It's impossible to overheat on Elizabeth Line trains, the AC is SO good. A fitting tribute to a woman that produced a sweatless child 😍

It is really depressing how the impact of ending private school tax breaks on less than 10% of British children gets so much attention - much of it exaggerated - whilst the impact of austerity on 90% of British children in state schools has had so little 👇🏾

James Henderson, a former Royal Marine, was murdered by the IDF while carrying food to children in Gaza.

His fiancée said of him: “We want to keep his memory alive for as long as we possibly can.”

Remember his name.

I’m (very) delighted that @PJHarveyUK agreed to collaborate on this celebration of the Voyager spacecraft for my Emergence tour (in UK Arenas this October!) and that she’s released the track as a single :-) Also featuring the Miraval Studios Orchestra and arrangement by Dario Marianelli.

The news cycle moves on quickly - particularly when there’s huge and consequential things happening - like a change of prime minister.

But there’s one story that I haven’t been able to get out of my head. And I don’t just want to move away from.

It’s the story of what happened to little Preston Davey.

He was born to a murderer. When she was 15, his mum killed a pensioner, crammed her in a bin and used her savings to buy crisps and chocolate. Preston was taken from her when he was five days old.

Preston was then adopted by two men who abused him in the most unimaginable way. One of them - a teacher - was given a whole life order for sexually abusing him and causing his death.

Preston was only 13 months old.

But here’s the thing. Because it is not true to say Preston only knew abuse. To say Preston never knew happiness.

Because from the age of 5 days to 10 months, Preston was looked after by two people who actually sound pretty amazing.

His foster parents.

I haven’t said the names of his biological mother or his adoptive parents. But Preston’s foster parents are two people whose name we should remember.

Sandra and Paul Cooper.

Sandra told the court: "Paul and I will often watch the videos we took of Preston when he was happy with us laughing and giggling, playing with his toys smiling. Preston's face would light up when we looked at him; he was joyful, so content and happy, with sparkly smiling eyes. That is how we want to remember him.”

They warned the social workers about concerns they had over his adoptive parents. But they weren’t listened to.

And they’ve been left devastated by his death.

Sandra says she dreams of Preston. He’s still alive in those dreams. Paul says he cries for him every single week.

Sandra and Paul fostered dozens of children. Preston was going to be their last - their retirement baby. but now they feel they have to keep going, in Preston’s memory.

Robin Williams once said, "Politicians should wear sponsor jackets like NASCAR drivers, then we know who owns them."

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I don’t really think it’s about me Karoline. I think it’s about the idea that we all have fallen down and that we all wish we could be a little kinder to each other. And we all hope for a little grace and understanding when we get honest with ourselves and the world. And we all have that friend or brother or parent or son that has fucked up but fought to get back on their feet. Or that may be you. Or it may be the one that lost the battle and we are mourning them every day- and asking why couldn’t he fight for himself. Whatever it is- it’s not about me. It’s about all of us. So I genuinely ask you to forget about me- and reach out to someone you love who is struggling and tell them you’ll fight alongside them if they will fight for themselves.
