The Standard story will now appear tomorrow. Hopefully this means it will be able to cover this afternoon's debate. Helen Hayes spoke about the campaign, which was great. She and Harriet Harman are talking to Kings on Friday.

Here is the Standard story. I so hope that the message gets through about the importance of keeping these specialist midwives at the breastfeeding service. Calling them back to labour ward makes no sense when some haven't delivered a baby for over ten years. Surely our community is best served focusing such rare expertise where it is most needed.

The campaign was featured in the Guardian on Monday! It's a nationwide issue.

There will be a protest outside Kings next Wednesday (8 July) at 10am. If you can, please come along and lend your voice.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
