THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

After 15 months the neurologist finally gave me the diagnosis of Guillain Barre syndrome after recent tests. I knew it wasn’t FND .. I’d been given both diagnosis within 10 days of each other .. Still I’m relieved that now it’s correct

Today my daughter got accepted onto the Clinical Psychology Doctorate at Sheffield University.. I’m so so proud of her she’s worked so hard ☺️

It’s because our health policymakers are not thinking enough about what women want and need to recover, but instead about ‘disorders’ and where, how and by whom they should be treated. Linda hits the nail on the head again

The world is about to witness the biggest tantrum in history

This is why Daily Mail journalists are going after my family now. The right wing propaganda machine will not work on the Green Party. We're ready to end Rip off Britain, end the cost of living crisis and make hope normal again.
