Great to read this nuanced article, by (((Scout Tzofiya Bolton))) 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ highlighting the challenges & potential benefits that #prison can offer, + a view of the problematic PD diagnosis from someone at the receiving end from imperfect services & clinicians. #mentalhealth theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Excellent article by Sammy Gecsoyler highlighting the cultural heritage of #StokeonTrent. Always good to hear about the positive things from the motherland. theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

Interesting article by rajeev syal and great to hear that James Timpson and Ministry of Justice are thinking about alternatives to custody to hopefully better address the factors that underpin offending by women. #prison #trauma #mentalhealth theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

Great to hear, finally, a more nuanced discussion about working with complexity and how only trying to fit individuals to services can lead to gaps that can lead to tragedies. Plus, a recognition that children's brains exist in (nearly in this case) adult bodies. #mentalhealth

Interesting article by Miriam Frankel. It highlights the fact that so much research around criminal justice is based on male samples. #prison #mentalhealth theguardian.com/science/2025/f…

So far, so good in #Alicante. February sunshine with amazing food from @apyritarestaurante and lovely scenery. Just need to keep pushing on through the next few days! #prayforNick instagram.com/p/DFzlsGOMSs1/…

Back to Leeds from Alicante and the welcome at LeedsBradfordAirport is a queue back out onto the tarmac. Quite a change from the smooth efficiency of Spanish airports. And it's not even the busy season yet!

Hey, Arrow Cars Leeds Why do you not pick up by the booking office at Leeds Airport and expect customers to have to walk to the short stay car park with the driver?

A great trip to #Alicante also included a visit to @macaalicante works by #EstherFerrer & #JoanMiro and some more delicious food from @tapenotrestaurante. Who knew there are specific forks for rice dishes?! And the odd piece of #SalvadorDali art! instagram.com/p/DF8Qz-VMX3X/…

Really great to visit The Swine Bistro at their new home in #Headingley #Leeds. Of course, the food was amazing, and you can see all the hard work that has gone into making this a must visit place to eat! instagram.com/p/DH0eeaBstRV/…
