I always say any of our moggies can come back to the shelter any time, but this one was hard. 2.5 years after @lisybabe adopted our gorgeous visually-impaired ginger boy Biscuit, we found out last night that Lisa had passed away in her home.
We think Biscuit was alone around 1.5 weeks but he is OK, and heading back to Moggy Manor later this week. I'm so thankful to Lisa for all the love she gave Biscuit over their time together, I wish I could tell her that.

Biscuit has been found safe and well, and @holly will be taking care of him, as Lisa requested. Further details about funeral arrangements to follow

In Ontario the processing time for sickness benefits is 6+ months. The waiting time for euthanasia is just 3.
Some disabled people in Canada are 'choosing' death as a solution to social problems
@touretteshero looks at waiting times in the UK & compares them to assisted suicide
Touretteshero@touretteshero
In your reply you say: there’ll be “stringent safeguards to prevent undue influence or pressure” I’m keen to understand what these are & if they will address social/state/resource pressures like those experienced by sick & disabled Canadians? @TheNotDeadYetUK @thelizcarr 2/3

@JosieLong This directly affects my care. I get a finite pot of money from the council to pay my staff, I am the employer, either the council will have to up the ££ to cover the cost or I don't get my Care Act 'assessed needs' met. I'm not alone in this.

Reducing wayfinding for the purposes of advertising is abhorrent.
They tried it with "Burberry Street" and were rightly hounded.
I've asked @TfL to provide the risk assesment they completed with reference to the Equality Act.
I await the responce here:

Israel has detonated the equivalent of 5 and a half Hiroshima bombs in a strip of land the size of East London.
Suggesting Israel’s mass slaughter is caused by Hamas or anyone else is straightforward atrocity denial.
David Lammy@DavidLammy
Appalled by the Israeli Military strike on al-Tabeen school and the tragic loss of life. Hamas must stop endangering civilians. Israel must comply with International Humanitarian Law. We need an immediate ceasefire to protect civilians, free all hostages, and end restrictions on aid.

I can’t say often enough giving it to people who don’t need it was the price of ensuring everyone who did need it got it. Linking it to an inadequate benefit that 800,000 who could claim don’t claim is simply a mistake.

Interview with a women on #C4News who’s concerned because her son can’t get a council house but Asylum seekers get homes etc. it’s pointed out Asylum seekers can’t apply for council housing. Her response ‘I didn’t know that’ - thats the problem! Media & Gov must educate!!

A reminder that, as a Government Minister, Robert Jenrick ordered the Home Office to paint over cartoon murals at a centre for unaccompanied children seeking asylum.
The dehumanisation of migrants doesn't happen in a vacuum.
Own it, and apologise for the part you have played.

All violence must end. All violence must be called out. Now is the time to punish the guilty and restore order.

The arsonists last night destroyed a Citizens Advice Bureau.
For those outside the UK, that's a place where the British public, particularly low income or disadvantaged communities, get free legal advice and support.
Staff are devastated.

you’re missing something massive if your broad analysis of why this country is in the state it’s in right now doesn’t include the phrase “in the 2010s, councils saw their funding cut by half”

It seems as if some people think that the 'hostile environment' wasn't hostile enough. What a useful phrase that was.

The place set alight last night was Citizens Advice, Sunderland. Its manager this morning told me they’re devastated and now trying to figure out how to help the people they were supposed to see #sunderland
