It’s been a slog of a week, but it could be worse

I could be sending out press releases about a bowel-movement based dating app called Cheek2Cheek

I *shit* you not Image
'Will allow users to upload specifics about their bowel movements, bathroom habits and specifics in regards to their butt/gut health'

Great
Guess they are hoping it can trump Tinder
Why didn't they go with 'Defac-dating'

In a hospital in Liverpool, people are lying across the floor as they wait for a bed on one of the hospital's wards. One woman has been in Accident & Emergency (A&E) for 30 hours, she will wait another 17 in this packed room.

A grim thread which shows NHS winter crisis is here Image
Laura Jones was shocked at what she saw when she walked into the A&E department of the Royal Liverpool Hospital earlier this month. She had been suffering with back pains and her GP, suspecting a water infection, sent her to the emergency room at the city centre hospital.
"It was absolutely chocka in there," explains the 37-year-old. "There were people sitting on the floor outside and others lying asleep on the floor inside." Ms Jones would experience a huge wait in these surroundings, waiting for nearly 30 hours before being taken to another unit

I’ve been covering Liverpool’s homelessness crisis for a while now and I’ve heard so many heartbreaking stories. This week I heard some tales of hope and community amongst the heartache.

A 🧵 that hopefully shows the resilience and kindness of people
There are shockingly over 1,000 homeless households now living in emergency accommodation in Liverpool - with 14,000 people on a waiting list for housing, they could all be waiting for a long time

Many of these people are living in hotels and being moved around each week
But in the Wavertree area of Liverpool there is a centre doing things a little differently.

An accommodation site run by Vitality Homes is aiming to foster a sense of community between those who have found themselves homeless and in crisis

You wouldn’t really know it from this general election campaign, but there is a huge hidden homelessness crisis in this country, with huge numbers of people stuck in hotels and temporary shelters, desperately hoping for a place to call home.

This week I met some of them 🧵
It is a blisteringly hot day in Liverpool and in the front garden of a large city hotel, a group of women are sitting and talking
At first glance this may look like a pleasant scene. While the group of mothers sit and converse, their children - ranging from crawling babies to 11-year-olds are playing on the neat patch of grass in front of the hotel. The reality is heartbreaking.

A frustrating 🧵

We heard from foodbank charity the Trussell Trust, who announced that they have handed out a record number of emergency food parcels in the last year. In total, 3,121,404 parcels had been distributed in the 12 months up to the end of March. over a third went to children.
