Great video highlighting important point(s). Children, and their families are missed out of the DfE neurodiverse task force group - the group that is 'supposed' to represent them. The DfE need to rectify this!! #TheForgottenMillion #DevLangDis (Great acting @wordaware.bsky.social)

GB News actually aired commentary likening "the LGBT flag" to Nazi imagery (content warning) Is this really a channel that M&S are comfortable to align with? You can take action by leaving a comment on the M&S Facebook page asking them to #StopFundingHate www.facebook.com/MarksandSpen...

I know we all have much more important things to worry about right now. But just hopping on to say how fascinating it is that so many fans of the delicious Tony's Chocolonely fail to notice the second "L" in the name until you point it out. It's like a linguistic illusion.

We need a new narrative around immigration. Immigrants are essential for the UK. Without it, most services and undustrues would collapse. That's why I'm wearing my badge with pride

Ever wondered about the word "quisling"? It is the surname of Vidkun Quisling, a Norwegian politician who collaborated so hard with Nazi Germany that we now use his surname to mean "someone who is a traitor to their own country."

If you think, as I do, that GB News' open hostility to the LGBT+ community and Black and Brown people tacitly encourages violence we've made it very easy for you to tell Sky, one of its biggest advertisers, to stop funding hate. Please use and share. action.goodlawproject.org/sky-stop-fun...

Following the #investinSLT debate, I have a meeting pencilled in, on Monday 24th March, with Stephen Kinnock (Minister of State at the Department of Health and Social Care). 10 years of raising awareness, making connections and campaigning and finally those who can bring are starting to listen.
