Woman of the Day WW2 German Resistance activist Traute Lafrenz born OTD 1919 in Hamburg, the last surviving member of the White Rose resistance movement. Arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned by the Nazis’ People’s Court, she was rescued by the US Army in 1945 when they…
🧵So it’s all kicked off now. I learn a Covid positive patient who should be in this side room with the door closed has been allowed to sit in the corridor to chat wearing a ‘baggy blue’. I further learn the HCA who put my new cannula in came straight from treating him. 1/
Our brave girl is out of theatre and in Critical Care, she's been in a lot of extreme pain but they are all over it with all sorts of pain relief, the operation itself went well, her surgeon is really pleased with it. The next few days are going to be difficult, but we're just…
Today, Ryan is going on a narrow boat on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. He's been up dressed, ready to go, with his shoes on, since 5 a.m. , he's very excited.
Lied to postmasters, lied to the courts, and now it seems misled the public enquiry - astonishing evidence of depth of deceit over Horizon computer scandal bit.ly/4b1qPfF senior Fujitsu engineer made false statement to court which contradicted report he wrote days before
Boris Johnson was turned away from a polling station for forgetting voter ID under rules he introduced staff initially turned him away as he only had an envelope with his name and address on it, according to a source The absolute state of this lot mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
The idea “every aspect of the support for disabled people” must “help people get into work” is deeply grim from Labour. Benefits and the NHS don’t exist to turn disabled people into economic productively units. They are to help us live well. inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
Benefits are so low that many use some of their PIP to contribute toward cost of food, heating, rent etc. If in vouchers, this will mean many disabled can't even afford the basics, let alone what qualifies as a dignified life - hobbies, self improvement etc
People who do not work or who earn £12,570 a year or less will see no cut. People aged 66 or more will see no cut whether they work or not. And those who live on dividends, rents, and savings interest will see no cut. None of them pays NI so no cut.

One of the most beautiful things about low sunshine on Spring mornings is the way the light picks out every brand new leaf on each tree, as if celebrating their shiny return. The trees shimmered proudly on this little #peakdistrict lane, as if showing off their new clothes.
Ryan did this picture of a penguin today at his daycentre, he's worked really hard on it, I arrived to pick him up and he came running out with it to show me, he's very proud of it . 🐧
@paulapeters2 I knew a man who was disabled used a scooter, eventually had to be rehoused because of threats he received, children throwing dogs poo at him, made his life a misery, he was 55 worked all his life paid tax yet society branded him a drain on society because he received benefits.
@Occ4LifeLtd She said to me that she hears stories like it all the time. She sympathised with me. On the occasion I was threatened with Rape it was six weeks before I left the house. I don’t go on public transport after 7pm if I can help it. Too frightening
@LauraNWay87 Hate crime towards disabled people has rocketed by 50% in the past 4 years alone
#PIP I saw GP yesterday she said why are you not using your walker? You know you are suspectible to falls. I said because of the hostile attitude in my community & on public transport I have been punched before and spat at and threatened with rape. I’m scared out there
My 90 year old mum was turned away at the polling station. She had the right photo ID but no polling card. YOU DO NOT NEED A POLLING CARD TO VOTE. Have reported it and an inspector is on their way but am absolutely beside myself. Confusion reigns.
@LucyHunterB He doesn’t appear to know what he is talking about. The WASPI cohort is women born between 6 April 1950 and 5 April 1960 and no-one else. Younger men and women face ever higher state pension ages and current taxpayers would have to fund the compensation the WASPI women seek

@shut_up_mary Doesn’t mean to say you won’t at some point. I hope you don’t
@paulapeters2 I am so sorry for your awful experiences 🫂 It's terrible our government and press are causing and encouraging such attitudes.
@LucyHunterB He doesn’t appear to know what he is talking about. The WASPI cohort is women born between 6 April 1950 and 5 April 1960 and no-one else. Younger men and women face ever higher state pension ages and current taxpayers would have to fund the compensation the WASPI women seek
@NJM71 @JuliaCoombs8 This is one of my favourite (worst) takes You should give us more now, because they won’t get anything That’s love right there
@JuliaCoombs8 There was no "6 year rise", women's state pension age increased from 60>65 in 1995, almost 30 years ago. There are no plans to abolish the state pension.
I’m getting ahead of myself, but in celebration of May, my favourite month, I’m looking forward to mornings like this again, when the sunrises turn the sky pink and the hawthorn gold, and the old gates do their best to hold back the tides of buttercups spilling from the fields.
I hope the donkey has remembered to bring photo ID.

@EdinburghGrace @kelsterswife @WASPI_Campaign @UKLabour @JonAshworth and where does the National Insurance Fund come from? If you have £10 in your bank account and £200 set aside in your savings account for an upcoming gas bill, do you have an extra £200 to spend now? If so how will you pay the gas bill? NI works the same - to pay future pensions
