Strange my baby been thriving on doubt for 6 months. TBH it weakens your perspective when you talk nonsense. Was this meant to make me feel guilty? .Happy mum happy baby whether breast or bottle fed. Support women to make informed choices. Do better.
Infant formula companies don't sell nutrition — they sell doubt. Marketing convinces mothers they're not enough. @WHO @ibfanglobal @UNICEF

Anything to avoid a wealth tax @UKLabour @RachelReevesMP @leicesterliz .you have an opportunity to make a real difference but you refuse, I will never vote Labour again-Labour have turned their back on ordinary people #taxwealth @garyseconomics 🙏 @jeremycorbyn @zarahsultana
The IMF urges UK govt to end the pensions triple lock and charging for NHS treatment. Condemning pensioners to poverty and denying healthcare to low/middle income families is part of the right wing agenda. Anything to avoid taxing corporations & the rich.
