A school holiday doesn't cause dysregulation. What does, is poverty, poor nutrition and parents having to work every hour under extreme stress just to keep a roof over their dysregulated childrens' heads. TEACHERS AND SCHOOLS CANNOT FIX EVERY FUCKING THING!

@charliersmith1 Those colours really suit your skin tone - great choice!

My mood is low at the moment, which means my self esteem isn’t great. But I’ve dressed up tonight and actually feel alright about myself, so wanted to share a photo 😊

@adeleparks Yes

@charliersmith1 What a huge positive, Charlie, both in terms of the fact you have been able to do this, but also that you have paid it forwards and will be supporting the many, many others who will benefit from your actions. Great way to transition from 2024 to 2025! 🥳

When I was on the psych ward, a mental health charity helped to save my life. Today I’m celebrating the fact that, since then, I’ve now officially raised over £50,000 for them! 😃

If Christmas is hard , If you lost someone dear, Just look in your heart And you'll know they're still here. The star in the sky , The light falling snow , The Robin outside , It seems like they know , If this is a time Where you're struggling through , Just do what you can .. For what matters is you. There's no need to be merry .. No need to be bright .. Just do what you can .. It will all be alright. Sending much love to anyone struggling this Christmas. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ +

@wmarybeard Please consider coming to The Old Woollen in Farsley! We're just outside Leeds and you'd be very welcome 🥰x

I have a series of gigs in UK in autumn 2025, from north to south. Do come along!

He summed it up like few could. 🫡

Priti Patel has been made Shadow Foreign Secretary, which is a great excuse to remember that time Ian Hislop hilariously destroyed her argument in favour of the death penalty.

@LMSlincsmusic Absolutely fabulous organisation and opportunity. If you think your young person might enjoy, I urge you to give it a go. My daughter had 9 very happy years as a member 🎶❤

The National Children's Choir of Great Britain is heading to LINCOLN on Saturday 9th November for an audition day! Anyone aged 9-19 who LOVES to sing are welcome to come for a friendly audition.

I've just been on @bbcmerseyside, talking about the significance of the support for Spellow Hub library after the riots. Thanks to all those authors pledging books for #ReadingNotRioting. Please remember to get your books packaged & sent out as soon as poss! RT

@beckyboopta Book shop, gallery, somewhere with lovely artisan shops. I quite enjoy a charity shop mooch, especially if they have books. A good garden centre can also be lovely, or a woodland walk. Enjoy!

@Mistyswoman I'm so sorry. Pet is such a small word for friends who fill our hearts with love. She looked a wonderful cat ❤

Childless cat lady. Saves universe from aliens.

WOW! Everyone should listen to this superb maiden speech from newly appointed Prisons, Parole & Probation Minister @JamesTCobbler in the House of Lords today What an absolutely inspired appointment this is👏👏👏

Imagine the media treatment of Kamala if she had five children by three different men. Then add in having sex with a porn star.

@theAliceRoberts @OldWoollen It was every bit as brilliant as your first visit to us in Farsley. Thanks for coming and we hope to see you again soon. If you ever fancy doing a talk the same day to our CAP secondary school historians (especially our children with SEND), let us know🤞❤!

I'm looking forward to returning to the brilliant venue that is the @OldWoollen to talk about my newest book CRYPT tomorrow evening! oldwoollen.seetickets.com/search/all/1
