Rishi Sunak says that everyone cares about stopping small boats. I don’t know about you, but I’m bothered about the entirely preventable emergency in the NHS, poverty wages, wealth inequality, the housing crisis - not shitting on desperate human beings in dinghies #BBCLauraK
I was forced to leave Afghanistan in 1999 and my nephew left last year.
I found safety in the UK and realised my dream to become a doctor.
He's also found safety in Sweden and is pursuing his passion to become an entrepreneur.
We, refugees, are dreamers, not random numbers.
Childhood trauma disrupts our perception of ourselves. So many of you are incredibly magnetic, interesting, and you light the room. I wish more people could see the version of themselves the world sees rather than the version of themselves disorted by trauma.
The biggest change of viewpoint I ever went through in psych training was when I said “but what if they’re doing it for attention” and my supervisor was like “what’s wrong with needing attention?” and I realised I didn’t have an answer.

What utterly fascinates me…
…is the capacity of young women like Greta Thunberg or Meghan Markle to effortlessly trigger to meltdown the emotions of a certain type of 60-year-old-plus man.
What’s going on there?
A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK. Giving a huge platform to a man to fantasise about violence against a woman he wants to “parade naked through the streets” dangerously legitimises the violent thoughts of men all over the country.
To put in context multi millionaire Nadhim Zahawi threatening nurses & ambulance paramedics with bringing in soldiers to break their strike, it’s worth remembering his expenses claim which included heating his horses’ stables was more than a nurse on starting pay is asking for.
Whatever you're going through, you're not alone.

Liz Truss’ new cabinet is filled with out-of-touch ultra-Thatcherites who have opposed women’s and LGBTQ rights, dismissed the climate emergency and insulted working class people.
Here’s a thread of some of the leading stars and their greatest hits 🧵👇🏽
When Liz Truss rejects a windfall tax on the £170,000,000,000 profits oil and gas giants are expected to make, it's worth remembering:
She's a former Shell employee whose party has taken more than £1,500,000 in donations from the oil and gas industry since the last election.
My mum owns a small café in Leicester. Her electricity bill has just jumped from £10k ($12k) a year to £55k ($64k) a year.
She is working out her options but more than likely she will be forced to close.
