Today, I’m supporting the nationwide day of action calling on the richest to #PAYUP. Billionaire wealth has increased 1000% since the 1990s. There is no excuse to plunge thousands into poverty through cuts and underfunding. The money is there - time to tax it fairly.

Attend the demonstration on the 14th July, 15:45 outside Perceval House
Poster for the demonstration, text reads:
DEMONSTRATION TO

SAVE OUR CHILDREN'S CENTRES

JOIN US ON MAY 14!

TELL EALING COUNCIL TO STOP THESE CRUEL CUTS!

Ealing Council is planning to close down 13 children's centres in the borough. We need residents to speak out against this decision that will impact generations to come!

Whe : May 14, 2025 3:45 PM onwards

Where: Outside Perceval House, 14-16 Uxbridge Rd, London W5 2HLSecond side of poster, reads:
What's Happening?

Ealing Council is proposing to close or repurpose 13 of the borough's 25 children's centres, keeping only 12 open and delivering other services in community venues. While the council frames this as an effort to improve access and efficiency, the reality is a significant reduction in dedicated, localised support for families with young children.

Children's centres are vital spaces for early years development, parent support, health services, and safeguarding vulnerable families. The proposed changes risk widening inequalities and threaten the human rights of Ealing residents by making it harder for families - especially those already struggling - to get the help they need.

Why This Isn't Good Enough

Families may become unable to access support.

The most vulnerable families may fall through the cracks.

The proposals are driven partly by budget pressures and not community needs.

Beyond shocking. The Conservatives’ appalling protest-silencing laws must go! Paul Parker for the Quakers: “No-one has been arrested in a Quaker meeting house in living memory. This aggressive violation of our place of worship… clearly shows what happens when a society criminalises protest.”

UK, 2025: a country where police break into a place of worship and arrest those inside who are having a meeting and might be planning a non-violent action. The right to peaceful protest is an essential part of a healthy democracy. Governments who crack down on it are governments to be very wary of.

Absolutely right. Government is planning to strip vital support from a million disabled people – but they won’t even consider introducing a fair tax on the extremely wealthy, even though this would raise nearly 5 times more. They urgently needs to rebalance their priorities ⚖️
