I can remember the days when Labour stood with us against injustice.

Advocating for a weakened health service and pension insecurity on the back of inhumanity…

Those are great. Is there a book / exhibition / website?

Analysis: The US government has declared war on the very idea of climate change | CNN Politics Americans are used to whiplash in their climate policy. The US has been in and out and in and out again of the key Paris climate agreement over the past four presidencies.

Insurrection? What insurrection?

BREAKING: We’ve WON a historic case against the Rosebank & Jackdaw oil & gas fields. 🎉

👏 NO NEW OIL AND GAS! 📣

This is GAME-CHANGING.

And it’s ONLY been possible thanks to YEARS of fighting by THOUSANDS of climate campaigners! Power to the people. ✊

Freedom of speech does not extend to the uninculcated

A promise as good as the paper it isn’t written on is mere political posturing.

Disgraceful to backtrack on commitments to protect our ecosystem.

Grooming gangs are 'in every single part of our country', Jess Phillips says There have been inquiries into grooming gangs in several towns and cities in the UK but the safeguarding minister says it is happening everywhere.
