Please sign. I know someone affected by this. They have treated the workers appallingly. Letting them know 3 days before payday they had no job. Withholding a month's wages and being very slow to sort out redundancy etc. www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/ju...

As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories? Reeves tweaks non-dom tax law because of “concerns” but ignores the cries of disabled, old, sick, poor. Poor are expendable. Wealthy potential donors less so. Govt must change direction.

Many care experienced young people including those in kinship care have experienced trauma. Isolation from family & friends while in care can adversely impact mental health further. We're supporting the #FutureMindsCampaign calling for immediate, scalable action to address the mental health crisis

As the @thebda.bsky.social point out today “to save a service millions depend on we need to see urgency and ambition” I’m backing the BDA in its call for urgent action to save NHS dentistry

Give those who work in child services the resources and the training to do their job. Further upstream work on better access to rehab, re-introduce surestart model. Before anyone worries about the expenditure. It will cost a lot more when damaged children become broken adults. Break the cycle.

Shocking 14% rise in homelessness in England. 354,000 people homeless, includes 161,500 children - equivalent to city the size of Coventry. Result of austerity, real wage/benefit cuts, unchecked profiteering. Govts make slogans do nothing to end inequities. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Such important work. I spoke to 2 birth mothers as part of my PhD exploring contact experiences in SGOs. Both mothers felt strongly "I am still their mother" and described feeling "powerless" in the system #kinship #birthmothers
