Including voices from both sides of the debate, the primary focus is on two pro choice campaigners - veteran Ailbhe Smyth & glitter-activist Andrea Horan, as they chart a bold strategy of grassroots activism and engineer the impossible. See it now! bit.ly/the8thuk

Who do YOU think would be a great new volunteer team member for the AIMS Campaigns Steering Group? It's an interesting question ... I'm tagging people who might want to suggest the role to a contact etc - not seeking to pressurize anyone to be clear!

#marchformidwives Leeds 2pm. This is normal for Leeds midwives too. It is not acceptable @BBCRadioLeeds @LeedsHospitals @LeedsMVP @DrDave89
Replying to @birthrightsorg
We know that midwives go over and above to give good care but not being able to drink, eat or even go to the toilet for hours on end are not acceptable working conditions.
#marchformidwives Leeds. @LeedsMVP @LeedsHospitals @BBCRadioLeeds training midwives is not enough we need to enable them to do the job the way they were trained. Because we are burning them out now.
This is why I'm joining the march for Midwives on Sunday.
