I’ve spent my whole life being told I’m too loud & too opinionated so I’ve consciously tried to keep quiet and not rock the boat when I’m in public but it’s got me nowhere. So I say to any loud, opinionated young women out there, if anyone tells you to keep quiet, shout louder

My son Isaac; diagnosed autistic at 21 months. Told he would never talk properly, then he’d never cope in mainstream then never get GCSEs, certainly not anything higher. But he proved them wrong and here he is holding his 2:1 degree certificate in accountancy and finance👏🏼

Sunak has made Tory donor Stephen Massey temp chairman of party after sacking Zahawi over tax dodging scandal. Massey works for a firm that helps rich avoid taxes & in 2007 was himself found by HMRC to have tried to avoid tax on £5m he got in bonuses.

If you are absent 3 times or more within a 6 month period as a teacher you face a review meeting and your competence to teach is assessed. How come MP’s on twice the salary can show up to work as and when they feel like it?
