Thank you, Sophie. As a parent living through this nightmare, your persistence means more than words. When mainstream media looks away, you give our children a voice and fight for truth. You are a lifeline and a champion for justice for families like mine.

Poster in the stye of the animated film 'The Nightmare Before Christmas", featuring the Chancellor with the red briefcase standing on top of a curling mound, kicking a person in a wheelchair off it, who is falling towards other people struggling it what looks like a cross between sea waves and burial mounds below. Behind the chancellor, rising against the dark sky like a full moon is a circular roundabout painted with the England St George's cross, surrounded by Reform UK style roundabout arrows. On the curved mound is a text following the curve, which says 'The multibillion Brexit Black Hole". Below is it a title text that says 'Rachel Reeves' The Nightmare Before Christmas'.

The Titanic hit an obstacle (iceberg) and sank, with the loss of a lot of lives....
bylinesnetwork.co.uk Bylines Network @bylinesnetwork.co.uk · 2d
Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.

Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

a spoof poster based on 101 Dalmatians, with Home Secretary Shabanah Mahmood, dressed in blue, looming menacingly over a frightened family of refugees: a male doctor in scrubs, a woman with glasses, and a group of children, one with a Paddington teddy bear. Text scattered across the poster's dark backgound says '101 Deportations. Starring Shabby as Suella Patel. With McSweeney's boys, Britains's best Reform tribute band. Sing along to classic tunes like Island Of Strangers, WHITE Cliffs of Dover, BLUE Christmas.'

A bit of safeguarding today!
These are symbols that can sometimes be found drawn on a house (or garage, shed, wall)
They indicate that the owner may be targeted by criminals.
If you see them: photograph, warn police, wash them off!!
Symbols on a wall, indicating vulnerability of the occupant, whether they have things worth stealing, basically if the house is a worthwhile target for criminals.
