It’s been shamefully lost in the violence and chaos we’ve seen across the country in recent days, but Southport is a community in mourning.

Beautiful pictures from tonight’s vigil in the town from @snapperlane

[Martin Vernon @runnermandoc]

Many commissioned community rehab beds aren’t providing rehab & recovery services but instead used for ‘warehousing’ after acute stays

Meaning ~20k people/year are placed in ‘intermediate care’ beds without rehabilitation

Bad for them and bad for the NHS https://t.co/ZPrSwSoYxR

[Grace Walker @Gracewalker8]

Completely this. I cannot bear that we are not talking more about these girls. That instead the response to horrific male violence is yet more horrific male violence.

[sianushka @sianushka]

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

A low-income community near Boston assigned individuals by lottery to receive a monthly cash benefit. Those who received the benefit had less use of the ED, particularly for behavioral health & substance use, and decreased hospital admissions from the ED. https://t.co/nJoE6w3I0L

[Eileen Burns @EileenBurns13]

We need REHABILITATION, not just some nice sleepy place for people to be. We know from experiments in the pandemic that just placing frail older people (those who are stuck in hospital ("blocking beds") deteriorate more and need permanent care homes placement or more care at home

Now that the Greens have won 4 seats , can we please have endless discussions on every media outlet about the rise of progressive politics & how important saving the planet is to the UK electorate.
