Totally agree. And UK welfare generosity ranks near the bottom of other OECD countries!

So good to take part in this today! Hundreds of food aid workers coming together for a day of hope, solidarity and action, calling for an #essentialsguarantee.

Thanks to @trusselluk.bsky.social and @sabinegoodwin.bsky.social for organising...an incredible effort.

Great piece by @sabinegoodwin.bsky.social Almost a year since the new gov elected and the situation for food banks is no better

Food bank volunteers are having to face facts, writes Sabine Goodwin, director of the Independent Food Aid Network.

Keir Starmer promised to end food bank Britain. What happened?

Having seen the lineup, I'm not getting the "better team" vibes!

Charlotte White @charlottemwhite.bsky.social · Mar 8

On our way now! Part of me is trying to be optimistic as we haven't played badly in our two games against Liv this season...but then I remember our recent performances and a deep, nauseous fear sets in.

Charlotte White @charlottemwhite.bsky.social · Feb 25

Genuinely think we should be rewarded for staying that long....

Charlotte White @charlottemwhite.bsky.social · Feb 25

Ha ha, just had that conversation with my son! We have agreed to leave after the fourth....

I'm the same. Chose not to go today, just couldn't do it. I just find it all exhausting...there is no joy, no bright moments or performances that make up for the drab. All gloom.

Charlotte White @charlottemwhite.bsky.social · Feb 8

God, that was depressing. Another low to add to the mountain of lows this season...

Great escape starts here!

Yep, agony

Happy New Year #saintsfc fans. So, given we all know we're already down, can we at least ask for a few things
- to not beat Derby's record...12 points please
- to finally score from a set piece
- to have at least one joyous, fun win (like Huddersfield last year)
(Actually, just a win will do...)

It's so bleak and exhausting. Football should be the fun part of life, the escapism where you can forget the other stressful bits.
I find it's the other way round at the moment!

Oh Russell, it's so over we need a new word for over #saintsfc

Totally agree. Live in fear that he'll get injured...

Charlotte White @charlottemwhite.bsky.social · Dec 4

Yeah, idiotic! Got the less experienced players giving their all and then the supposed "leader" does that. Embarrassing.

1

Charlotte White @charlottemwhite.bsky.social · Dec 4

That's the frustrating thing...there are some really good performances/signs but the negative/stupid stuff just outweighs all that massively.

Charlotte White @charlottemwhite.bsky.social · Dec 4

A great listen, as usual, keeping us sane in these trying times (and look, TSP is top of my Spotify wrapped)

Charlotte White @charlottemwhite.bsky.social · Dec 4

Agree. Zero expectations, hopefully some players will relish the chance to show what they can do (and even if it goes to pot, we can console ourselves with the fact that Downes, THB and Dibling will be well-rested for Sat!)

Charlotte White @charlottemwhite.bsky.social · Dec 2

Very happy with that!

Charlotte White @charlottemwhite.bsky.social · Nov 30

Yes!

So fed up of this season. What more can be thrown at us.

Charlotte White @charlottemwhite.bsky.social · Nov 28

Gutted to see him leave, but when it happens, he should go with our absolute best wishes. Has done so much for us and stuck with us last year

Charlotte White @charlottemwhite.bsky.social · Nov 24

Yeah, definitely feels that way....

Charlotte White @charlottemwhite.bsky.social · Nov 24

Ha ha, very good point! (Am losing my mind in these desperate times)
