The truth is that addiction is not a moral failing or an inevitable path to self-destruction — it is a treatable illness that requires intervention, compassion and strong community boundaries.

In 1948 the principles of the NHS were simple. Make sure it has enough money and staff to meet the needs of the population, who all get equal access to top quality healthcare, protecting it from private sector motives.

Those principles remain true today.

We must stand together to save our NHS 💙

The government failed to confirm Netanyahu would be immediately arrested in the UK, despite an ICC warrant.

They admitted UK-made F-35 parts could violate international law, yet continue selling arms.

When will the government end its complicity in genocide & end all arms sales?

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza.

If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.

People were thrown out of Wembley for having a Palestine flag, or having a Palestine flag handbag.

If you are a rebel and you support Palestine, lets fly the flag against this outrageous censorship.

Recovery from addiction is rarely linear. Be gentle with yourself and remember every step counts, no matter how small.
