Good morning dear phone family. It's #InternationalMensDay2024 so I wanted to highlight this 💔 I've seen the impact of suicide on loved ones left behind. If you're worried about anyone, ask if they're OK, and ask again if there's any doubt. You could save a life ❤️
Take care 🥰

How to describe neo-liberalism in one headline?

Stop this incessant profiteering.

Nationalise water. Regulate housing. Build efficient and sustainable affordable and council homes.

🚨Millions of people in this country are living in poverty, destitution & using food banks. It’s barely getting a mention.

I’m joining forces with @bigissue.bsky.social in calling for a POVERTY ZERO LAW - a statutory duty for every gov’t to set POVERTY REDUCTION TARGETS

Thousands of people have shared an image on social media that claims Mayor of London Sadiq Khan told people to “learn Arabic” to create harmony.

But we cannot find any evidence he ever actually said this, and his office says the claim is “nonsense”.
No evidence Sadiq Khan said people should ‘learn Arabic’ to create harmony - Full Fact
One social media post claiming the Mayor of London said this has had more than 16,000 shares.

Appalling. Remote controlled drones being used to hover over, look at, and then cynically shoot children ranks amongst the sickest cowardice ever.

Best not highlight who is doing it though, hey BBC?

Morning from Kyiv.
The night was calm here,
not everywhere in Ukraine, of course.
I had my morning #warcoffee
and am ready to live life.
Rainy,
grey,
but life.

Today's Ukrainian art: Eugene Ravsky (born in 1966).
This is one of his watercolour paintings depicting the war.
Eugene is a soldier.
