Passed 10,000 signatures: Invest in and support insulin production in the UK to ensure self-sufficiency
The UK is too reliant on insulin production from other countries. People with diabetes must be able to rest assured that the supply cannot be disrupted by global uncertainties. The UK must increase its own manufacture of insulin.

This two tier policing is disgraceful. It's as if there is one approach for people who helpfully film themselves committing crimes and another approach when there is insufficient evidence.

Burnham vows to seek new ‘long-term’ relationship with EU in emotional Labour conference speech
PM also confirms plan to end pensions triple lock to pay for national care service and pledges to put electoral reform in Labour’s manifesto * Key takeaways from Andy Burnham’s conference speech * UK politics live – latest updates Andy Burnham has promised a new “long-term” relationship with the EU in an emotional Labour conference speech in which he also confirmed the end of the pensions triple lock. In a deeply personal address, Burnham spoke through tears as he reflected on the death of his father just weeks ago, and used the experiences of his grandparents buying their own home, the cruelty of the care system and the pride of his family to set out how he wanted to take political risks to make fundamental change.

Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030. It will be replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension. Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage. Poverty awaits future retirees. £500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.

Would the triple lock be a discussion point if we had never left the EU? Or if tax loopholes had been plugged? Or if Mone & all these people like Richard Tice paid their damned taxes like I always have? I suspect not. Why not deal with that? If it’s not enough then look at us
