Is politics for profit or the people? “The public won’t forgive us [Labour] if we miss this chance” - even those within Labour can see it's shocking that Burnham is rowing back on another key promise. Democracy should not be for sale www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Water companies are trying to hike your water bills AGAIN. Privatisation is not affordable. Andy Burnham must block these bill hikes. Let the water companies that can't survive without hiking our bills GO BUST. Then we take them into public hands for nothing.

We have lots of my favourite ‘weed’ , nipplewort, this year. Unfortunately it is in the back (attempted) tidy garden. Not the wild front. Some seed collecting required I think.

A leaflet from my local Conservative candidate has a story about supporting the high street, accompanied with an AI picture which erases all the existing businesses and shows two cars completely blocking the pavement. We don't need that sort of support, thanks.
AI image of a shopping street. All the shops are incorrect and, on the right, two cars are completely blocking the pavement.

I just watched this new animation for schools by #HumanistsUK. When it comes to religion or belief, the state should treat and protect everyone equally. In a diverse society, secularism helps make that possible. Find out more about #secularism today! understandinghumanism.org.uk/secularism/

What is secularism?
Made for schools and families, the animation introduces secularism in clear terms as a practical way of organising society that people with different worldviews can share.
