Great to see @DavidLammy sharing this important message. Our work with @homecomingproj is playing an important role in highlighting this global issue.
Making sure every child grows up in a safe and loving family environment is personal to me.
It is great to be working with @BarryKeoghan on reforming children’s social care around the world.
In 2022 I shared my goal to read 25 books in the year on here. It was:
- a beautiful way to start conversations
- a useful tool for accountability
- a grand source of recommendations
- a way to remember what I read
So, I’m doing it again in 2024!
Recommendations welcome 🙏
I probably didn’t enjoy this as much as Babel by @kuangrf - but I think that’s personal preference for fantasy rather than overall quality.

A fun, modern and smart book with a neat concept.
Listened to this in about 3 chunks with some long work journeys and it was good company.

Great to hear @Keir_Starmer mention care leavers in his speech and set out his commitment to tackle homelessness - 1 in 3 face homelessness within 2 years of leaving care so this is a really welcome step.
