Will your 'yes' be accompanied by a full commitment to fund palliative care services properly so that all people across the country have a real choice?

Water companies are pumping shit into our rivers & seas and charging us extra for the privilege. They’re in charge of our vital water security as temperatures hit record levels. Enough words from the Labour Government. Time for action. Nationalise. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Ignoring extreme heat and raging fires isn't just complacency. It's a dereliction of duty." Experts warn the climate crisis is already costing lives and urgent action from the Government is needed.

I heard it too on my car radio causing me to shout swearwords at it. And they just let that piece of populist nonsense run with no commentary or challenge! They just let him describe small boat crossings as an "invasion". Completely dehumanising. Absolutely disgraceful from the BBC.

Authenticity, honesty, compassion, fairness and humanity. Someone who does the right thing whether it benefits them or not. Someone who is open to challenge and prepared to change their mind in the light of new information.

Will he really be able to stand up for greater public control of essential utilities with water lobbyist James Purnell as his chief of staff?

What they taught in school: GDP up = good. What they left out: The atmosphere has a limit Soil can die Water runs out 8 billion people need a living planet, not just a growing economy

A healthy democracy relies on citizens being able to make informed choices. The level of net migration is 82% down on what it was five years ago, yet half of the public believe this number is going up. We need to take a serious look at the impact media are having on the spread of misinformation.

No election for my local area this time sadly. Reform is also hoovering up labour and undecided. So many people are at that self sabotaging F*k it stage and it's a very dangerous place to be.

A new report by the government’s own patient safety investigator reveals that far from being confined to winter, corridor care in England is now entirely normalised all year round. The government needs to stop dragging its feet and publish national data on the extent of this crisis to eradicate it.

You don’t need to be an RCN member or even work in nursing to support our campaigns. If you want to take action on issues like fair pay for nursing, corridor care, or safe staffing, then sign-up to become a campaign supporter: bit.ly/49hjF8u
