I felt like a bit of beach time so we spent a night at Bridlington. It was lovely, even though a seagull mugged me for my doughnut 😅

It's taken Labour nearly two years to scrap the two child benefit cap keeping 500,000 children in poverty. Reform and Tory MPs plan to vote against it. Ending the scandal of child poverty harming 1/3rd of children demands more action- including free school meals for all.

A new report shows the US’s super-rich are burning through carbon emissions at 4,000 times the speed of the world’s poorest 10%. Some would have you believe climate action has to cost you money. They're lying. Tax the polluters. Tax the super-rich.
My son has made a #blackcat appreciation day poster. So, remember to appreciate it, or it may grin at you too...
