My 79 y/o mum has been in hospital since Saturday. We waited 8 hours for an ambulance then spent entire day in the back of it outside A&E. She's still in a bed in the corridor. Paramedics & A&E staff have been amazing but this is shocking. @WGHealthandCare the system is broken.

I've just signed an open letter to the PM, calling him to prioritise the role of reading for pleasure for children through better funding and policy. If you feel strongly about this too, take a read and do your bit https://t.co/ZFfXIM7MQa

Libraries as sanctuaries of hope - that's something we really should be able to get behind. They are so, so much more than the sum of their very important parts. Thank you @uksla for inviting me to your lovely celebration of school libraries and school librarians #SLACelebrates
Our President @richardgerver ‘Our libraries are sanctuaries of hope’ #SLACelebrates ‘We need to get better at telling stories, that’s what today is about a celebration of our stories & we need to be proud enough to tell our own’
