Urgent winter clothing appeal for UK baby banks. In 2024 charity distributed 6,752 coats, 14,163 pairs of shoes, 2,857 blankets, 1,472 items of bedding and 45,220 pairs of socks to families in need. Low wages/benefits; high energy, water, grocery costs; unchecked profiteering take toll.

I am proud of what immigrants like my mum and those across Luton North have given to our country. Many serve in our NHS, open biz, enrich culture/arts & much more. The best way to avoid becoming an ‘island of strangers’ is investing in communities to thrive - not pitting people against each other.

The Labour government says it has delivered over two million extra NHS appointments - including for chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endoscopy, and diagnostic tests -seven months early. This gov has got many things wrong, but in this crucial area it appears to be making real progress.

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

Fascinating interview with the journalist Andrew Norfolk who first exposed grooming gangs more than a decade ago. He hits out at Musk and says another inquiry won’t help victims, though more work should be done to understand causes of the horrific abuse.
