a friend of mine was told by a nursery to submit her nursery placement form for her unborn child after leaving the labour ward on her way to the maternity unit 💀 can you imagine?? it is obscene that access to childcare in the UK is this difficult @PregnantScrewed
She’d repeatedly heard the apocalyptic warning that fertility ‘falls off a cliff’ in your mid-thirties, so @marisajbate was absolutely convinced she’d left it too late 🔗 trib.al/pqTsJ2B
Buiding a seaport for aid into Gaza City will take months during which many more children will die of malnutrition. But if Israel opened the Erez Crossing and cleared the road, aid could be sent in by truck now, and save lives immediately. So why isn't the US insisting on that?
We’re next up! bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00…

This is great news, the escalation from indecent exposure to contact sexual violence against women and girls has been shown again and again. That said, the police actually have to recognise it. Would also be v helpful if men stopped pissing in public theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/m…
Just me and my new non-fiction reads that are going to break my heart and put it back together. 📚#EverythingNothingSomeone by @1steditionalice 📚#WildHope by @marisajbate 📚#Hope by @NiallHarbison 📚#Breathtaking by @doctor_oxford Hope you’re reading something fabulous too!
Today: gov kill vote to ban alleged sex offender MPs, @jessphillips reads out list of murdred women, saying half could have been saved, and we learn Couzens was serial sex offender, dating back 20 years. "Overhaul" is not enough, we should be on the streets
Burn the Met down and start again. "Without a significant overhaul, there is nothing to stop another Couzens operating in plain sight" bbc.co.uk/news/uk-684333…
Sarah Everard's killer Wayne Couzens should never have been police officer. He sexually assaulted a child before joining the job. That’s not just a red flag. A sex offender was given a warrant card. His vile behaviour & language didn’t stand out in the Met bbc.com/news/uk-684333…
"I am tired of fighting for systematic change and being given table scraps" Labour MP Jess Phillips reads the names of the women killed as a result of violence over the past year bbc.in/3TgEPvm
Sorry to be a bit 2014 cupcake feminism about it all but the Rochdale election being fought by 11 men - especially considering the recent history of whistleblowing/campaigning in the area showing Sara Rowbotham and Margaret Oliver to be formidable and noble people - is hilarious?
some people are remarkable but no one should be forced to live like this. How long do we go on ignoring the UK's poverty crisis? theguardian.com/society/2024/f…

I've got a complaint it's been quite hard to get heard, it's about the watering down of safeguards in the workplace when people are arrested for sexual crimes. Perhaps start with that then crack on with a sports company who have no power, making a fashion choice.
