🚨This is not what I expect from a Labour government

THESE SHOCKING cuts are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child - the Adoption & Special Guardianship Support Fund is a lifeline for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England

#SixonSaturday 🌱
First time doing six on Saturday... hope you love these colours and fungi as much as I do!

A brown and white shelf type fungus growing on a fallen tree in woodland surrounded by ferns.

A bulrush is seen popping its stem and head out of a dense wooded area of ferns/bracken with tall trees in the background.

Looking up a tree that's covered in moss/lichen to the underside of a large fungus growing out like a plate. The still green canopy of the tree visible at the very top.

More fungus growing on a silver birch, photo taken from the underside.

Trump has blown up another small boat in the Caribbean, killing several people. For the first time there were survivors. It isn’t known if the US rescued them, NBC News reports.
