Our new research, conducted in partnership with @MCPCRCCardiff, found strong support among the public and parents for including grief education in school curriculums – a key recommendation of the @theUKCB. Read the report here➡️ shorturl.at/DWGQM

We're saddened this morning to hear of the death of the inimitable Frank Field.
Bereaved children and their parents couldn't have hoped for a better champion as he and the @CommonsWorkPen 'took up the cudgels' on their behalf.
Thank you🙏

Productive discussion today with @WidowedAndYoung @CBNtweets regarding the bereavement support payment ahead of @HannahB4LiviMP and I meeting @MelJStride tomorrow. We will be asking what the government will do to rectify the current situation for bereaved families.

I had such a lovely talk to Laura about my amazing EAR SASS business journey and what happened when I found out the princess has worn the ISSY STAR earring’s in honour of my cousin Issy who we lost to suicide in April 2023.

I remember reporting on this change when it came in. I was presenting on LBC and a man called in to tell me had been given just weeks to live. But he said he would be better dying quickly because surviving would cost his family £50k. Today @will_l_a raised this with PM
After meeting with the prime minister @RishiSunak earlier, I am delighted that he has committed to a further meeting with @MelJStride at the @DWPgovuk to discuss the issue of the bereavement support payments for widowed parents. Thank you to @HannahB4LiviMP for facilitating.

Thank you @andrewlearmonth for shining a light on this issue. Can only hope that meeting with the PM will make a difference to bereaved families.

When @will_l_a lost her husband at 35 she was left alone with 3 kids under 5. Nothing prepared her for that grief & loss.
To make it worse, bereavement support payments have been cut to just 18 months.
I’m so glad the PM has agreed to met us to discuss what more can be done🙏.

Well done to the pupils of @eastcalder_ps for a fun session ‘the class who fell asleep today’ at the @EduScotland conference. Not only engaging in their presentation but so articulate in answering questions from the audience. A credit to the school 👏 👏

Shocked at the @LoveWestLothian proposed closure of local pools. I grew up swimming in Broxburn pool three times a week. My swim training taught me about discipline and team work. Swimming is an essential skill for children and this decision must be reversed @HannahB4LiviMP
Our #SaveOurPools petition is now live!
Show support for swimming pools and push to secure financial relief to keep them open 💙

Getting the feeling that getting the Tories out of power will be a driving narrative of the next general election. Whatever it takes these people have got to go and go big … tactical voting has helped and can help again in a general election. Next stages now all about Labour 1/2
