⚖️ MIDWIFE WINS EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNAL AGAINST EAST SUSSEX HEALTHCARE NHS TRUST **CASE LAW** 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Another midwife. Another Employment Tribunal. And once again, the same deeply concerning themes emerge. Charlotte represented herself. And she won. Charlotte was an experienced midwife when she suffered something no mother should ever have to endure — the death of her young son. 💔 Following his death, Charlotte wrote a deeply personal post about her son on her private Facebook account, which she says had only a small number of friends. According to Charlotte’s case, a member of management obtained that post and circulated it by email to more than 200 members of staff. Charlotte herself was excluded from that email. So was a close colleague and friend. Then came the managers’ WhatsApp group.🚨 Charlotte’s Tribunal documents describe her case that managers used the group to mock staff members, laugh about and discuss grievances that had been submitted in confidence, discuss the death of Charlotte’s son and discuss Charlotte’s ability to work. Someone refused to stay silent. A screenshot of those messages were printed off and alerted Charlotte and management to what was happening. Those messages became evidence in Charlotte’s Employment Tribunal proceedings. Think about that. Had one person not had the courage to preserve what they had seen, Charlotte may never have known what was being discussed. And throughout all of this, Charlotte was trying to grieve the death of her child. Instead of being given the space, dignity and compassion to grieve, Charlotte says this entire experience engulfed her life and intruded into a period of unimaginable loss. Her energy was consumed by what was happening at work, grievances, management conduct and ultimately an Employment Tribunal when she should have been able to focus on herself, her child, her grief and her family. There is something particularly difficult to comprehend about this happening within midwifery. Midwives are supposed to be at the forefront of protecting women’s physical, mental and psychological wellbeing and safety. Yet who was protecting the midwife when she was the grieving woman who needed compassion? Ultimately, Charlotte could no longer remain in her role. The Tribunal found that she had been constructively unfairly dismissed — meaning that although Charlotte resigned, the circumstances amounted to a fundamental breach of the employment relationship that entitled her to leave. A grieving mother. A midwife. A career lost. And then an Employment Tribunal that she had to fight herself. Charlotte represented herself. And she won. And once again I find myself looking at the themes emerging from the experiences midwives are bringing forward: Bullying. Harassment. Confidentiality and data concerns. Grievances. Management WhatsApp groups. Isolation. Fear of speaking up. Employment Tribunals. Midwives fighting their employers, sometimes without legal representation. Different midwives. Different hospitals. Different NHS Trusts. Yet remarkably similar experiences. Charlotte’s case also demonstrates why we desperately need colleagues who witness unacceptable behaviour to feel safe enough to speak up. One colleague took screenshots. One colleague preserved the evidence. One colleague refused to look the other way. That mattered. Charlotte’s experience should not simply disappear into an Employment Tribunal judgment somewhere on the internet. We need to start looking at these cases collectively and asking why these themes keep appearing within the profession. And most importantly, we need to listen to the midwives themselves. Well done, Charlotte. Love to you, your son & family. And thank you to the person who had the courage to preserve the evidence and speak up. Midwives are speaking. Their stories deserve to be heard. @KenZeroHarm @ArturNadol7566

Yosef Chaim Ben David, convicted of the brutal 2014 murder of 16-year-old Palestinian Muhammad Abu Khdeir, has died in prison at the age of 42.

This has made me as unhappy as anything ever has. This beautiful girl. Now she is broken on the outside. Even her teeth. But she is still trying to smile. This is who Palestinians are. These are the people the Global North has abandoned and helped destroy #FREEPALESTİNE

Israeli occupation military did killed her family and stole her hand and legs..

According to Electoral Commission records, lobbyist Trevor Chinn made eleven donations to Tom Watson over a period of four years. Chinn previously bankrolled both Keir Starmer and Tony Blair’s ascents to power. Now, he is a key funder of the Andy Burnham cabinet.

This is the new senior vice president of Palantir UK. But did you know that Tom Watson received ELEVEN separate donations from a prominent pro-Israeli lobbyist? I’ve been examining the financial records of the Labour Party peer. Here’s what I found:🧵

If you see a man doing this to a woman, by all means record it, but please ring the police first. Use 999 and tell them you're fearful both the lady and the child are in imminent danger. The presence of the baby requires specialist intervention.

It's nothing sinister at all. They're just preparing a gift list for some new handheld electronics.

I hope you’ve seen the Dispatches on Gaza just now on Channel 4, with the UK’s role in what took place. To The Hague with the morally corrupt, genocide enabling @David_Cameron @RishiSunak @Keir_Starmer @DavidLammy. Utterly shameful!

Today, my legal team received a request from social services demanding that I remove the letter they gave me on Tuesday, which clearly sets out the position they are putting my family in. They are now claiming that the letter is confidential correspondence. It is not. If Bradford Children’s Trust does not want me sharing information about their actions, perhaps they should start considering whether those actions are appropriate in the first place. I will not be removing the letter. My solicitor has responded to them on my behalf and made that position clear. I also find it deeply concerning that they appear to be monitoring my social media. At this point, I feel I am being monitored more closely by the authorities than the people who sexually abused me as a child ever were. That is an incredibly difficult thing to accept, particularly given everything I have already been through. Once again, I am being treated as though I am the problem in a situation where I am the victim, mirroring the very behaviour I experienced from institutions throughout my abuse. Clearly, the lessons from what happened to me have not been learnt. gofund.me/cfc665ecc

Pure evil

What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention. So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement. Sign up at macklemore.com

Amidst the displacement camps in Gaza, a father creates a moment of joy for his daughter—fashioning a cardboard playhouse inside their tent to shield her from the harshness of their circumstances and bring a smile to her face—offering a profound example of resilience and hope born from the heart of suffering. The children of Gaza deserve a life; they seek safety and peace.

Another fine mess 🤣🤣🤣

Vladimir Putin couldn't deliver a speech at the UN General Assembly due to ICC arrest warrant, but Benjamin Netanyahu can deliver his speech at the UN even with ICC arrest warrant! How much Zionist lobby have control over the UN and US. This world has completely lost its meaning

THE UN IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE. They found a mass grave in Gaza filled with the decaying bodies of women and children, their hands zip-tied behind their backs. AND DID NOTHING.
