Here in the UK I have volunteered at an ‘asylum hotel’ for the last 2 years. I have never felt frightened or at risk when I enter. I take extra foods as just short of £10 can’t feed anyone in this country. I take donated clothes & books. I offer health advice and a listening ear.

UK Govt’s new powers for water customers are a ‘stitch-up’. Toothless consumer panels can't check abuses, sewage dumping, profiteering or bonanza for shareholders/execs. Need real change, not gimmicks. End privatisation. Let customers/employees elect directors, vote on exec pay.k

The rot at FIFA has gone too far. Under Infantino, political greed has completely broken the game we love. We can't just watch from the sidelines anymore, the FA and our European partners need to walk away and build a fair, clean alternative from scratch. It’s time to move on.

Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off April’s state visit to the US. A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.
