Exactly!
Am I alone in being bemused by the ‘new’ definition of ‘staycation’? 🤔😂 I may be being daft but, if you stay at home (& do day trips etc) that’s a ‘staycation’ isn’t it? If you go to a hotel, B&B or rental somewhere in the same country, that’s still a HOLIDAY! Rant over 😎
The hate crime trainers had a great planning day yesterday thinking about ways to include people who have PMLD in our hate crime workshops #inclusion #sensory #roleplay

I fully support the right to choose an abortion. But it feels wrong that my own 23 week old fetus will soon be protected from my choice to abort, unless they happen to have Downs Syndrome meaning I could have an abortion right up to 40 wks. This sends such a strong, sad signal.
A woman with Down's syndrome is launching a legal challenge to current abortion laws. The law allows terminations up to full term in cases of "severe foetal abnormality" in England, Scotland and Wales. Heidi speaks to #BBCBreakfast about the case. bbc.in/3hj9tBg
