As a child bereaved by fatal domestic abuse, headlines calling a man who killed three women a “nice guy” and “normal person” have felt personally traumatic. The media called my father a “gentle man” and “nice chap”, which misrepresented the controlling reality that myself and my family experienced for years. It compounded our trauma. Reporting like this causes so much damage – both to victims’ families, and to public understandings of coercive control. It has to stop. Now. We need every single newsroom trained in how to report domestic abuse deaths, and to lobby the regulator for stronger rules. The press has the power to prevent further deaths and save women’s lives. Please support this crowdfunder I’ve started to support @we_level_up’s crucial work to train journalists in their Dignity For Dead Women guidelines. This takes all of us ➡️ gofundme.com/f/levelup-media

Is it Time to stop calling it “domestic abuse” or “violence against women & girls”? It’s MALE VIOLENCE When we identify the perpetrator rather than just the victim, we have a chance of eliminating it because we focus on the cause & not only it’s effect

I can't stress this enough. I want my kids to grow up with an NHS. Rivers that aren't filled with s**t. An end to the epidemic of food banks. Libraries reopened. Trains that run on time. Politicians that don't fake integrity - only to pull poundshop Trump stunts like this.
I can’t stress this enough. Labour will take more of your money. Labour will raise your taxes. Don’t surrender your family's finances to Labour.

Today we launch our month long campaign to drive awareness of coeliac disease. ​ ​ Did you know that an estimated 500,000 people in the UK are living with undiagnosed coeliac disease? That’s why this year, we’re doubling down on our mission to find those individuals and guide them towards the answers they need.​ ​ Throughout May, we're shedding light on the various faces of undiagnosed coeliac disease and uncovering lesser-known facts about associated conditions like Down’s syndrome and autoimmune thyroid disease. Our goal? To encourage as many as possible to take our free online self-assessment so they can get on the road to recovery faster.​ ​ But we’re not stopping there! Our calendar is jam-packed with events - from local meetups to an online cook-along with our Ambassador @beckyexcell . Plus, we've got weekly blogs, podcasts, competitions, and so much more lined up!​ ​In addition to our community focused initiatives, we’re taking our campaign straight to the heart of legislative power across the UK. Following our successful reception in the Scottish Parliament last year, we’re hosting similar events in the Welsh Parliament (Senedd) and the Northern Ireland Assembly. We'll also be engaging policymakers across all four UK parliaments through questions, debates, and motions.​ ​ You will also meet Mita, Anne, Tim, Joshua, his mum Dawn, and Joshua’s brother Joe - brave individuals who’ve shared their experiences as part of our campaign. Watch their video stories, and don’t forget to share your own on social media using our hashtags #CoeliacAwarenessMonth and #CoeliacStories.​ ​ There are countless ways to amplify our message and support our cause. Share your story online, organise an awareness event, check for local volunteer-led activities, or simply keep an eye out for BFree Foods stone-baked pitta breads in your supermarket - 20p for every pack sold in May goes towards supporting Coeliac UK.​ ​ How will you join in? Whether you're sharing your story, hosting an event, or supporting our cause in your community, every action counts. Find out more and get involved here: bit.ly/4dlTIVu #CoeliacUK #CoeliacDisease #Coeliac #CeliacDisease #Celiac

There’s no food. People will die in a few hours without functioning ventilators. In front of the main gate, there are many bodies, there are also injured patients, we can’t bring them inside.
