A new exhibition + workshops, a collaboration between artist Fiona Cahill & Fréa Renewing Roots, will explore the hidden legacy of unmarried Irish women & their children who were sent from Britain to Ireland’s Mother & Baby Homes Sunny Bank Mills, Leeds ow.ly/ikh250YIOge

It is almost unbelievable that the government is on the brink of allowing the water companies to scam the British people *once again* by letting them get away with serious criminal offences without any actual plan & commitments for fixing illegal outfalls. I will use one of the most polluting outfalls on the Roding to illustrate why this is a terrible idea. The aptly named ‘Cascades’ combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharges almost every time it rains (even lightly) for more than a few hours. It discharges more than 400 hours per year, the majority of which hours of spilling are completely illegal. Worst of all, my testing of the outfall over the past year has shown that the volume (over 80 litres a second) and concentration (up to 50ppm ammonia) means this CSO is highly damaging, effectively turning the whole river into a sewer for over half a mile downstream. What will be the effect of letting Thames Water off fines for this illegal outfall? 🧵

This ends any debate over the reality of Israel's apartheid regime. The death penalty for one race only, enforced through military courts with a 99.7% conviction rate. Shame on those who deny apartheid. Shame on those who deny that West Bank settler terrorism and ethnic cleansing is Israeli government policy. Shame on the Labour government for not ending the sale of weapons to Israel 2.5 years into a genocide in Gaza.

Thank you to @pjcoogan of @Corks96FM for chatting to me about my work at @Project_Infant. Listen to it here: youtu.be/Rv1-C5c9Ohk / open.spotify.com/episode/0z2zef…

This is Apartheid. It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide. To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.

This is why Daily Mail journalists are going after my family now. The right wing propaganda machine will not work on the Green Party. We're ready to end Rip Off Britain, end the cost of living crisis and make hope normal again.

I had to use the tribunal process for my son Autistic children are traumatised every day by unsuitable conditions Parents -most often single mums like me, forced into home schooling. We desperately need this legal right

@breeda_murphy Mari did amazing work founding Justice for Magdalene’s (for her mother) and Adoption Rights Alliance.

For the first 18-mths of her life adoptee #MariSteed lived with her mum at #Bessboro #MotherAndBabyHome where she was vaccinated at least three times; 1st at 5 months old with an experimental shot to prevent diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus and polio without her mums consent💔

@breeda_murphy Interested to see what happens with the well there's one not far from the castlepollard babies that is never referred to -hse is talking about selling or redeveloping the whole site without recognising that there are burials spoken of outside the angels plot

Two years ago I took this photo from the #MemorialGarden on the site of the #Tuam #MotherAndBabyHome. In ODAIT’s most recent report we were informed 22 coffined sets of infant remains were found - see white tent area via link to report.⬇️ #TuamBabies odait.ie/news/technical…
