Here comes trouble. Hunched up blackcap on a pre-nesting rekkie…quietly taking-in the competition. Quite bolshy. Could upset the locals. Pencil H 8cm x W 6.5cm

Immigration is not the reason that you can’t get a hospital appointment, it’s the reason you can get one. Please repost for all the people who can’t seem to grasp that.

I could not agree with this more! I think SAFIYYAH'S WAR is the best new children's book I've read this year, and I think it deserves to be read in schools, libraries & homes around the country - by adults as well as children. Seriously brilliant writing from @HibaNoorKhan1!

Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .
