Men and boys, we need you to start learning how to hold each other to account.

Sorry to hear that, Im glad a friendly face managed to support you. It’s harder when newer faces are in the room, we do a pretty good job of checking in with people as long as we know they’d appreciate it. Any future events, feel free to nudge me (I’m GPC co-chair), I’ll happily be a friendly face 💚

"There's people who will cook food in their own homes and take it out and feed people who are less fortunate... That's patriotism. That's love for your community. And that's standing up for British values."

Dropped into Lush today to buy some 🍉 soap.
75% of the price from each bar sold goes towards funding medical services, including organisations that are gearing up to provide prosthetic limb services to adults and children injured in Gaza, Palestine.

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Magie's 1904 patent for The Landlord's Game is the origin of Monopoly. Lizzie was a writer and feminist who created the game to teach about the dangers of land monopolies and advocate for taxation.
