The 72 victims killed by the Grenfell Tower fire The names of those killed in the Grenfell Tower fire have been read out as the inquiry concludes - these are their stories.

Thinking of the 72 people who lost their lives and the many more affected by the completely avoidable #Grenfell disaster 8 years ago today. Every person mattered. Every person matters.

The ease with which members of the legal profession are misleading the public in regard to the For Women Scotland Judgment should be a serious pause around shifting norms of legal ethics.

I love this on #Barbie and constitutions and feminist analysis.

I can’t bear to hear the full speech. I just don’t understand why they’re choosing to self destruct.

Ten assaults a day on asylum seekers in Home Office care, figures reveal

These figures are appalling & without a doubt the real numbers are far higher. These contractors are paid a FORTUNE & they can’t even treat people decently. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Books.

When buying books for gifts this holiday season, please don't buy from Amazon. Please shop at your local independent bookstore/bookseller. Ask for recommendations. If they don't have a particular book in stock, ask them to order it.

Support creatives, local businesses, and your community.
