Some of the replies to this.🤦🏻‍♂️ Surely helping a young person with no parental support to get on in life makes it less likely they’ll need to rely on benefits in later life? If you disagree, that’s fine. Vote for someone else. The GM I lead will always back our care leavers! 💪🏻
Yesterday, Greater Manchester approved free travel passes up until the age of 25 for young people who have experienced care. Through devolution, important progressive steps continue to be made.

And yet another huge rainfall event in Europe caused by atmospheric blocking. Over 650mm rainfall in 48 hours over a wide area of France causing widespread flooding. #ClimateCrisis
Europe is dealing with yet another major flooding event as an "Omega Block" pattern dominates the continent. This time, southern France is at the epicenter, with observed 48-hour rainfall totals of over 650 mm (26 inches) being reported. Multiple Red warnings in force.

🧵 I've put together this thread to show just how much flooding has happened around the world, and this is only for the month of September—and it's not even over yet! Please share this because I don't think the message is getting out there. Türkiye... xitter.cf/volcaholic1/status/183…
