NEW: City Hall will be funding free school meals for every primary school pupil in London. No child should go hungry in our city. The Government have refused to act, so I’m stepping up. theguardian.com/education/2023…

📣 Tomorrow our NHS services will be extremely busy due to strike action. We will continue to provide urgent and emergency care to those who need it. If your condition is non-life threatening, you can: 👉 use NHS 111 👉 speak to your GP 👉 visit your pharmacy

I think the sentence "The wind of change that carried my own parents across the globe in the 20th century was a mere gust compared to the hurricane that is coming" is one of the most disgusting sentences I've heard. And it's not just Braverman. Downing Street cleared that speech.
