Two boat disasters. One arising from excess wealth, one arising from excess poverty. Both are tragedies. But it seems we are only interested in one of them and have quickly forgotten the other

‘Journalism’ - remember it? Well done @krishgm

[Lou Calvey @LouCalvey]

Keep countering these myths. In your everyday conversations. That helps MASSIVELY.

And if you have any good faith questions ask them, anytime. The more good people we have understanding the real situations the better.

@AAAAGH__ @ali_mowbray @Femi_Sorry At least they are speaking up about injustice. They are using their influence and fame to make a difference, giving a voice to those that have been silenced.

[Ali Mowbray 💙 @ali_mowbray]

So powerful.

Please spare a thought for the asylum-seeker vets sitting the 1st part of their @theRCVS membership exams all this week, hoping to be able to practise here. The UK is desperately short of vets - and they desperately want to work! Thanks to the RCVS for their incredible support.

Don’t say ‘migrants’. Say refugees and asylum seekers. Don’t say until ‘they get processed’. Say until their cases get assessed. And whatever you do, don’t describe a human being as illegal. An action can be illegal not an existence. Do your bit to stop the dehumanising language.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

On February 24, millions of us made a choice. Not a white flag, but the blue and yellow one. Not fleeing, but facing. Resisting & fighting.
It was a year of pain, sorrow, faith, and unity. And this year, we remained invincible. We know that 2023 will be the year of our victory!

Nurses work under enormous pressure to keep us and our loved ones alive and healthy.

The government failed to protect them during the pandemic, and now demonises them in the press while suppressing their pay.

Whose side are you on?

"Everyone on the ward, they're just brilliant... considering the lack of resources."

A mother of a three-year-old with a "life-shortening condition" tells Health Secretary Steve Barclay the government's handling of the NHS is causing "agony" to families like hers.

Once upon a time,
Slavery was legal
Apartheid was legal
The death penalty was legal
Imprisoning gay men was legal
Beating a child was legal.
Yesterday, a high court judge said sending vulnerable asylum seekers to Rwanda is legal.

Never assume that legal equals moral or ethical.

@BrettOfKent @TrussellTrust @Tesco It’s also about raising awareness… many people don’t realise just how big a problem there is for so many.

[Green Alliance @GreenAllianceUK]

Today is #BlackFriday. That means people will feel pressured into buying things they don’t want or need. This will quickly become waste.

🗑️What’s worse, many of the products people are likely to buy today come with hefty environmental price tags.

Inclusion is not about me welcoming you into my world as safe as it seems to me, or you welcoming me into yours as safe as it seems to you. Instead it’s about our courage to walk together as we build a new, different & better world that neither of us has ever experienced before.

[Lou Calvey @LouCalvey]

Folk know more than our politicians & a lot smarter & kinder too. She’s spot on. Nobody is illegal. Heartening to see this. #RefugeesWelcome 🧡
