HOW does UK not allow legal right to breastfeeding breaks in workplace?! For mat leave, you get 90% pay for 18 wks; most cannot afford to take longer. WHO & UNICEF recommend breastfeeding for *2 years* due to health benefits for baby &mum. It wouldn’t take much to do much better.

Astonishingly we’ve raised just under £40,000 for @crisis_uk in less than 48 hours with a bowl of potpourri, aka a ‘lifestyle choice’. Thank you thank you thank you. Would love to hit the £50k target ahead of the King’s Speech tomorrow. 🤞🏻🚀🤪🤯 NB: remember to add gift aid cause then Suella’s government have to give an additional 25% lol
My old friend @SuellaBraverman has described rough sleeping as a 'lifestyle choice' I always thought lifestyle choices were things such as cargo pants, fishing and decorating your bathroom with a bowl of potpourri. I want to see if this image I found on google described as 'Wooden Botanical Fragrant Potpourri Bowl With Lemon' can raise £50,000 for homelessness charity @crisis_uk Donate here: instagram.com/p/CzPTaJzIK4M/…
