She should have retired.She should be doing as she wishes.She should be just Gran.to a grown-up grandchild. But she’s not. She’s stepping in —.again —.filling the gaps where others should be. Not out of duty.Out of love.Out of fear of what happens if she doesn’t #Unpaidcarer.🪡

Imran Hussain MP Bradford East - has spoken really well. Back benchers being treated in the same manner as the disabled community …we all deserve respect and not be fed tit bits of changes and being treated as children. Stop the bill & start again. @mssocietyuk @mscymru.

Sat here listening to the debate in the Commons - feeling very nervous - we even agreed with Esther Mc!! Why are there empty seats? PM??? It should be packed - they are voting about us! We hope they have the ‘balls’ to vote for the amendment. @mscymru @mssocietyuk.
The speaker has selected the reasoned amendment tabled by Rachael Maskell. That means it will be put to a vote at 7pm. If it passes, the bill falls. If MPs vote it down, there will then be a vote on the main motion, that the bill gets a second reading. #TakingThePIP.
