I have NEVER seen so much media coverage of a protest EVER! Why is the farmers protest so newsworthy? Is it because media owners are also landowners?

🚨 Over 1.4 MILLION emergency food parcels were provided by food banks in our community in just 6 months. This is 69% higher than the same period 5 years ago. This can't go on and we refuse to stand by while so many of us are pushed to the brink, without enough money to live on.

I know you’re all far better than I and won’t have this angry Duolingo owl staring at you when you unlock your phone, but imagine if there were a version of this for social media where it changes if you’ve used it too much. That’s my BBC Dragons' Den idea. Copyright, me

While many will wake up on Christmas morning to open presents, 161,000 children will wake up homeless, with no place to call home. Homelessness is a political choice. It needs to be end. Thank you Amnesty UK
