You never know what life can bring, me overtaking @redbullracing @F1 with @danielricciardo in a @mybilitychris powerchair! I should go @SilverstoneUK for #BritishGP & help @MercedesAMGF1 or @AstonMartinF1 what do you think @CroftyF1 😂 #SuicidePrevention #BatonOfHopeUk #F1 – at Towcester, England
Would you be the right people to speak with regarding how we can encourage @BBCNews to tell the stories of suicide survivors and not just those bereaved by suicide? – at Wales, United Kingdom

Regardless thoughts of @GBNEWS & @mrmarkdolan they had courage speaking to a suicide attempt survivor on moving forward, managing dark thoughts & hope.
I now call on @BBCNews @itvnews @Channel4News @5_News @GMB @BBCBreakfast @BBCAccessAll to do the same #SuicidePrevention – at Towcester, England

Which like I say is a great, important start & I'm not critical at all, part of my work is calling for the focus to be split equally between suicide attempts & deaths, so there can be a greater understanding of the bigger picture.
As you say, we still have so much to learn 💚 – at Towcester, England

I'd be very keen to support you with this if interested? I've got #LivedExperience and have been researching #Suicide for a number of years now, whilst also speaking to a large number of #SuicideSurvivors there's much we can learn by speaking to them – at Towcester, England

Do you feel it should be extended to include, following the suicide attempt of a colleague?
40% of those introduced to suicide will make a suicide attempt, it's not solely on the death of someone by suicide.

This is a great start, though it needs to be extended, to include support for when a colleague attempts suicide. You're not only impacted by suicide when there's a death.

#AccessibleHousing wasn't discussed during interview with @michaelgove only #SocialHousing got mentioned, yet its a bigger issue amongst #Disabled
On a renting difficulties report today, #AccessibleHousing again wasn't included. Why?

'Critically we need to make sure we continue to take people with us'
Housing Secretary Michael Gove spoke to #BBCBreakfast after Rishi Sunak promised not to "unnecessarily" add costs and "hassle" to households to hit climate targets.

#BBCBreakfast when you report on renting difficulties, please mention the #AccessibleHousing crisis for people with a #Disability it wasn't mentioned yesterday when you spoke to @michaelgove, myself & @A4IScott are at risk of homelessness @BBCBreakfast @BBCAccessAll @FoxNikkiFox – at Towcester, England
I'm quiet as I'm ill, #chronicpain is worse than usual, spreading to upper arms/hands, plus I've been having vertigo symptoms & is worse when I go on my phone! #SuicideSurvivor #DisabledLife #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityPrideMonth – at Towcester, England

Thanks ever so much hunny, means alot 💚
You did Amazing Nick. I thought you were extremely knowledgeable especially as a survivor of suicide. @BBCWorld @BBCNewsPR @BBCNews really should have you on their show/s, this is a very important subject. Myself as a survivor of suicide would like to feel part of a community

Ever thought of changing the name from "crisis"?
I've been speaking to a number of people about this & there's some interesting feedback from guys.

Heya Daniel, I'd love to have a chat with you buddy on your #LivedExperience with #MentalHealth and the work you do? – at Towcester, England
Little Saturday night check in.
I’m just sat outside the Chinese take away & I am absolutely gagging for it.
I’ve waited all week for this Chinese tonight.
It might be raining & blowing a gale but that won’t stop the Woks working. I can smell the food through the vents ha ha
Do something that makes you smile tonight, eat something naughty, watch Netflix, have a bath, eat some haribo, speak to someone who makes you feel good.
Whatever you do tonight. Have a bloody cracking night. Keep smiling, & hopefully when I’ve eaten this I can still function enough to tweet again ha ha
Be you. Do you. For you.❤️

Wish I could come to see you again Matt, I've not got anyone to come with me though & being at a crowded festival in a wheelchair, by myself, isn't a good idea. Hope to catch up with you soon though!? 🤞💚 – at Towcester, England
Hope to see you there. ❤️Flackstock at Englefield House - July 2023 englefieldestate.co.uk/whats…
