Peak teen content uncovered sorting:

Special dates: my friend Gaz’s addition (Xmas, his birthday), my birthday (unlikely to forget?), mum & dad’s anniversary (clearly running out of noteworthy dates…)

Back on the coach after sun, rain, hail and a kettle of tens of thousands of rampaging big man fascists, what a day!

The face of “defending women & girls” in Dudley. Spotted one of their organisers who has a conviction for assaulting a female pensioner. Meanwhile landlord Marco Longhi is aleady counting his 90K when he gets back into Westminster on the back of leading a mob against refugees who “take our housing”

In Cannock today to counter-protest a group of fash and their followers whose leader was kicked out of his last outfit for messing with a 16 year old who have gathered to harass refugees to “defend women and girls”

Black Country people: fash are trying to mobilise people in Dudley this Sunday, hot off back of former Tory MP & multiple property owner Marco Longhi’s campaign to remove leisure discount for asylum-seekers. Please join the counter demo 11am at the Fountain if you can.

V excited & a bit teary: my boy got his place at LJMU confirmed today - what a city to study in!

His primary years were dominated by Gove & austerity - secondary more austerity & COVID.

All credit to this cohort of students & the families & education workers who got us here this #resultsday.

Chris Smalls is still held hostage having been kidnapped, beaten & choked by IDF - trying to bring aid to Gaza’s children. The US govt is refusing consular support.

Unions around the world should be calling for his release.

(Pic from when D met him at TUC event in 2023)

Somehow, my firstborn, my boy, the one who made me a mother, is an adult! 18 years gone since the lovely midwives, nurses & HCAs were coming in to get extra peaks at the “boster” baby at Russell’s Hall, he is a beautiful boster to this day! Love him more than he can ever know ♥️🎂
