My partner took my youngest son out shopping for stocking fillers and some small Christmas gifts. Yes this is a plastic fake Oscar but it's probably my favourite gift off all time.

My sons explanation when I opened it - 'It's because your a winner at being a dad' ❤️

Deeply concerned about the uptick in deaths related to synthetic opioids across U.K. I’ve asked Scottish Government several times to take this seriously.

It’s only going to get worse as global heroin supply dries up following the moratorium on Afghan poppy production.

My kids are away for Christmas this year with my ex so we are having our Christmas this weekend. My partner, my oldest & I are all unwell, I've just been hit with an energy bill to be paid before Christmas 6 x higher than a normal bill.

All is okay, remembering how lucky I am to…

Absolutely gutted to get this British Gas electric bill today.

SIX times more than any other bill I've had over last 2 years to be paid 7 days before CHRISTMAS without any warning.

Energy companies really shouldn't get away with treating people like they do 😢

Delighted to be quoted in this piece with my good friends Peter Krykant Marie Nougier

Great report from IDPC highlighting the failure of countries to reform drug policies despite the well evidenced horrors that are caused by punitive approaches.

Off course we will have presents to open at Christmas, my wee flat may not have stacks of expensive gifts but I'm now a full month off cigarettes, feel so much healthier already & I think one of the best gifts I can give these two this year.

Went to stay with my partner for a couple of nights & arrived home to a freshly painted living room & kitchen in my flat.

Mentioned to my mum that I was planning to paint & my step dad & mum did it while I was away as a surprise.

If anyone is in doubt, these temperatures will kill people rough sleeping.

Purely a political choice, not a single person needs to be outside never mind the thousands across the country, during Covid action was taken & this shows how easy a roof can be provided

Posted a few days ago abt being homeless at Christmas & now being lucky to decorate a small 4ft tree with my kids, not having much money or possessions but happy with my social housing flat.

Freezing temperatures across the UK

Worst time of year to be sleeping outside, I remember the dark days trying to keep warm in the freezing cold.

Give a hot drink, give some change, say hello.

If you see someone bedding down contact a local rough sleepers charity to check in.
