@HoyleTime That’s a big bag for a little person! Big occasion! Hope you were both ok about it 😊. He’s gorgeous btw - love your Oscar posts 😊 They grow soo fast - my daughter’s just turned 18 - I’m not ready for her to go to uni😂. Enjoy every minute

[Chris @chriscolso]

@EASprecher That’s brilliant though! Can I ask who the service were - if they are nearby I’d definitely advertise to students😊

[Chris @chriscolso]

@Ross_Renton Been saying this for years!

@JeremyVineOn5 Please report on something serious like the government plan to put 16-18 year old vulnerable children in unregulated accommodation 🙏🏻

@article_39 Just makes me want to cry it’s so sad. Under law they are children until age 18 yet this bill is a total contradiction to this fundamental law. Just exhausted being angry about it.

[Chris @chriscolso]

@mart_compton Totally and utterly agree

@thatbloodyMikey It’s not the police’s bill - it’s the government’s. Police have to enforce the laws the government set - when is everyone going to blame the government and not the police!

[Chris @chriscolso]

@RosieFean Soo me!

[Chris @chriscolso]

@mart_compton Just wait until you get to the teen fiction - some of it is brilliant... couldn’t put the books down😂.

[Chris @chriscolso]

@_LisaCherry I think there may be more to this than is first being presented- waiting for more information to come out

[Chris @chriscolso]

@HoyleTime @kathrynamyhill Aha thank you so much 😊

[Chris @chriscolso]

@mart_compton Custard cream defo!

[Chris @chriscolso]

@HoyleTime @kathrynamyhill Unfortunately still don’t answer the question of how long spent in care to qualify or what evidence is required- I’ll keep searching!
