Green group leader @cllremmaedwards.bsky.social: "The so-called “settlement” from the government assumes councils like Bristol will increase council tax by up to five per cent for the next three years. That is not proper funding of local government. That is shifting the burden onto local taxpayers."

Economic Growth at Any Cost Fails Us All

In this week's column I seek to explain Keir Starmer's flat refusal to change our electoral system, even though its gross unfairness could put Reform UK in power on <30% of the vote. The reasons, I believe, are deeply cynical and disturbing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
If Reform ever wins power in Westminster, it will be because of Labour’s cowardice | George Monbiot
Starmer could improve our unfair electoral system to stop the hard right, but he won’t. All the party has left are threats about ‘splitting the vote’, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Once a carer, always a carer. Care is vital - yet not paid or valued. Disabled people are disproportionately vulnerable in hospitals. It's scandalous that carers allowance is withdrawn after 28 days in hospital. As if we haven't got enough on our plates. petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1...

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided. When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid. The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe. It's time for a rethink.
I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
Thousands left without water in the middle of winter in the UK. And those same people are now facing a massive bill hike. Privatised water is a scam. I've written to the Prime Minister asking why he won't end this rip off and bring failing South East Water into public hands.

We’ve sent an open letter to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to tell him that the the government must act urgently to prevent increasing numbers of women being driven into sex work by poverty and financial need. (1/6)
We were pleased to speak to Lauren recently for this important article on how the criminalisation of sex workers traps them in sex work, giving them a criminal record which makes it much more difficult to get another job. The government must take urgent action to ban prostitutes’ cautions.
