Private Equity Is Making Big Money From UK’s Most Vulnerable Children.
Due to privatisation 80% of children's care homes run by corporations.
Profit margins of 20%, lenders take another 10%, leaving less for care.
Substandard homes in distant places.
Govt won't end the scam.

Not a single mention of Long Covid in the Get Britain Working White Paper.
Govt still ignoring NHS staff & frontline workers, who put their lives on the line during the pandemic, now suffering with the condition.
We urgently need to recognise Long Covid as an occupational disease.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.
More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.
