Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

After the recent death of my son James to #MentalHealth I’m at a loss as to my longer term plans. Our 30 acre farm with 10 acres woodland, close proximity to a train station could be perfect for something for young people with MH difficulties. Which organisations to consider? 🤔

It’s celebrations all round for the Our Voice Choir who have won for Corporate Services. The Choir are self-funded and meet in their own time to learn songs to perform at hospital events, including the Baby Memorial service, Wave of Light service and an end of year service

2000 pound bombs dropped on tents full of families in a supposed safe area. It's beyond belief that they are getting away with this horror day in, day out.

It’s not even 6am and I already covered two different bombings with hundreds of deaths in north Gaza .

🧵 Just to recap, because events move so fast, it’s hard to make sense of them: firstly, a group of far right politicians, social media ‘names’ & organised fascists jumped on a tragedy to claim that the person responsible for the carnage in Southport was a Muslim / refugee. 1/13

Trans people and their advocates have been saying for years that transphobia will easily be weaponized against cis and intersex women who don't conform to trad femininity, threatening all women in the process. And that's exactly what is happening

Spare a thought for Tony Hill who has been working at break neck speed in blazing hot sun to rebuild the Southport mosque wall before the far right can return. He said: “And if we have to build it again afterwards we will do just that.”

🚨 MASSIVE NEWS 🚨 The British Medical Association has requested that the implementation of the Cass Reviews recommendations now be paused AND trans patients of ALL AGES to continue to receive healthcare. This is so its own evaluation of the doomed Cass review can take place.

YOUR actions are highly irresponsible and WILL put vulnerable young people at risk.
Replying to @wesstreeting
Some of the public statements being made are highly irresponsible and could put vulnerable young people at risk. I know there’s lots of fear and anxiety. I am determined to improve the quality of, and access to, care for trans people. 8/9

We are deeply concerned about the Health Secretary’s comments and the politicising a process that is a personal one between patient and trained health professionals. That’s why we have written this open letter to @naushabah_khan, @LaurenREdwards and @cllrtrisosborne

This morning I wrote to my MP, the Leader of the House of Commons, re @wesstreeting breaking precedent and politically intervening in established medical practice. Puberty blockers are safe, effective and offer trans children options and time.
