Jesus Christ. We go mad about one bloke we wrongly released, yet hear next to nothing about this horror? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

More than 50 child asylum seekers still missing after disappearing from Kent care

Council data obtained by the Guardian shows 345 children have gone missing in recent years, many probably taken by traffickers

Division and grievance.

Or dignity and respect.

The PM and the Labour government call out what is essentially racism from Reform PM Sarah Pochin.

Reform are not even hiding it any more.

After 5 previous governments have failed, this government's listened and this government's acted.

Sir Keir & Labour made Claire a promise and they are delivering a change in the law that will make such a difference in protection children so one has to go through have Claire & her children did.

I wrote my Masters dissertation on the menopause, in particular the extent to which women in the charity workforce are/aren't supported through it. This was one of many suggestions to come from it so pleased to see this happening. Another thing for this government to shout about ( more loudly)!

🚨Small boat migrants getting “private health care” while the rest of us have to use the NHS?!🚨

That’s outrageous!

Or is it?

Might the reality be a little more mundane and a little less clickbait-worthy?

I agree a lovely event and sorry we didn't get to meet in person. As the CEO of @make2ndscount.bsky.social we really valued @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social name-checking our charity's importance in giving hope to anyone affected by secondary breast cancer ❤️

IT is the leading cause of death in women under 60 years old, yet almost half of Brits are unaware of it. Though secondary breast cancer kills 1,000 people a month, it is often missed – and a…

I found tonight's @theguardian.com Live event with @ledbydonkeys.org inspiring and uplifting. Realising that there are still progressive and empathetic human beings out there brave enough to take action when injustices need righting/ calling out, was the tonic I needed.Now a new micro-donor.

I hope you know @dawnbutlerbrent.bsky.social the majority of people respect you and value you highly for all you do to make lives better. As a member of Labour Women's Network I am grateful for your strength and sisterhood.There are vile and despicable people out there who I hope are held to account

If you enjoy walking but want some circular routes which are easy to navigate ( and, importantly, finish at a cafe) check out the @yha #YHAWalks as part of their Festival of Walking. Oscar and I covered part of the Wales Coastal trail at Manorbier yesterday.

#greatnorthrun completed and money raised for @make2ndscount.bsky.social . I have to say the run was harder than expected, and by mile 7 getting a 'good' time was less important than finishing. Thanks for all the support

A lovely boost to my training and fundraising to receive my thank you card in the post. Newcastle and the Great North Run, here we come!

The England Cancer Plan presents us with an important opportunity to improve cancer outcomes but it needs to be ambitious and fully- funded.
I was proud to stand alongside 60+ cancer charities to press for us to be world-leading in cancer survivability. @make2ndscount.bsky.social #onecancervoice

Looks great @dawnbutlerbrent.bsky.social . I was on a float at Manchester Pride on Saturday and got a well- needed boost of love and positivity to counter the division and intolerance which seems to have raised its head recently. Long may happy vibes continue!

Samantha Dixon @sjdixon70.bsky.social · Aug 23

I've felt a bit down recently because of the hatred and polarisation in our news. So taking part in #manchesterpride with @make2ndscount.bsky.social supporters was guaranteed to fill me with much- needed hope and love

The best part of my job is getting out and meeting members of the @make2ndscount.bsky.social community so yesterday I was delighted to spend the day at Mid-Kent Golf Club with Andy & Sarah Lewis. They set out to raise £20k this year but will smash that. Thank you!
