Grateful to have worked with great colleagues at @PauseOrg along with @Carolin15058218 and @bulawayojulie on this important report in @Child_Abuse_Rev about early death of mothers who have multiple children removed into care - we can, and should do better doi.org/10.1002/car.2892

We didn't have parties to "boost morale".
We didn't have quiz nights.
We didn't have champagne.
We watched our colleagues die.
We watched the bodies pile high in their thousands.
These lying, cheating, self-serving charlatans need to be flung out of office.
Use your vote. Vote.

Against the feasible and popular policy changes proposed by @plancommonsense in this brand new, essential book, the blueprint for a better future for Britain.
'Act now' is available now from all good bookshops & online.
