As far as I can tell, giving many children with SEND the support they need as a parent is a full time job in itself. Add the complicated paperwork that needs time, headspace and high levels of literacy to complete and it's far less likely to reach those who need it the most.

Last week I outted myself- as a middle class benefit claimant. I described how I was terrified of potential Tory cuts.
Your response was incredible: uplifting, but also sad.
So I've been encouraged to write more 1/🧵

“Responsibility starts with the governments of wealthy nations who stockpiled hundreds of millions of vaccines and who, even when warned about the failure to vaccinate more vulnerable parts of the world, did too little as the virus mutated.”

Stunning speech at #GlasgowCop26 by @miaamormottley setting out the need for leaders to commit to the ambition of 2015 #ParisAgreement to keep global warming below a 1.5C rise. The hour is late & the talks are in overtime; credible outcome & not further delay needed. @jamespeshaw

I'm on my way home from #COP26, full of frustration and fury after reading the draft declaration. The world's powerful governments propose to do more to defend the fossil fuel industry than to defend life on Earth.

If you are suddenly facing Christmas alone, I have tips. I LOVE Christmas alone so get on board.

Food: What would you ideally like to eat if no-one could limit you or judge you? Nothing but pigs in blankets? Just cake? Pot Noodle? Get that! I’m having cheese and crackers.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day has to be ‘suspire’: to (finally) breathe out.
