become extremely abusive, using bullying and harassment to prevent themselves from getting found out for their second-rate leadership.
