Dear all, I am leaving X and going to Bluesky - follow me there if you like or not if you don’t.

Are you a final year speech and language therapy student? Don't miss out on this opportunity to prepare for the next stage of your career. Register for the RCSLT Learning Day now! rcslt.org/events/rcslt-stude…

Co’n no off!Falch o fod yn @seneddcymru gyda @RADLDcam i godi llais dros Anhwylder Datblygu Iaith Piciwch draw i’n gweld ni yn y Neuadd! Ready to go!Pleased to be in the Neuadd @SeneddWales to raise awareness of developmental language disorder Come and have a chat! #DLDday

People with DLD are so often hidden. That's why we need to speak up for them ad help amplify their voices too! Thank you Stephanie! Let us know why you are speaking up for DLD too! @RADLDcam #DLDday

It's #dldday this coming Friday and we're raising awareness wherever we go! We're speaking up for #dld.. are you? Thank you to #FreshfieldPrimarySchool for joining our campaign! 👏 Please help us to spread the word about DLD 💜💜💜 @RADLDcam @rcslt @TheDLDProject_ @NAPLIC

Since @Keir_Starmer made a promise to have assisted suicide debated in Parliament, perhaps he can now make another promise? That he & his MPs will watch my @BBC @OpenUniversity doc 'Better Off Dead?' to hear why so many of us are terrified of these laws? bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

I see Boris Johnson’s new book is full of self-serving justifications of his behaviour during #Partygate. Please read this Guardian letter from 2022 - & never forgive, never forget that man’s reprehensible contempt for the people he governed 💔

Boris Johnson has crawled out of the woodwork to join Nigel Farage in saying the UK needs a referendum on ECHR membership If UK media is going to give him a platform to spout this boll**** it’s up to all of us to call it out. RT this if you agree

All great suggestions! 👏 But let’s also make sure schools have the tools and training they need to spot and support children struggling with talking and understanding words.

Please read this testimony from ICU Prof ⁦@Kevin_Fong⁩ at the @covidinquiryuk⁩ & know that this - this - is what it was truly like. All those despicable Covid deniers, anti-vaxxers & scamdemic artists have blood on their hands & should hang their sorry heads in shame.

People are so up their own arse when it comes to disability. Everyone and I mean everyone is one birthday, fall, slip or step away from becoming disabled. Inclusion helps everyone eventually. It may not help you now but It will.

Peers can provide the support students with DLD need. The first step is have some understanding of what DLD is. Teachers can help by showing the class a video on DLD. There are many you can choose from our Youtube channel here piped.video/user/RALLIcampai… @RADLDcam #DLDday

*81%* And 60% of young people accessing youth justice services present with SLCN. Almost 2 million children are struggling with speech & language. @UKLabour pledged to fund early language interventions but no mention of this by @bphillipsonMP So short-sighted.

Safe to say we're disappointed😞 We haven't forgotten about @UKLabour's pledge to fund early language interventions – read our 'Getting in Early' report to find out why this is so important! >>speechandlanguage.org.uk/the… #Lab24 #Policy #EarlyYears #EYFS #EarlyYearsEducation

On my way to #STAMMAFEST in Nottingham. Looking forward to meeting with friends old and new, room hosting and co-facilitating the first in-person Research Arena on Sunday! This weekend will also mark the end of a wonderful and busy 6 years as a @stammer Trustee ❤️

I drove east into London on the A40 this afternoon. Light breeze, not too hot. London is always beautiful in the sunshine. Drove past Uxbridge. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and ablaze, no sirens. Drove past Greenford. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and ablaze, no sirens. Drove past Acton. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and ablaze, no sirens. Parked in Westfield. There is sun, no sign of rain, but the full rainbow of humanity is here indoors. (They say they want their country back, but they actually want their empire back, the one their grandparents' generation lost. The Empire came home. And here we all are! ) The shop assistants everywhere were from every corner of the earth. The customers the same. Girls and boys, men and women, from every place in the world, peacefully going about their lives on a London Sunday in a cathedral to capitalism in Shepherds Bush. No shouting. No swearing. No mugging. No knifing. No looting. No burning. Just the world in one city under a giant glass roof in peace. Sometimes, you don't know how good you actually have it. When London is good, it's really bloody good. Most places in England are good, most of the time. Most people in England are good, no matter what the forces that seek to divide us want us to believe. I remember being broke and homeless 20 years ago this year, carrying my possessions in four bags and thanking God for my legs when I was deep in my material nadir. You already have your country. I already have my country. Both can be true. I don't want to take your job, unless I'm better at it. I don't want to put shariah in place over your head and in any case, the law in this country is about as close to shariah as I need. Why would I endanger that just to piss you off for some marginal gain? Think about it. We can get along. We are not enemies. Those grifters are fooling you, scamming you, and they're thick. They think 1+1=Foreigners. Their sums don't add up. They get tax breaks. Do you? Work it out. We aren't going anywhere and we won't roll over frightened like our parents did. We belong here. We ARE the British Empire. This is the legacy. It's not us you want your country back from. It's the foreign papers, the con artists who took COVID money, the scum who bought our water, the financial institutions who gambled away our future and made us pay for their next round of bonuses in an endless era of austerity. We didn't freeze old people to death. We didn't make food banks necessary. Cameron and Co did all that. We're just easy targets. A distraction. This is still a beautiful country. This is still a peaceful country. How about we find away to make it better for all of us:? Isn't London beautiful in the sunshine?

A #TeamUSA athlete said he prepared himself for his #Olympics swim in the Seine by not washing his hands after using the bathroom, in order to up “his E.coli threshold”🤢 Reading's Dr Simon Clarke says please do NOT try that at home 💩 #Paris2024

Dear 🇬🇧, You are so ridiculously lucky to have the NHS. Protect it. Defend it. Never stop fighting for it. Because this is the reality of medical debt in my country and if you’re not careful, this could soon be your reality too. #SOSNHS
