Yesterday (13th Jan) we had a week's worth of post from @RoyalMail including an NHS letter for an appointment on 7th Jan (too late!).
Last week and the week before a postie lied about two 'attempted deliveries' to our house.
When will we have a reliable post service again?
"We finished paying off slave owners in 2015."
"I paid, my mum paid, and my granny paid."
@AytonImarn and @ayeshahazarika highlight the history of slavery, followed by colonialism, and the notion of intergenerational trauma.

Watch this it’s fascinating - I asked James Timpson what he’d do about prisons and sentencing if he was in charge. He believes only a third of prisoners in jail should definitely be there. He’s now in charge of prisons (but not sentencing).

Not again! I have NOT given my permission to be used in political adverts. This is NOT an endorsement by me in any way. I maintain strict party neutrality and am unhappy at the weaponizing of my reputation in this way.
While this isn't as bad as the first terrible representation – which said it this about tax - there's still a misdirection. As I’ve already stated, in that private conversation I was referring to Labour hoping to make a positive change I’ve been campaigning for, but it didn’t want to lock it in the manifesto as it can’t promise to deliver.
NO party’s manifesto tells the full story. ALL parties have things they hope to do but that aren’t in manifestos – as they can’t guarantee to deliver. The idea that Labour is an outlier for that is preposterous.
