Did you know a barrister is facing prison just for reminding a jury they have the right to vote with their conscience? This historic right has existed since 1670. We can't let it be silenced in court now. Add your name to help protect Britain's juries: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

Today, OPFS joins @jrf-uk.bsky.social and partners across Scotland to call for a stronger Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan. Around 30% of single parent families live with the devastating consequences of child poverty, something we see every day through the families we support.

The Child Poverty (Scotland) Act – time to go further?

Scottish Parliament set a high bar with the Child Poverty (Scotland) Act — but the Act's final delivery plan in March, by its own admission, doesn't go far enough.
