you can understand why the country was so let down by these fools when you remember they've been in power for the last decade and more but they hate the crap-hole of a country they left behind...all about ensuring power stays in the hands of people like him and Musk and other RW *hero*. #Scribes

Huge thanks to everyone who’s chipped in to make LBD interventions happen this year. We’re 100% funded by small donations & refuse big donors to protect us from becoming reliant on any individual source. Wanna help? Link in bio👆

I love this map of places where sycamore gap tree saplings will be planted. They include the Rob Burrow Centre for MND and a plot in memory of a 15 year old girl killed by her ex-boyfriend. They stretch from the Orkneys to Cornwall. By @nationaltrust.bsky.social

Nigel Farage....paid in dollars and roubles.

I was a SW ( child protection) in Scotland so I'm not completely up to date with English law but #SarahSharif should never have been at home. The CP system is workable for supportive SW but we also need to have a system where SW's have power & confidence to intervene on the child's behalf...@lbc

What a shameful indictment of Social Services and the Child protection system...a kid is literally beaten to death in full view of Social workers , police , teachers and others. Where's the moral clarity in that system...surely you need a child abuse system & workers able to call it out .?

Looking forward to today's event in Parliament in London to raise awareness of the financial challenges unpaid carers are facing. We're meeting other members of the Carer Poverty Coalition to meet MPs and highlight the urgent need for greater support for #unpaidcarers.
