Wish I could say that the people normalising Trump this morning will regret it, but they won't. It's like being in Groundhog Day. They already normalised him, then acted shocked when he tried to overthrow US democracy, and now, with the memory of a fucking goldfish, they're doing it all over again.

Private equity profiteering from children's misery.

Fees double/triple compared to what councils could charge.

I wish more people would realize that struggling with poverty and homelessness is not a moral failure.
So many people look down on them for their struggles without realizing they're just one bad unforseen circumstance away from the same thing happening to them

Remember the outrage when Israel first targeted hospitals in Gaza?
Now, the last hospital in northern Gaza is destroyed, babies are freezing to death & the WHO Director-General narrowly survived an attack in Yemen.
This genocide is fuelled by UK arms sales & Western support.
