@DavidMuttering What an unbelievable lot of bollox separates the establishment from the proletariat. Uniforms divide. Those who are brave enough let’s have a 21C rethink

It’s the Lord Chancellors Breakfast tomorrow - the official opening of the legal year. As a new QC, I get an invite (and sit quietly at the back). Now reassembling my full ceremonial dress...

@Monster Waitress? Really? Sex Discrimination Act 1975

We're hiring a Waitress. Are you a fit?

Just appalling. Universal Credit, the benefit that creates more poverty.

Things you did not see on the side of the Brexit bus.

Our team are happy to have their gold standard of care viewed by others if it improves overall practice. Also staff feel reassured when accidents happen that their version of events can be supported

I mean there aren’t cameras so how can you be sure? Being a mother of an autistic child isn’t likely to reduce the chances of abuse occurring in a school/institution one is involved with? (For the record I didn’t say anything about Anna’s school but...)

It is their human right to feel safe

Ideally it shouldn't be needed however if cameras were implemented you would have to strike a balance between preserving the well being of the disabled individual and respecting their privacy. /1

We need to learn more from the goid instead of building systems based just on the bad.

@sunnysingh_n6 Wrapping generalisation of this Brit

Uzma Aslam Khan’s latest is making huge waves in South Asia. Rightly so given its unflinching examination of British colonialism. Shocking but sadly unsurprised that she has no UK publisher. Brits prefer their historical fiction as prettied fluff with imperial horrors erased

I promised I would share the books I read this summer. So here is a #thread of books. I won’t ‘review’ or rate these but I enjoyed reading all of them for different reasons. All of them were food for the mind, and some also for the soul. #MyBooksofSummer2019

If we feel that cameras are the solution we are missing the point about everything that is wrong in care.

@PaulaMc007 Done

#Oliverscampaign I want to make this clear that there are many fantastic care workers looking after vulnerable people in all establishments. My petition is because there are a few Carers who abuse vulnerable people horrifically petition.parliament.uk/petitions/2733…

@PaulaMc007 Legislation often happens to protect the majority from the few. I am in favour of blanket CCTV as a preventative measure and so are my fabulous care team who know they are beyond reproach

#Oliverscampaign I tweeted earlier this week about my proposed petition asking for care workers to wear body cameras However after asking opinions of this, Human rights was mentioned Therefore I have requested to amend my petition to cameras in all communal areas Views please

Seems @andrealeadsom has blocked us (see reply). Likely as a result of us sharing this video of her views on #Prorogation and saying any self respecting politician would resign in the circumstances. Please whatever you do, do not RT WIDELY, she really does not like it!

THE big question our media should be asking Johnson & his cronies is: Where are you getting this never-ending supply of money for a No Deal Brexit when you justified austerity by saying we'd run out of money? Retweet if you think our media should be asking this obvious question

The Clampits

Morning, kids. Our documentary, All Woman starts tonight C4, 10pm. I asked artist @ben_cameron to make these lovely, exclusive pin-badges for all contributors and there's a couple left. RT if you want one & I'll pick two winners later. Whoop! ♥️📺♥️🎨

@drhelcurran This is so typical it barely causes a raised eyebrow. I got an email to Mrs Babbs introducing new SW wanting to urgently discuss Michaela ‘s provision. I know neither of these people. Called said SW who didn’t bother to call me back. Plus ca change

I give to you our immensely talented Secretary of State for International Trade...#BorisShamblesCabinet RT if this petrifies you...
