Private school is around 10 THOUSAND A TERM. You CANNOT "make a few sacrifices"/"work hard" and have a spare THIRTY THOUSAND A YEAR <per child!> It is a complete myth and I cannot stand to hear it ONE MORE TIME. It's not "normal families working hard" and "prioritising education".

@trussliz @Telegraph I cannot imagine the neck it takes to know people are paying out £100s more a month and visiting foodbanks because of how atrociously bad you were at your job, and then try and justify it in a 4,000 word essay on a front page. Truly an incredible feat.

Saw loads of women, last night, of different shapes and sizes wearing THE ZARA DRESS. And maybe rather than laughing at everyone wearing the same dress, we should think about how a dress that's actually flattering on lots of women's bodies has flown off the shelves? 🤷🏻♀️.

Has anyone ever finished a halloumi wrap anywhere and thought 'That was a good and fair amount of halloumi in that. That was good halloumi value for money'? No never. There's NEVER enough halloumi.

Today, despite 100k people joining our campaign @GraziaUK @PregnantScrewed the govt wrote to us saying they will not even consider an independent review into childcare in the UK. Even while some parents face bills of £52k and thousands of nurseries close due to underfunding.

@ThisisDavina Female murder isn't rare. There are stats that could be checked before wading into the conversation with such a huge platform. Most women are saying they've had fear instilled in them since puberty, this movement is attempting to shine a light on that, not damage anyone.

Has anyone else ever found childcare bills a real issue when trying to secure a mortgage or meant they've been able to borrow a lot less than they thought? You can DM if you'd rather. Out of interest, but also potentially for 'a thing'.

HIYA! Lots of us could've had 'childcare bubbles' over Christmas that followed letters of law but were told by experts not to 'use'/bend rules and act in the spirit of the advice, which was to stay at home and not mix if you could because cases were scarily rocketing.

Tonight's #Dispatches missed something - if midwives/docs/everyone would actually discuss formula feeding with mums, rather than singularly promoting breastfeeding, so they can hit targets, maybe mums would be better informed about their choice 🤷🏻♀️.

Today, at my last Baby Sensory, I cried listening to the lyrics of S Club 7's Reach For The Stars while shaking a giant paper pom pom. If anyone's currently writing a baby-age Motherland, you can have that one for free. (Or hire me, I've got more).

I absolutely love how Taylor puts very specific details, incidents and tea in her songs, instead of veiling things like boring popstars. The 10min All Too Well is a FEAST. Very satisfying for an absolute gossipmonger. 10/10. Rising above is v overrated.

Given the volume of cries from parents willing to engage with the government in how to fix our broken childcare system, today's proposals are absolutely galling. The feeling of screaming into a black hole continues. But @PregnantScrewed says it better.

Genuinely feel physically sick every time I see that S*n front page. I can't even imagine how awful it would feel to see that in text, on a national stage, if you've been a victim or witness to domestic abuse. Not to even mention publishing that during a Domestic Abuse crisis.

@janegarvey1 Always. Especially when so many men had so many thoughts on the idea of a woman harming herself a few days ago. Or tagging their 'female superheroes' on IWD. Today, the male silence about male violence remains deafening as ever.

Is it RIDICULOUS that campaigners say we need a LAW that says to men who have MURDERED should not be allowed to then say it was THE VICTIM'S FAULT and then use their personal and sex lives AS A DEFENCE?. YES?. Is there something you can EASILY DO to change the law?. YES.
Campaigners are also calling for measures to stop the rise of non-consensual choking @Wecantconsentto @HarrietHarman.
