Under the Governments "social care reform" if you own a home worth a million pounds, over 90% of your assets will be protected, but if your home is worth £100,000, you could end up losing it all.

How can anyone in Govt say the news that sexual harassment, threats of sexual violence, sexual assault in schools is "shocking". It isn't shocking because groups like EVAW, Women's Aid, Womankind Worldwide have been gathering stats on this since 2005 in my recollection alone.
Wonderful news that #SophieBaverstock won @bbcthree @GlowUpBBC series - what a talent and what a positive story for our community. Here's her make up piece on masking. #autism
