Everyone saying PM shd condemn far right violence in London yday (Shabana Mahmood already has)/ leave X is right. But same for Kemi Badenoch. No Conservative Party can condone thugs attacking police horses & calls for violent uprising. Even Farage has gone up against Yaxley-Lennon ffs.

And if I’m scared, a white middle class straight married woman, my brothers and sisters in other communities are feeling besieged. But we must stand together against this rise and hate.

I’m scared of Reform, I’m scared of the continuing rise of the far right. But moreover I’m scared of the continuing legitimisation of far right ideology and politics into the mainstream.

We are still to buy new colour PE trainers and bag, and football boots, and shin We have yet to buy all the new stationary she needs. So far we have spent almost £450. Luckily her feet haven’t grown so she can keep her shoes for a bit longer..

Eldest starting secondary school for the first time. She needs branded blazer, jumper, PE tops. Also had to buy new style shirts, new colour skirts, and socks, PE leggings. We had to buy a new coat and rucksack as her school only allows plain black.

Elon trashed his brand for Trump. And for what? This. Everything. Trump. Touches. Dies. (May you get precisely what you deserve)

Big question from the 5 year old as I am settling her to sleep “Mummy why do we love”….. 🤯

Stick man oh stick man you excellent friend…

Raging, absolutely raging that @disneyplusuk.bsky.social cancelled the magnificent Extraordinary. Especially on such a cliffhanger.

Walking home with my 5 year old. School friend calls over across the road and say hello, and then, “Is that your granny or your mummy”. Brutal

National Secondary School Offer Day. Terrified I did something wrong suddenly and forgot to upload birth certificate or similar. Have to wait until 5pm. Spent last night not sleeping.

Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy shifted gears beautifully, naturally, and sympathetically with one of the best depictions of grief I’ve seen on screen. My husband and I wept. My sister in law died in May, leaving a husband and son the same age as Billy. This film allowed us to grieve.

Y’all come quick, the museums are doing super bowls again

Deeply upset by this decision. This is such a retrograde step.

Labour slammed for removing key NHS dementia target in ‘glaring omission’ Furious campaigners said Wes Streeting's decision was an alarming 'backwards step'.

The removal of a dementia diagnosis target is unacceptable.

It sends the message that dementia doesn’t matter and highlights a staggering lack of focus on a devastating condition that affects nearly a million people in the UK.

White text on a blue background reads: Dementia diagnosis is a priority. The word 'is' is highlighted and underlined.

🚨 Breaking news

The new @england.nhs.uk planning guidance published today contains nothing on dementia.

Like you, we think that’s unacceptable.

Dementia is a priority. Diagnosis is a priority. We cannot ignore the UK's biggest killer anymore.

Disabled MP calls to scrap 'cruel' parking charges plan A petition against the scheme passed 4,000 signatures this week

I’m continuing to call on Bromley Conservatives to cancel their cruel plans to charge disabled Blue Badge holders

They’d be the first and only London Council to do so. It’s time they listened to local residents who are overwhelmingly opposed 👇

I did feel like it was an oral examination practice! She then said “Why did the First World War start?” Didn’t quite have the energy to go into the geo political structure of Europe in the early 20th century during bedtime.

Anne-Marie Duff’s battle to find care for brother with Alzheimer’s The Bad Sisters actress is having a ‘nightmare’ finding a place in a specialist care home for her brother Eddie, who was diagnosed with dementia in his forties

5 year old calls me into her room after we’ve said goodnight. “Mummy what happened in World War One and Two”. She picks her moments….

To everyone watching The Traitors finale tonight, we also have shows too. No idea what they are because of The Traitors finale but if you can catch up on our shows on streaming later that would be great.

Thank you for calling out this ridiculous and cruel plan by Bromley Council.

Whole family excited for #gladiators

Denis Law standing with his foot on a football, playing for Manchester United in the 1960s.

We’re deeply saddened by the news that our supporter, Denis Law, has died with dementia. We’ll be forever grateful that Denis and his family raised not only money for Alzheimer’s Society, but a great deal of awareness too. Our thoughts are with all his friends and family 💙

Patients dying in hospital corridors, say nurses The Royal College of Nursing details harrowing cases from more than 5,000 nurses across the UK.

🚨 Our Head of Local Systems Influencing, Tim Baverstock, has described The RCN's reports of the increasingly demanding NHS front line 'corridor care' as 'harrowing'.

Particularly when patients with dementia have been distressed or unable to receive appropriate care. 1/4

Had a few challenging days at the parenting coalface and was brilliant to be able to chat through it all to our parents and guardians network @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social today. Having groups like this, and our menopause and bereavement network have been supportive and make such a difference.
