Prof Alexis Jay, chair of public inquiry into child sexual abuse, says further national inquiry into grooming gangs isn’t needed & would delay action.
“The time has passed for more inquiries, we’ve had enough… We’ve set out action required & people should just get on with it, nationally & locally”

Well, since we blinked and we're well into the 700s, let's raise the stakes: if we get to 1000 followers we'll put our followers into a (virtual) hat and pick one to win an SCM book OF THEIR CHOICE 📚
Hooray, we've reached 100 followers!!! 🎉
No pressure but @dshervington.bsky.social says if we get to 500, we'll offer a free SCM book
In the meantime I might just tell you about some books, I suppose...

Climate Change:
It's real.
It's us.
It's serious - and already dangerous.
But there are solutions.
The science is clear: the faster we cut emissions, the less suffering we will cause, and the better off we'll all be.
