If you're considering where to make a Christmas Donation, can strongly recommend the amazing charity INQUEST. They gave me vital support to navigate the system after my mum died and do so much for families like mine. The funding landscape is v tough atm, anything you can spare would be a big help -
🌟 Our Christmas Fundraiser is LIVE 🌟
From now until 9 Dec, every donation made to INQUEST via @biggive.bsky.social will be matched at no extra cost to you.
We need to raise £30,000 so we can continue supporting families bereaved by state failures & neglect.

I've written for @labourlist.bsky.social on the government's early years policy - and where it is, and isn't, likely to deliver for young children from lower income homes:

Still struggling to comprehend what happened yesterday. I know many of my friends and neighbours are terrified. Standing in deep solidarity with the Jewish community and against those perpetrating hate. Devastating for this to happen in our country on this holy day. You are not alone ❤️
