CW: Women’s football; inappropriate sponsorship
If its a "mixed" team should we assume half the spaces should be proactively filled by girls? The #FA are talking about equal access by 2024, but where is the guidance?

CW: Women’s football; inappropriate sponsorship
Pigging backing on this discussion as I'm struggling to find resources on encouraging equal access to teams in primary schools. There's lots of talk on all the big websites and corporate sponsorship strategies from #Disney and #weetabix but very few resources one can take to a #headteacher to ask for fairer access.

CW: UK Housing; death of a young child
@gem_abbott So awful. Where to even start with the state of #housing in the country? Horrifying conditions for social housing residents; appalling service from social housing providers; #leaseholders being trapped, ripped off and bankrupted by the #CladdingScandal; shoddy, unsafe newbuilds; members of the public being killed by building site accidents and nothing being done (happened twice within a mile of me in a few years).

CW: UK Politics, Tampon Tax, Brexit
@gem_abbott Removing the tampon tax has been touted as a Benefit of Brexit by Brexiters
But the Tories, including Sunak, voted against removing the tampon tax in 2015 - before the EU Ref

@gem_abbott Aberdeen fan. Not to niche - Me too and was lucky to be around in the 1980s. Great days.
Now a #PortsmouthFC season ticket holder.

CW: UK Politics; Resignation honours
@gem_abbott But will the King object or will he stay silent to avoid just such controversy, especially so early into his reign? #ukpolitics #ResignationHonours

CW: What I’m reading; Foster
I want to read everything #ClaireKeegan has ever written. I’m not sure I’ve ever read a writer so sparing with her words to such impact. Every single line is measured to perfection. Just glorious.

CW: What I’m reading; The Last Colony
#TheLastColony by #PhilippeSands is extraordinary. And I find myself wondering (once a legal campaigner, always a legal campaigner) what the plan is to force the next Govt to stop ignoring the rights of the Changossians - it will surely be much harder for Starmer et al to continue to ignore UN rulings to return #TheChagosIslands as May & her successors have done?

CW: What I’m reading; what a shame
I quite enjoyed #WhatAShame by #AbigailBergstrom but didn’t love it. Perhaps I was a bit older than the intended audience. I also felt a bit cheated by the promise of the protagonist using “ever more extreme methods of attempting to move on” - nothing felt *that* extreme to me!

CW: UK News; British Airways jumpsuits
Not just any jumpsuit either. One with a TIE at the neck. Doing a wee in this would take 5 minutes at least.
This surely wins a prize for the least practical uniform ever designed?!

Because what could be more practical in an aeroplane toilet than a jumpsuit? 🤦♀️

CW: What I’m reading; Invisible Child
My favourite book of 2023 so far - genuinely extraordinary
“A work of luminous and riveting prose, Elliott’s Invisible Child reads like a page-turning novel. It is an astonishing story about the power of resilience, the importance of family and the cost of inequality—told through the crucible of one remarkable girl”

CW: What I’m reading; The Silence of the Girls
Have you read #TheSilenceOfTheGirls by #PatBarker? I’m only about 5 years late! I don’t know how I missed it, but saw the sequel in a ‘best of 2022’ round up (also now on my list)
I LOVED this - a feminist retelling of the Iliad, from the perspective of Briseis (Achilles’ ‘prize’ & ‘bed slave’)

CW: What I’m reading;Extreme Misogyny
I’ve had this book by #LauraBates on my teetering “to read” pile for over a year, but was spurred by #GretaThunberg taking down #AndrewTate, prompting a fresh round of discussion of #misogyny & the #manosphere
It’s a hard read but I’d recommend it if you want to better grasp the scale of the danger posed by #MenWhoHateWomen - especially if you have young boys in your life, whom you want to support to navigate the online world more safely

It can be hard being the only Scottish one in your family.
My husband is out in the garden with the kids, filming a “goal celebration” round for an extended family Christmas quiz. They’ve done Messi, Ronaldo, Peter Crouch’s robot…
And their finale? Gazza’s dentist’s chair from Euro 96.
I have refused to play the role of Colin Hendry 😆🏴😭⚽️
