Hello , I’ve written another letter to @antanddec about the ongoing appalling abuse of animals on @ITV programme @imacelebrity . I’ve tried to be polite but my patience has run thin . If you agree with what it says please RT . #ImACeleb

Is there a specific email to complain about @asda delivering me a box of crisps that had been half eaten by rodents? Currently I am just fobbed off with vouchers for a store that has rodents! What a waste of @walkers_crisps too.

We should be DEEPLY troubled about the sustained attack some of our LGBT+ charities find themselves under for standing up for trans people in the UK. Disturbed and angered that Mermaids can’t even offer support and advice because of the sorry situation we find ourselves in.
Due to intolerable abuse, we have made the decision to close the helpline and webchat services for the rest of today and tomorrow. Next week, to enable us to take all volunteers off the rota, we will reduce hours to 9am to 6pm only.

At Parliament square supporting #SendNationalCrisis march with colleagues and students from @Cass_UEL the system must change to support young people with SEND to get the lives they want. Brilliant there are 20 marches across country!! @DrCarrieWeston @LArnold_
Arrived at @SkyNews to discuss today’s countrywide demonstrations about the #SendNationalCrisis .. a £287 million pound funding gap for disabled children. Education & care should be enshrined

Send National Crisis campaigners delivering a 13,000-signature petition to Downing Street. "This is clearly a crisis, with pupils and parents bearing the brunt of real-terms funding cuts...". Kevin Courtney, NEU Joint GS #SendNationalCrisis neu.org.uk/funding/send-cris…

The 90% of families who won at ftt weren't told that there wasn't enough funds, they were told that their children didn't need the extra provision. Extra funding won't change that, but I'm marching today in the hope it'll demonstrate the way the system isn't working.
Gathering in London and all over the UK tomorrow to unite those in education, families and individuals with #SEN to protest against the funding cuts in schools @SENDCrisis #SENDNationalCrisis #OurKidsMatter

Today exhausted families will take to the streets to show that we are in crisis with a system at breaking point. Let's get @SENDcrisis #SendNationalCrisis trending today so they hear us. If you can't march please share
Education is a right, it shouldn't be a fight! Please retweet for #SendNationalCrisis to help kids with disabilities get an education. @NEUnion @JackLopresti @BBCBristol @itvwestcountry @SendCrisis @FFFschoolsBris @BristolPost @SendEmergency

#proudtobeadifficultparent at least we aren’t cheating children out of their rightful education by lying and disregarding the law

Supporting my children, advocating for them, learning SEN law, having the courage to go to tribunals and not accept No, getting the provision they need to succeed, yes I am! #proudtobeadifficultparent

You’ve done us a favour. Highlighted yet again how we are thought of by LAs and other orgs. #proudtobeadifficultparent teapaw.org/ignataeducation/status…

Absolutely love the hashtag #proudtobeadifficultparent ❤️ to everyone who criticises the tenacity of SEND parents for passionately advocating for their child, try walking a mile in our shoes and see how it feels to be negatively labelled for doing your best

"We don’t know difficult families, we know families who simply want what other families want – for their children to be healthy, happy, fulfilling their potential and surrounded by love and laughter." #proudtobeadifficultparent teapaw.org/DimensionsUK/status/92…
"Sometimes you see something that just makes you fume! An employment agency has advertised a post working with SEND children and families that requires an ability to work with ‘difficult families'." Family Consultant @hillsideliz blogs dimensions-uk.org/families-p…
