Itâs been a tough year-and-a-half for everyone, but one of the silver linings â if you can call it that â of the pandemic has been new-found time for reflection on political issues often swept under the carpet. The death toll from Covid-19 was proportionally higher among ethnic minorities, while those in low-income service jobs put themselves at risk to keep the country running and charities warned of a major uptick in reports of domestic abuse as those in abusive relationships had to remain indoors with their abusers. In short, the pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns exposed inequalities in British society that were previously open secrets in a way that was impossible to ignore. Many of us have been forced out of comfortable complacency.

A SCHOOLGIRL has designed a special mug to help families who have lost their homes in the flood. Eco campaigner Grace Woodward has drawn a picture of people holding hands and her image has been printed onto white mugs. The eight-year-old has already raised more than £70 for residents who had to be evacuated from Lakeside Caravan Park. Mum Marie said: Grace got really upset when she heard that people had lost their homes through the flood. We recently had to move because our landlord sold up and find somewhere else to live so she understands what this is like. She is very interested in the environment.
