The report was released by the Trade Union Group of MPs, for which Lavery serves as chair and Sheridan as vice chair. The visit, they said, left them wondering "how human beings could endure under these conditions without crushing the human spirit."

via Facebook... Looking back on my day...cleaned my bathroom, and also shoved Steve's stuff into a corner under the sink. MOAR ROOM! Also, the pile of magazines he had put aside "to be read"? Gone. And then...this might sound painful, be warned...I put away the coffee pot. I really did. The electric tea kettle sits there, now.
