#Repost from @bbcwomanshour with @regram.app ... Today marks 100 years since the first votes were cast by women in the UK in a general election! 👏 UK women were given the right to vote in February 1918, but it was in the general election of 14 December 1918 that those over 30 who met a property qualification could actually cast a ballot for the first time. 🎈 To celebrate, @bbcwomanshour is live from the Houses of Parliament for the programme today. Jane Garvey will be talking to a panel of current female MPs. 🎉 Listen to the programme via @bbcsounds or the Woman's Hour website!🎧 . . . #vote100 #suffrage #parliament #bbcwomanshour #womanshour #womenvoting

For me #bodypositivity was always about health. This time last year I conceived of how a deep acceptance of ourselves and others could have a ludicrously positive impact on our health. This week I've lost followers. Quite a lot. I think because I've started talking about my own health again. Here's how it is for me. I had cancer. When I give my body a clean from the inside out, I feel demonstrably safer. That's me and my story. What body positivity meant to me was an extension of what I learnt on my cancer journey, which was to stop judging myself. Give myself a break. Acceptance.That's what I thought body positivity was. I naively thought my petition would be snapped up by the #bopo community and it would be achieved in days. It didn't. At all. Actually what I found in that community was quite a lot of judgement. My passion for #bodequality wasn't echoed by everyone. Snarky comments about people who detox and exercise, being told I'm too thin, 'influencers' who can't abide diet talk of any kind in their feed, a lot of them young girls influencing hordes of other young girls. Further entrenching their views in their brand. Making some healthy choices, the ones they are rejecting now, a future impossibility for them. Rejecting health in a crazy exciting revolution. I was excited! And the advancements made in this arena over the last couple of years are incredible. I'm so pleased to see some more diversity in magazines and advertising. Some. Not enough. And with not always quite the message I want to support. There has to be another way! I had to go radio silent for a while, to try and understand it because it was at such cross-purposes to my own values. Listen everyone's version of health is different. It might be a run, a juice, a tablet, a kind or self-supporting thought, a sleep, a burger, a sun-lounger, a ski run, a new dress, a box set. All of it is #selfcare. All of us are #valid. I spent the summer ignoring my kids while writing a 7000 word report for the advertising standards authority on why things should #change. I did something. I felt judged, on my dorky moral crusade. Stop judging people! It would be good for us!
