I’ve had a really upsetting few days. This week, I’ve been BANNED from talking about my YA books at a Catholic school. Full story here, but I urge you to read this thread too. I need your help, and more importantly, some LGBT kids do too…

Everyone knows what happened in Babyn Yar, right?
It is one of the singularly most horrific massacres in human history.
The Nazis murdered nearly all of Kyiv's Jewry – nearly 34,000 people – one bullet at a time over a period of only 2 days in 1941.
Thread.

• The ONS has attributed 83,700 deaths over the last 8 years to “cold housing”.
• During that time while 8 million lived in fuel poor homes, energy companies handed £145 billion in dividends to their shareholders.
Renationalise energy companies now. Abolish fuel poverty.

As the Prime Minister repeats far-right conspiracy falsehoods about Jimmy Savile to score political points, a reminder that he is on record as saying that investigating child sexual abuse is “spaffing money up the wall”.

My granddaughter just had her first baby, emergency C-section 10 weeks early. She had severe preeclampsia and imminent organ failure, baby not growing and heart failing. Blue-lighted 54 miles to another hospital because all NICU wards in the 4 hospitals in our area full.
