I interviewed Molly Mae about Love Island, Maebe, being the UK's influencer-in-chief, and yes, *that breakup*, for @BritishVogue. An absolute dream commission ⭐

- Really pleased to win the feature writer award at the @pressgazette awards - and also to celebrate with my fellow Guardian and Observer colleagues on strike today ✊
- The Darzi review highlighting that midwife numbers have risen while birth rates have gone down shows that the crisis in our maternity services will not be solved by staffing alone - as bereaved families have been saying for years, the issues are ideological and culture-based
- Very happy to be a finalist in the features category of the @pressgazette British Journalism Awards, alongside some excellent journalists I rate a lot 🎉 pressgazette.co.uk/press-gazette-…
- This is remarkable and points to the ideological capture of maternity services by normal birth ideology - turning off an emergency bell in a birth centre lest it frighten other mothers (and interfere with their precious oxytocin release, an obsession of normal birth advocates)Replying to @catherineroyukThe reason why the emergency bell was turned off was because of a belief in creating a "home from home environment", and emergency bells aren't used at home. 6/
- An exceptionally moving and heartfelt letter from Margaret Balson, the mother of John Balson, who I wrote about a few weeks ago
- I wrote about the NCT, so-called ‘normal’ childbirth, and how it influenced English maternity policy - for good and for bad @guardiang2
- I will be joining my colleagues at the Guardian and Observer who are on strike for 48 hours over the sale of the Observer. I will be back at work on Friday. For more information please follow @GoNUJ93 and @NUJofficial or visit nuj.org.uk/savetheobserver
- Every single paragraph in this piece by @Narcomania is deserving of a spin off documentary / long read. No one writes about drugs like him
- Good first step but as I've been saying for years, we need a stalker's register to track serial offenders. Stalking has high recidivism rates and is often tied to domestic abuse, homicide, etc. Gov won't do it as so £ because sadly these men are everywhere
- Replying to @sirin_kaleAlso: "divergent curricula for different staff groups" "compromise patient safety" [h/t @catherineroyuk] - unclear exactly what he means BUT could suggest that physiological approaches to birth [midwifery school] versus obstetric models [medical school] are at times in conflict
- I will be joining my colleagues at the Guardian and Observer who are on strike for 48 hours over the sale of the Observer. It ends at 23.59 GMT on Friday 13 December. For more information please follow @GONUJ93 and @NUJofficial or visit nuj.org.uk/savetheobserver
