Apparently, you shouldn’t put anything on twitter you wouldn’t want your Granny to see? Let me introduce you to my Grandma: Valerie Cullen! She joined the circus at 17, toured around Europe in the 20s & 30s in a dance troupe & rode through the streets on a horse as Lady Godiva.

We're taking action to stop migrants working illegally as food delivery drivers.
Alphonsine called for an ambulance, also saying I need to help my daughter. I'm so sorry you were failed angels. Devastating. Heartbreaking. Preventable.

Devastating consequences of austerity & cuts to essential services, falling hardest on disabled women of colour. 😥

I think in general socially mobile men that do this actually loathe the working class. They only date/marry socialites and send their children to private schools because they've attached their own upward mobility and societal status to those actions. It’s a type of a self-hatred.
There are men that make a lot of money through posturing caricature working class masculinity. But they surround themselves with the elite and aristocracy, and they despise working class women. 🙄
Disgusting if a 999 call cuts off suddenly and the person doesn't respond to call backs it should have led to a police welfare check

Fox cub update: work up this morning to see one of the cubs drinking from the bowl of water we leave out in the garden for the cats and wildlife 🥹
Got woken this morning by the sound of three fox cubs playing in my back garden. 🦊😭 Couldn't manage to get a photo of all three together. I guess rewilding is good for all nature.
