There is no such thing as “a sick note culture.” There is a record high NHS waiting list, crippling housing costs, widespread food poverty, stagnant wages and inadequate benefit rates, a broken social care system, dire mental health services, and closed Sure Start centres.
#WIMJP24 kicked off with a spot on keynote from @CharlieBCuff whose career I admire and who was really speaking to me in her speech! Bravery while navigating our careers is pivotal to being fulfilled as is pausing, which I know I'm finding tricky as I worry about visibility.

Gutted to see the redundancies at @openDemocracy - the UK is losing so many vital independent journalists and outlets at the moment, there are real implications for scrutiny of politicians and corporates. Solidarity with everyone laid off.
