We really need to start talking about what a privilege it is to be able to exercise daily. It’s not something most people can afford or make the time for or actually be able to do physically so I’m just a bit tired of reading about it.

I’m still looking for data on why over 55s are taking their pensions early - data not anecdotal evidence #journorequest

If you want to know what gaslighting is go and take a look at the trolling on @london.gov.uk’s social media. I suspect that most Asian people will be able to relate on some level.

My primary impression of Rayner's arrangements regarding her child was what an amazing example of a "good divorce" this was and how dedicated both her and her ex husband obviously are to their co-parenting responsibilities and their children's welfare.

I have not seen this mentioned anywhere once.

Hello people who like to wave St George’s flags in front of hotels housing immigrants. Might be best not to do so while blaring our Queen songs…do they know he was the child of immigrants?! The mind just continues to boggle…

Different ethnicities have different challenges around weight loss. Notice how a lot of the judgment towards Serena being open about using jabs to lose weight is coming from white women.

I’m looking for Menopause doctors who prescribe weight loss jabs to women
