Incredibly poignant cartoon by ⁦@mortenmorland⁩ in today’s Times.

If you know someone who lives alone, perhaps bereaved, for whom today may hit especially hard, perhaps give them a ring later on 🖤

Watch this,world. Watch pregnant Ukrainian women with their faces covered in blood. Watch facilities for newborn babies destroyed. Watch dead bodies buried in a mass grave because of incessant bombardment of Mariupol. You enabled Putin for years,and it's the result

None of us imagine that this will be us, but this is the reality for all fleeing conflict. "Is our government really so heartless?" Are the voters that support our hostile environment going to reflect on this?

[Carolyn Powell @Bizfizzy]

This is one of the saddest and most distressing periods in UK history. A group of wealthy privileged people are openly taking the food out of the mouths of the county’s citizens and appear content that old and young will go cold and hungry. Of course, it won’t hurt them.
