the government is investing £560m to reform children's social care and expand and refurbish children's homes. it is unacceptable for providers to profit excessively from vulnerable children. 20k per week per child being a common rate charged by private providers. Better with Labour. 👍

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

They call it “repeated protests.” As if persistence were a crime. Every movement that’s ever changed this country: civil rights, suffrage, peace, equality, was repeated until someone listened. Restricting protest because it happens too often is to say “You may speak truth to power, but only once.”
