“The government is trying to railroad these changes through Parliament - in fact - the clause was introduced for the first time in the House of Lords which means MPs have had no opportunity to properly examine, debate or vote on it - well absolute bollocks to that”

This would be something to celebrate if the Home Office was closing them to invest in community support schemes which provide better, more cost effective accommodation, but no. Instead they are ploughing more money into private contractors to trap people in camps.

We have contacted the Women and Equalities Committee, the Joint Human Rights Committee, and the Minister for Women and Equalities, Bridget Phillipson, to bring to their attention our complaint to the EHRC regarding the conduct of the anti-rights group Sex Matters.

Next week, MPs will vote on a bill to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests, turning a fundamental freedom into a privilege granted by the state. It must be opposed

The Labour government has told a parliamentary inquiry that clearance time for new personal independence payment (PIP) claims has not “exceeded” 16 weeks in more than three years, just as new departmental data has shown waits reach 20 weeks.

🚨The UK government is quietly dismantled NHS price controls to please Trump and Big Pharma.

Snuck out at 5pm before Easter weekend, with no parliamentary vote & no debate.

They're embarrassed. They should be. ⬇️

So clear in this article how the government causes homelessness 😡

-The benefits given don’t cover rent.

-The online systems too complex for people to use

-The healthcare doesn’t come soon enough

-You can’t claim benefits if you have no fixed abode.

NEW: Today I’m announcing plans to deliver at least one new late-night youth club in every London borough - the biggest investment in youth clubs ever made by a Mayor.

We’re bringing youth clubs back.

The US military has 22 sites in the UK.

Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran.

This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more.

The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.

We're on the verge of a genocidal, nuclear war that our supposed "ally" has said he's ready to unleash.

Would it be too much to ask for the Prime Minister to have something to say about it? Or do?

Suspend US bases on UK soil now.

Five United Nations experts have again written to the UK government to condemn Keir Starmer’s “unnecessary and disproportionate” attack on the rights and freedoms of UK citizens to speak freely and protest publicly against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Labour wants you to believe ADHD and other conditions are overdiagnosed to engineer consent for when they strip vulnerable people of benefits.
