I want to tell you a little story about a family who have been massively effected by the economic crisis this government has caused.
This family lives in a private rented house as buying is out of reach. A few wks ago the landlord says I'm selling as need the money to live 1/10
After 6 years, it's finally gone in 🥳
I hope I have done everyone who worked with me proud & thank you for trusting me with your story or allowing me to be part of your journey.
It's all in the hands of the Gods now... aka my examiners.. so wish me luck 🙈

I am sickened by what you have said here. Believe it or not remainers & leavers are quite rightly annoyed. This is about double standards, about loss & grief & how the people (the ones who gave you a job) adhered to the rules whilst

Graham Stuart says the reason people are so angry about Boris Johnson lying about the Christmas party in his home while thousands were dying is just because of bitter remoaners.

Thank you

for providing the decency.
In this exact situation. This is the reason union's strike, this is the reason us "lefties" kick off when services are cut & the rich are given tax breaks. This could easily be you or me if one wage packet suddenly stopped. This is why we all need to come together to protect 8/10
are in need, when times get hard. But if we paid all our workers a decent fairer wage in line with inflation we wouldn't need as much help. If we gave tax breaks to the right people and lowered their bills the economy would all prosper, making a happier society.

They were given 3 weeks notice. No affordable rentals anywhere near the childrens schools or work were available. Mum is a highly respected OT for the NHS.
Mum has no family to lean on as is a ex child in care. She is also a single mum to 3 under 11s. 2/10
Mum did the 1 thing she never ever wanted to do, she went to ask for help in social housing. She was put on a list but not priority.
The day came when she & children were kicked out. The council only had a hotel room for them. Yes 4 people in 1 room, but it doesn't end there 3/10
Each morning they got ready for school/work packed their bags not knowing where they were next placed. Each day at 12pm mum got a call saying where a room would be available that night. All of these spaces had no cooking facilities. These hotels & hostels were miles away 4/10

finally found a housing association house after begging & being a pain. The house was full of cigarettes, deep stench of smoke, ripped & coloured in walls, bare concrete floors, nothing in the kitchen. Mum was told she needed to do it herself with a £40 voucher they gave her 6/10

Worse thing about having covid so far.. Hearing your husband trivialise your symptoms to everyone as a bad cold. I've given birth to 3 children so a cold doesn't floor me. If people knew how horrible this was they would still be vigilant. It's horrible. I'm in pain. Wear a mask!

Today has been a hard one for a number of reasons. The biggest being 7 years ago today I said my last goodbye to my mum.
But with not a drop of rain in the sky she's just sent me a little message to know she's still here & got my back 🌈 Miss you 💔 here's to those brighter days
I lost a beautiful friend this week, someone who helped shape me into who I am today. A gentle and caring soul whose hugs I will miss deeply.
In her honour I stopped the excuses & learnt something I've wanted to do in ages. I can now stand 🏄♀️

First day out of isolation today for 21 days. Went for a walk that usually takes me 45 mins. It took 2.5 hours, I had to use my inhaler twice & my heartrate hit 195.
Covid sucks so still stay safe, be considerate of others & wear a mask 😷

I've been ill now 11 days, assumed it was flu as I was testing negative on lat flows. Did a PCR boxing day & only got results today. I'm positive 😔
I work from home, wear a mask at my weekly outing at the supermarket but yet this is my 2nd time in 6mths. Be careful 😭
Ending the year by watching the sunset at the beach. Such beautiful colours give me hope that next year things can only get better.
Happy New Year everyone, I hope it brings you love, happiness and good health 🥳
Beautiful trip out to Mappleton beach yesterday, first time outside since Covid to get that much needed fresh air. But wow the coast has taken a battering with lots of new erosion in big chunks.
I love it when hashtags like

please don't put it under science, environmental education IS NOT JUST SCIENCE instead introduce Climate literacy that trickles through the whole curriculum in every subject and holistically teaches a child. In other words listen to what the experts recommend 🤦🏻♀️

@nationaltrust
for highlighting the real history behind the places you care for 👏
This is the history our children should be taught, the truth so we can understand how not to repeat the past but to learn from it.
Many of the places we care for have direct or indirect links to slavery, including objects made from materials obtained by forced labour.
Today, as we mark the

Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, we take a closer look at these materials.
