A must see by @SkyNews - this is close to home for a lot but needs exposing. Far too many "care leavers" & CEP are being failed by the authorities and people suppoaed to protect them. A deeply tragic, sad but important & powerful story that needs told, & listened to. youtu.be/f7l-E7qNF8M?...

Sunday is #IOAD2025 - I will be thinking of lots of people but esp my mum who died of a drug overdose last year. Loosing anyone but esp parents to an overdose is complex with layers of grief. There is still so much stigma & shame attached. Lots of events going on across the world. Get involved💜

Very important yet troubling report. This goes against everything that the *Promise* aims to change. Please take time to read 📚 Amongst the recommendations - we also need to make sure that our Education system has more teachers, smaller class sizes & MUCH much more resources.

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months. The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.
