Rereading 2005 @DorothyERoberts today and reminded of how much the tide is shifting here, just 16 years later.

Our friends at @Refuweegee are still providing support packages to EVERYONE who needs them. If you're in Glasgow and you're struggling, please text them on 07520648388.
This is SUCH a critical point: the trialling of punitive, humiliating and inhumane policies on the most vulnerable, they go largely below the radar then enter the mainstream. And Section 4 support has only increased by pennies since 2000. No one is safe until we are all safe.
Do people who are not on the official shielding list, but who are at very high clinical risk from Covid, know they can ask their GP if they can be added? Last week I asked mine. Being on the official list may be a route to getting much needed support. It's vital people know this.
On Thursday, MPs will debate the No Recourse to Public Funds rule. It bars 1.4 million people from the social safety net just because of their immigration status. We all need access to the basics. I've asked my MP to speak out - will you join me?https://t.co/pTNDWWukgM

It feels impossible to describe to those who haven’t lived it, the all-consuming horrors of navigating the #SEND system so that your child can have what others take for granted. Hope @BBCPanorama has captured some of that tonight #SEND
Prude died of asphyxiation after several police officers put a hood over his head, naked, his face was pressed into the pavement for 2 mins after his death & his death was blamed on drug overdose in the beginning! Sound familiar? #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/ngk6Nzwe9Q
