Someone tried to knock me down this week and intimidate me into submission and silence and I just want to say to that person (who watches me carefully on twitter) that they did not win and I'm going to be using my voice today stronger than ever.

Women have the right to decide who is at their birth. This right is currently being denied. @JackieSmith_nmc @Jeremy_Hunt #savethemidwife

Women remember birth till the time they face death. It is so important that it's a ➕memory not a ➖burden to carry. theguardian.com/artanddesign…
