Just watched #dispatches #BreastfeedingUncovered and as someone who is currently feeding a 8 month old it left me emotional and angry. A thread:
Breastfeeding is one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done but it’s also the best thing I’ve ever done. It totally sickens me that local councils are cutting breastfeeding support whilst the NHS encourages breastfeeding to new mums.
When Robin was only a few weeks old we had issues with reflux and extreme fussiness and I was in tears almost daily. When I contacted the NHS for help they told me about a local breastfeeding group, which once they checked the details, realised that it’d been closed down.
Just spent my lunch break catching up on last night's #dispatches 'getting rich from the housing crisis' - some thoughts:
It's certainly true that we are losing genuinely affordable homes at a time when we need them more than ever - @CIHhousing analysis show we lost more than 150,000 homes for social rent between 2012 and 2017 alone cih.org/news-article/d…
The total figure is made up of 103,642 local authority homes & 46,972 housing association homes, mostly due to homes being converted to ‘affordable rent’ or being sold through right to buy - dispatches focused solely on housing associations & didn't mention right to buy at all
