[Geraldine O'Kane @poet_okane]

I got told by an editor I should stop writing those impure found poems and "say it in your own words, from your own heart". All found poems I write come into my own voice. I say bullshit, be creative any way you can don't let anyone tell you different.

Dementia is the leading cause of death in the UK. By 2025, over 1 million people will be suffering from the disease. The impact on loved ones is unquantifiable.

Now, more than ever, we need a National Care Service — publicly funded and free for all those who need it.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

84 years ago, over 7,000 Jewish business & homes were destroyed, hundreds of synagogues were burned, and 30,000 Jews were taken to concentration camps.

In memory of Kristallnacht, we must remain vigilant in our fight against antisemitism, fascism & all forms of discrimination.

[Geraldine O'Kane @poet_okane]

Just found this gorgeous review of Unsafe from this time last year by - thank you very much, I'm a bit taken aback by how generous it is and very beautifully written. Read the review and check out Eoghan's work. Give @totten93 and @SeasideBooks a follow. https://t.co/o1vSpdUECW

@dappernorman @jeremycorbyn Yes, been saying this for ages, Jeremy could entirely lead a successful new party, built on understanding and fuelled by hope (sounds a bit trite but I can't express it any better right now).

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The debacle of Liz Truss’ short-lived premiership is a symptom of a broken economic system and a trashed democracy.

We will continue to lurch from crisis to crisis — and ordinary people will pay the price — until we finally build a society for the many, not the few.
