I know times are tough, and this might seem a bit previous, but please give this some thought over the next few weeks, it could make all the difference to struggling families at Christmas. Feel free to share, let's make this a thing 🧸
I heard something recently that really made me pause.  A woman who works at a thrift store said she wishes people would donate their children's old toys before Christmas, not after.
She said every year, parents come in during the week before Christmas,  hoping to find toys they can afford,  and the shelves are nearly empty. Then, once the holidays are over,  the store fills up with donations, just a little too late for those families who needed them most.
If your kids are expecting new toys this Christmas,  maybe spend a day sorting through the ones they've outgrown.  A few early donations could mean another child wakes up to a little extra magic on Christmas morning

It is well known and accepted that all our economic problems are caused by a lack of productivity and workers being paid far too much! Oh, hang on, erm... 👇

UK longevity is forecast to go from nowhere near the top thirty in the world now, to nowhere near the top thirty in the world by 2100. So it seems only right that we should keep increasing the pension age so that working people work until they die, and banks and billionaires can get more tax breaks.

This 👇 is what one million US Dollars looks like. Facsist demagogue Elon Musk now has the equivalent of one million of these piles of cash ($1trillion). In a world where any child is hungry, thirsty or dispossessed, that is obscene beyond rational description.
A very large pile of cash totalling one million US dollars under a glass globe

This is promising, but it means nothing unless every single person takes five minutes out of their day, turns up and actually votes #Green It's why Governments constantly ignore the young, they don't turn out, pensioners do Turn up, stop Reform, vote Green 💚 #Gorton&Denton
