From tomorrow, UK household energy bills go up by the biggest rise in 4 years! Make sure to submit a meter reading before tomorrow to ensure your supplier doesn’t overcharge and consider switching to a fixed tariff if you can to avoid potential winter increases!

What if getting older or needing care didn’t mean worrying about whether you could afford it? Andy Burnham has announced plans for an NHS-style National Care Service, free at the point of use and funded by everyone. It could be a huge step towards fixing England’s broken social care system.

Today at the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool, we joined forces with Fairtrade Foundation, Kenyan coffee farmer Martin Kinyua, and drag star Tia Kofi to send a message to the PM: ‘wake up and smell the inequality in the coffee’ and make sure farmers get paid fairly for what they grow.

Don't want your private health records handed over to a foreign spy-tech corporation? You have a legal right to object to your health data being used in Palantir’s national database, and by law, NHS England must reply to every single submission.

Why won’t the Government share this secret climate change report when the findings show it’s a critical threat to national security? 👀

NEW: Without public funding, 63% of BBC TV and drama would disappear or go behind paywalls. Our new report with the Social Market Foundation reveals that ending public funding could wipe out 40% of the BBC’s £411m drama budget and reduce the £64m Arts & Music budget to just £3m.

We’re launching our biggest anti-Palantir tactic yet: a mass legal objection to keep spy-tech out of our NHS. You have a legal right to object to your health data being used in Palantir’s national database - and by law, NHS England must reply to every single submission. See below for the link.

As if forcing households to foot higher water bills for data centres guzzling millions of litres a day wasn't enough, Big Tech is now triggering a "tidal wave" of toxic forever chemicals.

💰Hoarded wealth is holding us all back. That's why we've sent Burnham a message in a bottle from 150,000 of you, with a treasure map to track it down. We can turn the UK around, but we have to end the failed austerity experiment & finally invest properly in our country.

Trump's America isn't going to protect us from reckless AI advances. And when the very scientists building AI are terrified of what comes next, allowing unregulated AI to run unchecked isn't progress, it's reckless.

If you support a cap on political donations, share this post. Over the weekend two crypto billionaires gave a combined £72 million to Reform UK, yet there is still no overall cap on individual donations. Share this post to help us demand the change we need to protect our democracy.

King Charles has previously said he’d be "devastated" when a shortage of birds threatened the traditional royal Boxing Day shoot at Sandringham. What he should be devastated by is the treatment of game birds in the UK.

75% of Reform’s quarterly funding came from a single £4 million donation by crypto donor Ben Delo who previously pleaded guilty to US money-laundering safeguard violations before being pardoned by Trump.

From holidaymakers in trouble to desperate families stranded at sea, the RNLI's mission for over 200 years has remained simple: saving lives. The small minority abusing RNLI heroes don’t represent us, so we need to make our support loud and clear.

Imagine risking your life to save someone at sea only to be called a traitor and “scum” when you get back to shore. That’s what happened to RNLI rescuers in Portsmouth on Sunday. These volunteers put their lives on the line to save people, whoever they are. They deserve our thanks, not abuse.

If you care about democracy, capping donations is common sense. If someone is writing a massive cheque, they’re usually expecting something in return, right? The PM previously backed a limit on political donations of around £500K, but it’s not included in legislation coming back to parliament today
