Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

Solidarity ✊ I can't imagine how it feels to be living under a cost of living crisis working for this company, and witnessing the board allocate $148.7 billion worth of share to an absent CEO to become the first ever Trillionaire.

I think the thing that blows my mind about this is, that in a housing crisis, she shows up wearing the down payment for a house
