You have to wonder. Amid all this chaos I read today that Whitehall have spent £500,000 on sleep apps that play bedtime stories etc. Yet schools are in disrepair and are even hungry. Distopian or what?

The view from the foodbank at which I volunteer is a bit scary. Each Monday, we have been accustomed to giving out about 50 parcels. That has crept up over the last couple of months to 80+ and last week, 106..
The shelves were bare when we left. The Tuesday team were making last minute plans to fill the spaces .
On the positive side, my local schools are doing a great job - happy children, good results, inclusive ethos. Thank you school staff.

Thinking about the various ways the infrastructure of this country is broken, I’m wondering does anything work in this country?
Railways? Buses? Health service?Social care ? police? immigration? education ? mental health ? housing?
or are we just wallowing in the shit on our beaches? Even food banks are struggling.
Not a good look.
