I don't know where the #BBC News 'found 'Carrie Sheffield'.

If your protest sign isn't handwritten you must be a 'professional protestor'. 🙄

We really don't need this pre-school mentality. Please BBC find a grown-up to talk to.

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

With the current political chaos in the US and Trump’s failure to adhere to international norms, and given his apparent obsession with the Monarchy, calling off this visit would send a powerful messag...

How many days before those US 'military assets' that have left the UK for mainland Europe turn up in Greenland?
No war declared - so no NATO treaty officially 'broken'.
Just more GIs than native Greenlanders - plus a McDonalds. 🤷‍♀️

Sadly our hope of a 'Happy' New Year has been thwarted by a maniac and his fanatical followers.
I get that he is as mad as a box of frogs but they can't ALL want to start WWIII
Is it mass hysteria - or is there something wrong with the water in parts of the USA? 🤷‍♀️

This is why I’m here:

🧵Trigger warning: suicide

I am the proud mum of a trans woman, Alice.

Alice came out to her best friend, Lucy when she was sixteen, to her sister, Kate a few months later. She didn’t come out to me. Why not? Probably because I’d absorbed media transphobia 1/10

I was in my forties before my older sister told me she was transgender.
She said: If you don't want me in your life anymore, I will understand

#BoxingDay - when the church used to give 'boxes' of Alms to the poor.
In modern times it is the day to make donations of money to charities that provide shelter and/or food to those in need.
