Saar Wilf thinks the mRNA COVID vaccines have saved more lives than they've killed in the US. I disagree. We are each risking $1M. Game on!

This is a failure of democracy. 82% of the public want water back into public ownership, but we weren’t part of the decision. Now we’re stuck bailing water companies out for decades of recklessness. We need a new water system where everyone has a say. www.theguardian.com/money/2024/d...

Not content with throwing £22bn of taxpayers' money at an unproven technology which allows fossil fuel companies to carry on as usual, the Govt is underwriting their legal costs The Govt has to start standing up to the fossil fuel companies to avert climate breakdown @data.ft.com

Most Leave voters now back freedom of movement for single market access, an ECFR poll finds. Labour must stop ignoring this shift in public opinion and prioritise closer EU relations.

Analysis, from the RCN, shows 32,000 student nurses could leave their courses by 2029 due to financial strain and poor pay prospects. The Government must act now to support our future nurses and the NHS.

At the top, smaller text says, 'Real Hope. Real Change.' The Green Party logo appears at the bottom of the image."

If you were offered a job at £2.94 an hour would you take it? Didn't think so Thats what carers get so long as they work a minimum of 35 hours a week. If, as I do, they work over 100 hours they dont get a penny more + it gets deducted from other benefits petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Petition: Stop deducting carer's allowance from income based welfare
Currently carer's allowance affects income based welfare. Carer's allowance is deducted from income based welfare like universal credit and Income based ESA.

I feel like I know too much. And I only know so little. Grasping the systemic abuse pwME are facing and have faced is mind blowing and hard to live with. I’d almost rather go to a time where I can lay in my bed with severe illness and pretend the world cares, the system cares, oh how naïve I was…
