MPs have been told a ‘dearth’ of appropriate community settings for people with autism and learning disabilities is leading to individuals remaining locked away in inpatients units. @mencap_charity@LearningDisEng@RightfulLives@CBFdn@AQuinnUnbroken

People with learning disabilities are 6 times more likely to have died from Covid-19 than the general population. As @Dan_scorer said in @CommonsHealth today, this reflects existing inequalities and lack of access to healthcare services during the pandemic
This is still one of my favourite clips of Ken Loach. You won’t find a much better example of how not to take any shit from the BBC.
They don’t like hearing the truth. #IStandWithKenLoach

I’m beyond thrilled to share that on March 16, I’ll be launching a new show on @Netflix called Waffles + Mochi! I'm excited for families and children everywhere to join us on our adventures as we discover, cook, and eat delicious food from all over the world.
If anyone had a right to question whether our democracy was worth redeeming, it was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Because in the face of billy clubs and lynchings, poll taxes and literacy tests, he never gave in to violence, never waved a traitorous flag or gave up on our country.
A historic day. Congratulations to our new President @JoeBiden and our new Vice President @KamalaHarris.
Now we must begin creating justice, healing our planet, and improving the material conditions for all people.
The work is on all of us to organize and build a better future.

1,564 people reported dead from COVID in Britain today.
I just Googled this because I literally couldn't visualise it. It's four jumbo jets falling from the sky & killing everyone on board. An entire secondary school. Half a 9/11.
I totally agree with you @MarcusRashford, these food parcels do not meet the standards we set out and we have made it clear to the company involved that this is disgraceful. The company concerned has rightly apologised and agreed to reimburse those affected.
