Visited a family who have been living in temporary accommodation in Newham since 2018.

The family of 7 all sleep in one room on blow-up beds and sofas because black mould has infested every single room upstairs and is terrifying their kids, who think their house is cursed.

To any person asking nurses why they’re ‘not thinking about the patients’, where have you been for the past 12 years?

Patients suffer because of the actions of this government, and staff absorb that pressure every single day while being hugely underpaid.

If you’ve not read a Tortoise quarterly before I highly recommend getting your hands on a few.
They are beautiful booklets which feature exceptional contributors, photo pieces and cartoons and make excellent gifts.
