Any politicians attending? What happened with Jeremy Corbyn? ETA: Any journalists?

And a not completely unrelated tweet..

Merged thread Spotted this in a tweet by Derya Unutmaz today, and don't think the article has been shared here? Maya Dusenbery: "Everybody was telling me there was nothing wrong" Women are more likely to wait longer for a health diagnosis and to be told it’s ‘all in their heads’. That can be...
