A must see by @SkyNews - this is close to home for a lot but needs exposing. Far too many "care leavers" & CEP are being failed by the authorities and people suppoaed to protect them.
A deeply tragic, sad but important & powerful story that needs told, & listened to.

Sunday is #IOAD2025 - I will be thinking of lots of people but esp my mum who died of a drug overdose last year. Loosing anyone but esp parents to an overdose is complex with layers of grief. There is still so much stigma & shame attached.
Lots of events going on across the world. Get involved💜

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months.
The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.
Unexpected. Unplanned. No plan. Just spontaneous. Arrived in Donegal for the night💚🇮🇪

🚨 New child poverty figures out today paint a stark picture - 22% of children in Scotland are trapped in poverty
➡️ While lower than the UK’s 31% rate, this still falls short of the 18% interim target. Urgent action is needed
