Everyone saying PM shd condemn far right violence in London yday (Shabana Mahmood already has)/ leave X is right. But same for Kemi Badenoch. No Conservative Party can condone thugs attacking police horses & calls for violent uprising. Even Farage has gone up against Yaxley-Lennon ffs.
And if Iβm scared, a white middle class straight married woman, my brothers and sisters in other communities are feeling besieged. But we must stand together against this rise and hate.
Iβm scared of Reform, Iβm scared of the continuing rise of the far right. But moreover Iβm scared of the continuing legitimisation of far right ideology and politics into the mainstream.
We are still to buy new colour PE trainers and bag, and football boots, and shin We have yet to buy all the new stationary she needs. So far we have spent almost Β£450. Luckily her feet havenβt grown so she can keep her shoes for a bit longer..
Eldest starting secondary school for the first time. She needs branded blazer, jumper, PE tops. Also had to buy new style shirts, new colour skirts, and socks, PE leggings. We had to buy a new coat and rucksack as her school only allows plain black.
Feel very proud of our wonderful Sing Like You Mean It ποΈ choir. The weekly sessions bring joy to my life, and now our single of Hold Back The River by @JamesBayMusic for @braintumourrsch is out today. You can listen, watch and donate all on this link: lnkd.in/erZQ3EVr
Elon trashed his brand for Trump. And for what? This. Everything. Trump. Touches. Dies. (May you get precisely what you deserve)
Big question from the 5 year old as I am settling her to sleep βMummy why do we loveββ¦.. π€―
Stick man oh stick man you excellent friendβ¦
Raging, absolutely raging that @disneyplusuk.bsky.social cancelled the magnificent Extraordinary. Especially on such a cliffhanger.
Walking home with my 5 year old. School friend calls over across the road and say hello, and then, βIs that your granny or your mummyβ. Brutal
National Secondary School Offer Day. Terrified I did something wrong suddenly and forgot to upload birth certificate or similar. Have to wait until 5pm. Spent last night not sleeping.
Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy shifted gears beautifully, naturally, and sympathetically with one of the best depictions of grief Iβve seen on screen. My husband and I wept. My sister in law died in May, leaving a husband and son the same age as Billy. This film allowed us to grieve.
Yβall come quick, the museums are doing super bowls again
Deeply upset by this decision. This is such a retrograde step.
The removal of a dementia diagnosis target is unacceptable.
It sends the message that dementia doesnβt matter and highlights a staggering lack of focus on a devastating condition that affects nearly a million people in the UK.

White text on a blue background reads: Dementia diagnosis is a priority. The word 'is' is highlighted and underlined.
π¨ Breaking news
The new @england.nhs.uk planning guidance published today contains nothing on dementia.
Like you, we think thatβs unacceptable.
Dementia is a priority. Diagnosis is a priority. We cannot ignore the UK's biggest killer anymore.

Iβm continuing to call on Bromley Conservatives to cancel their cruel plans to charge disabled Blue Badge holders
Theyβd be the first and only London Council to do so. Itβs time they listened to local residents who are overwhelmingly opposed π

I did feel like it was an oral examination practice! She then said βWhy did the First World War start?β Didnβt quite have the energy to go into the geo political structure of Europe in the early 20th century during bedtime.
Anne-Marie Duff opens up to @thetimes.com about her brother, Eddie, living with young-onset dementia.
From difficulties with diagnosis, struggles finding care homes catering to under 65s and the need for dementia training in the social care workforce.

5 year old calls me into her room after weβve said goodnight. βMummy what happened in World War One and Twoβ. She picks her momentsβ¦.
To everyone watching The Traitors finale tonight, we also have shows too. No idea what they are because of The Traitors finale but if you can catch up on our shows on streaming later that would be great.
Thank you for calling out this ridiculous and cruel plan by Bromley Council.
Whole family excited for #gladiators
Denis Law standing with his foot on a football, playing for Manchester United in the 1960s.
Weβre deeply saddened by the news that our supporter, Denis Law, has died with dementia. Weβll be forever grateful that Denis and his family raised not only money for Alzheimerβs Society, but a great deal of awareness too. Our thoughts are with all his friends and family π
π¨ Our Head of Local Systems Influencing, Tim Baverstock, has described The RCN's reports of the increasingly demanding NHS front line 'corridor care' as 'harrowing'.
Particularly when patients with dementia have been distressed or unable to receive appropriate care. 1/4
