🚨 URGENT: ActionAid has launched an emergency appeal to respond to the devastating floods in Bangladesh, which have affected more than 5.8m people. Thousands of families have lost their homes and seen their crops and livelihoods washed away.
Our teams are delivering life-saving supplies to stranded families, including cooked food, water purification tablets and dignity kits. We still need to do more - please make a donation and help us reach more families: bit.ly/3AIZeCH

The Government likes to talk a big game on UK international climate finance, but the reality is they’re just resorting to more desperate and underhand ways to fudge the numbers. This will further erode global trust in the UK both as a climate leader and as a country of its word.

"At least half of the names I'm about to read out out could have been saved." This is heartbreaking & utterly unacceptable. Thank you @jessphillips for continuously speaking out to help women and children. We must see systemic change to achieve a society where all women are safe.

Thanks to @BBCr4today @Marthakearney for covering the important issue of women’s access to drug treatment services.
Just a short segment on such an important topic so I’ve broken this down a bit more over on my LinkedIn -

📻💬 "One of the big things is that women who use drugs and alcohol typically do so in quite different ways to men so they're more likely to have co-occurring issues."

Finding Tracy’s mythical police and getting them on the beat would help. Why has West Yorkshire seen bigger reductions in police than other areas?
Certainly in Rothwell that loss if felt, and I am sure it is across Leeds. – at Yorkshire and The Humber, England
