@Uber Disgusting that your driver drove off because I took too long - literally 2 minutes - to walk outside and get to the car when I am recovering from major surgery and the job was to take me to hospital. Just left me stranded on the street.

Join @Mini_Stories and @Place2Be as they launch Anemotions for World Mental Health Day, to help young people write and share their emotions. ❤️

How can you find the courage to stand up to bullies? How do friends help you when you’re feeling sad? 💭

Please take a moment to consider how miraculous LIBRARIES are. They're among the last public spaces left! They're open to everyone, giving us all the power to access books, computers, and best of all, LIBRARIANS to help us find what we need! #SaveLibraries

Happy 11th birthday @Mini_Stories 🎈

[Ministry of Stories @Mini_Stories]

Today we turn 11 🎈

We're a little older, a little wiser & thankful for everyone who has supported us through the years to ensure our young writers can continue to write a better future.

To celebrate, we will be sharing 11 great moments from the last year.

[Ministry of Stories @Mini_Stories]

A year of #MinistryofStories

3. Young people from William Patten School wrote powerful poems demanding change as part of our 'A Child's Right' anthology telling the world the change they wanted to see.

So sad. Covid is still very real and ruining lives. Please stop acting like it has gone away.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

My friend just passed away ☹️

He was an NHS surgeon, double vaccinated, caught covid, had been in intensive care for a few weeks, and died tonight, leaving behind a wife and three young children 😢

Please help save lives and #WearAMask 🙏

We are so relieved to have got Cabbage home after a man found her and four of the other dogs wandering the streets - but please look out for Buffy

[Rory Cellan-Jones @ruskin147]

Cabbage is home!

[Holly Gillanders @holbees]

Of course he didn't. Is it any wonder so many of us don't feel safe being in public when our 'leader' leads by this example?

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

Boris Johnson's spokespeople repeatedly told us this week that the prime minister had followed "all the guidelines" on mask-wearing during his hospital visit this week.

Just a straight up lie.

[Rory Cellan-Jones @ruskin147]

PLEASE SHARE THIS. Our dog walker’s van with our dog Cabbage in it has been stolen while he was calling at a house in Erconwald Street near East Acton tube London W3 at 10. Please look out for a black Ford Transit reg AF20 XZD. Take a photo and DM me or just ring the police

[Holly Gillanders @holbees]

People in Ealing and Acton, please keep an eye out for this van and these poor dogs who must he frightened

[Lesley Wilkinson @janelesley]

Heartbroken. A friend who caught Covid at the same meeting as us has passed away after 4 wks, seemingly recovering. The NHS staff were wonderful.

Please, folks, think of others. Wear your masks. Without knowing it, you could be the connection that saves or takes a life. 😢😢😷
