Can we begin to imagine a world where the far right dissipate and their malicious shit-stirring fades away and we can try to solve the massive world problems with fairness and cooperation

308,770 people started an apprenticeship in 2025/26. That's 8.7% more than last year. Apprenticeship starts collapsed on the Tories’ watch and young people took the biggest hit. They've never dropped once under this Labour government.

A city centre should not function as a shortcut for motorists passing through. It should serve as the 'gezellige' living room of the city: a place where residents and tourists feel comfortable spending time, where children move freely, and where local businesses benefit from a vibrant public realm.

For as long as I live and have breath in my body I will have zero tolerance for those who dismiss the damage sexism does to our society. Don’t sit this out and let farage’s nonsense become the norm. Fight for a better future for all.
