Great to read our sociologist @Jennyhvh interview in today’s @thetimes about the importance of close friendships, and how labelling friendships ‘toxic’ can be unhelpful 👯‍♀️❤️

Feel lucky that my #SEND child got a place at a specialist school. Know so many others struggling without the right educational support.
GeorginaFullerWriter@GeorgieR302 Mar 2023
As the mum of a #SEND child currently battling to get a place at a specialist school, this is welcome news & long overdue. The current system is broken, underfunded & not fit for purpose. The lack of support is shameful. Glad to see something being done.. thetimes.co.uk/article/more-…

Loving the @bbc5live clichés chat @chriswarburton_ @DrWordy. Worst corporate cliché I ever heard: ‘we need to open our kimonos’. Was many years ago and thankfully never heard since! @NewsMmu @ManMetUni

We are dismayed, disappointed, and deeply concerned. UK Gov has just approved the use of a banned pesticide so powerful; a single teaspoon could kill 1.25 billion bees. This is a huge mistake. If we want to #DefendNature we must #SayNoToNeonics. 👉 wtru.st/say-no-neonics-again
