I had hoped I wouldn't need to post this. I don't invade my sister's privacy lightly, but I have no choice. This is the only thing I can do to help her. A 🧵 Clare has Rett syndrome. She can't communicate and needs 24-hour care. Her disability means her breathing's compromised.

I’ve just been told that when my brother passed away on the M50 on Friday that several cars stopped and people sat around him until the ambulance came so he wasn’t alone, i really want to find them if people can please share 🤍

Ok let’s talk about desensitisation…👀 I don’t know how many sudden deaths I’ve been to. I can’t tell you how many dead bodies I’ve seen. That’s not a normal thing to say is it? (⚠️ Health warning for the rest of this post. ⚠️) But that’s my job. As a Response Cop and now Sergeant, we deal with sudden deaths and murders, daily. Why? To ensure there’s no foul play and conduct an initial investigation incase there may have been. Last year one of my good friends (a fellow Sergeant) and I went to a “One Under” on the Underground. I’ve been to quite a few, he hadn’t. Seeing a human body cut in two by a train isn’t something that leaves you quickly. My friend was rather shaken by it, understandably, we left to get some fresh air and talked about how bizarre our job is. The next call we attended was a noise complaint in a well to-do part of town. Having to be calm and rational at the next call when you’ve see what you’ve seen isn’t easy. That revellers don’t know you’ve just seen something they can’t comprehend, but you have to enforce the law. Behave rationally. It’s truly not an easy thing to do. Then, you finish your shift, go home, see your family and stare into the middle distance, trying be you. I won’t describe what a human body looks like after it’s hit the ground having jumped from a tower block, because you really don’t want to know, but it's been imprinted on my brain at least a dozen times. I’d argue we’re some of the most messed up people you’ll ever meet. Yet we’re also expected to work #PublicOrder most weekends, be rational, calm and deal with the frustrations of society. This job isn’t challenging, it’s pretty impossible. So that’s why I back Cops, that’s why I stand up for them and say it like it is. #ThinBlueLine 🚨

A privilege to be invited to meet some of our local children and talk to them about @LincsPolice #drones at the Active Arena #lincoln activearena.co.uk this morning. They very quickly got to grips flying the #avata2 & loved the immersive experience. #dronesforgood

This tweet is for you if harsh things others have said & cruel jagged things you say to yourself are getting you down & making you feel lesser. Difficult words stick way more readily in the brain-it can make this super hard. My photo below might calm your mind for a moment x

These 10 graphics summarize some of life's hardest lessons: 1/ Distractions fill the space we give them.

48 people died and 378 seriously injured last year in Lincolnshire. Repost to make the #Fatal5Pledge 🚨 I will not drink/drug drive. 🚨 I will not speed. 🚨 I will not be distracted. 🚨 I will not be careless. 🚨 I will wear a seatbelt. Make Lincolnshire’s roads safer.

This is so true. But please RT if you’re not prepared to let the NHS go without a fight.

My niece Beth has gone missing. She got on the Jubilee line at Westminster towards Stratford. She’ll be confused - if you see her please DM

£42 for each child raped from the Home Office who. £169,000 per person in the failed Rwanda plan. No hours of debate on the child abuse inquiry, no Tory rebellion that not 1 of recommendations has been done by Govt. No amendments from 5 families. No extra judges for rape victims.

As the issue of compensation for miscarriages of justice is rightly in the news, it’s timely to note that in 2014, the government changed the law to make it all but impossible for people wrongly convicted and imprisoned to claim compensation.

For those following the domestic drama: good news. I’ve won the argument & the Christmas tree lights stay on until the close of play on the Feast of Epiphany: 6 January. (They could stay lit until Candlenas on 2 February, but I’m not going to press the point.)

An MP sacked for inappropriate sending of emails was re employed as the Home Sec. Current Home Sec jokes about a date rape drug. Previous PM partied with Russians with, ahem, interesting connection and against Intel Services advice and then lobbied for a KGB connected Russian 1/2
