Why dont we call them ‘school meals’, rather than ‘free school meals’? It’s food Why is is it important to rub inequality and poverty into the faces of a basic human need? Life is shit enough for some kids. @frankcottrell_b @marcusryder @MarcusRashford @TheFarm_ @BrianReade

Tell an unpaid carer looking after someone that they are lazy. Tell someone on the minimum wage doing a 38 hour week and now facing £5k increases in energy bills they are lazy. Your toxic politics is as rotten as your soul.

RIP #JamieReid . It takes an extraordinary talent to be able to immediately convey an entire genre of music in a single image, or maybe the music and attitude was the sound of his visuals. Regardless, rarely has art and music worked so perfectly together and inspired so much.

“This is about solidarity, not charity” a poignant Swan song to Ken loach’s career, a voice that will be greatly missed in cinema. An optimistic story that shows us that even in dire circumstances human beings are good at heart and never underestimate the power of community.
