East London Peabody residents left without heating and hot water - some since September 2025
The landlord has repeatedly ignored residents' pleas to fix the problems, and has instead supplied some with blow-heaters as a solution.

Just finished watching #StrangerThings. That was brutal. I’m not ashamed to admit that it had me in tears several times. A story that took a decade to tell. Here’s to the Duffer Brothers for creating such an amazing world!

Crying listening to Rachel talk about these poor, brave women fleeing persecution. These are clearly refugees. Both the UK and France are letting refugees down. We need to be better, kinder.
Cannot stop thinking about the people I met in Calais. They deserve so much better.

The Christmas story begins with a family forced to flee violence and seek safety elsewhere. That memory calls us to stand with today’s migrants and refugees, and to choose welcome over fear as we work toward a more just and caring world.

Innocent people end up in our criminal courts.
Completely, terrifyingly innocent.
And all that stands between them and losing everything is a fair trial.
