Lovely humans,
I'm training to run a half-marathon for @scotrefugeecouncil.bsky.social in May!
I only started running last year so this is a big challenge for me - but I know the challenge for refugees to rebuild their lives is even greater.
All donations/shares would be HUGELY appreciated!! ❤️❤️❤️

It’s official. I will be introducing a Bill for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza.
The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?

A lot of discussions again around young men and masculinity since Adolescence was released. I haven't seen it yet, but much of the themes are of course relevant to my research.

Labour, taking the "very difficult" decision to get rid of NHS England, and to cut benefits for the elderly, extreme poor, and disabled.
But when was it ever difficult to attack those most in need? The most vulnerable?
Starmer and his party are cowards and bullies!
