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.

I am desperate to see the back of this lying, conniving, self-serving shower, but not overly optimistic that things will be that different. Perhaps Act Now provides something of a blueprint of how things could be different.

Ouch. After trying repeatedly to dodge giving an answer, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar admits on Sunday Show that his family's wholesale business (in which he no longer has shares) does not pay all its workers the real living wage despite his party's plan to improve it
