Hear this @bbcproms @RoyalAlbertHall - we won't give up on this gross unfairness!!
I will not give up on keeping my ticket to next year, and I suggest you don’t either. I’m emailing RAH, BBC and all the execs who run the proms. They cannot take the one in a million ballot win away from us it’s grossly unfair

Our strategy document lays out our campaigning priorities and explains why retaining the word "woman" when delivering services and championing rights in pregnancy is so important.

My friend John has been working on this list. It's the division of labour between him and his wife, Claire.
Claire is a great hands-on, active, fun mum. And she's so laid back, it's unreal! TOTAL LEGEND. Isn't John lucky?

Afghanistan has dropped out of our news cycle again but everything feared about what would happen to women is happening. A medieval theocracy is being imposed on a generation who grew up with relative freedom. It's unbearable.

To all the men in power making decisions about childcare while their wives do - or arrange - all the childcare: WE NEED MORE SUPPORT.
I have a two-year-old kid. To put him in nursery for half days, Monday-Friday, costs £500 a month with tax-free childcare in place.

Recently started #HRT (thanks to @ThisisDavina- massive influence). But horrified to find that a months pack of 8 patches costs £18.70. Yes 1 month!!!
All women will go through #menopause & we are expected to pay for it in England!
Just how can that not be discriminatory?

Due to recent speculation I thought it was necessary to confirm that I am not Marcus Rashford… And whilst we are here my name is not Mario either!! Just a simple Maro Itoje will do…
Much love,
Marcu… I mean Maro Itoje

"It’s usually understood in healthcare that the more complex the circumstances, the more flexibility is needed. But with abortion, concern for the patient results in calls for greater barriers."
@MSIchoices expertly argue for keeping telemedical abortion

Unbelievable. The government has literally ordered the NHS to lie and describe refurbs & internal building projects as “new” hospitals.
All to fake their “48 new hospitals” pledge.
I think this stinks.
Please RT if you do too.

Some of those most at risk in Afghanistan are the 250 women judges serving in the country who, as the @thebarcouncil and @TheLawSociety have highlighted, are in particular danger. They have put their lives on the line to protect the rule of law and must not be abandoned.
