Call off the King’s visit to the US for the 250th anniversary of America's independence With the current political chaos in the US and Trump’s failure to adhere to international norms, and given his apparent obsession with the Monarchy, calling off this visit would send a powerful messag...

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

1.3 million ill people could lose PIP under Labour's disability benefit cuts Labour's benefit reforms could see thousands of people with cancer and more than 200,000 people with arthritis lose their PIP payments.

1.3m people with cancer, arthritis and more could lose PIP under Labour's benefit cuts.

We are all one accident/illness away from needing benefits. It is in our own interest to oppose.

It wasn't in the manifesto.

Mobilize your MP to oppose this cruel cut. Tax the rich.

As far as I understand, A2I do not have the expertise in house, only the ability to use SMB’s converter for example. Are they taking on all those experts who no longer work for RNIB?

Can you tell me what is happening to music transcription? My partner uses Braille music and I use large print. I did email Ivybridge but understandably I have not had a response. Music transcription is essential for us to enjoy our hobbies.

They’re in such a cult bubble that they can’t understand why so many free-thinking people voluntarily give of their time to oppose him.

The Government should not be cutting support for disabled people.

It should be making the wealthiest pay through a wealth tax.

Join tens of thousands of people and add your name to my call for a wealth tax, not disability cuts.

"How can you justify this?"

Stop British-made weapons being used in Gaza With each day that passes more lives are lost in this conflict, and weapons sold by the UK are fuelling the fire. British weapons should NOT be used to commit possible war crimes in Gaza.

I’ve just signed Greenpeace’s petition calling on the Foreign Secretary David Lammy to stop selling arms to Israel. British arms are fuelling the killing - can you join me and call for a ban?

The cuts proposed to disability support are a disgraceful attack on some of the poorest people in our society.

They need to be stopped — and together we can stop them. And we can win a Wealth Tax as a progressive alternative.
