For the Europa League final in 2016 I travelled 24h by train to get to Basel, got to the ground an hour before kick off, turned around after the game and went straight home. But cup finals can and should be about more than just winning. LINK: https://t.co/PNSNzqNpnq

I commissioned this column by Jenni Murray back when I was doing a bit of work for Prospect in 2022. In defence of @MumsnetTowers. A journalist who didn't shy from the truth, and who paid a price for that. https://t.co/IX0BptAGpv

All of Liverpool’s most famous nights have been soundtracked by defiance, but Anfield isn’t angry this season, it’s apathetic. 🔗 Full article here: https://t.co/ytIjy7oJva

💪 Positive to see #PublishParentalLeave included as a suggested action for employers in new govt guidance today. 🗣️ But guidance alone won’t fix the problem. We’ll keep campaigning to make parental leave transparency mandatory. https://t.co/SfC9SPYsC5

US corporations are knowingly harming our children to enrich themselves. Let’s force this government to grow a pair. No more consultation bullshit. Great campaign from @MumsnetTowers #supporthesocialban (And no, none of my children have smartphones.)

Proud of this. If social media were a cigarette, it would already be banned for under-16s.
Today, we've launched a major new ad campaign highlighting the damage that social media is doing to our kids. Most phones have unlimited access to harmful content. We back a ban on social media for under 16s. Do you? #SupportTheSocialBan

Sadly, none of this will come as a surprise to the thousands of women who have shared horrific experiences of maternity care on Mumsnet over the years. More than half of our users tell us they are less likely to have more children because of their experience of maternity care,

If you have pre-school-aged grandchildren, or kids in the first couple of years of primary school, it is almost certain that they will have watched YouTube this week.
