Would you eat chicken washed in chlorine?
Trump is yet again pushing the UK to accept lower food and animal welfare standards in exchange for a tech deal. That means unsafe meat on our shelves and British farmers undercut.
We fought this before and won. Now we need to do it again.

2025 produced 237 new billionaires.
The global billionaire count jumped from 2,682 to 2,919 in just 12 months, many through inheritance, not hard work.
Inequality isn’t accidental, it’s part of a broken system.

Claire’s horse died in terror after fireworks were set off nearby.
That’s why she’s calling for a ban on the public sale of fireworks, not a total ban, but licensed displays only. Safer for animals, wildlife and people living with PTSD.

Boxing Day hunts could soon be a thing of the past with trail hunting now set to be banned.
Activists warn that foxes are still frequently mauled by dogs during trail hunts, and last season alone, nearly 1,600 incidents were reported across the UK.
This cruelty has gone on for too long.

Millions of homeowners are still paying a medieval-style fee just to live in their own home.
It’s called ground rent. No service. No value. Just money funnelled to wealthy landowners.
The Government promised to cap it, but they could be about to cave under pressure.

Trail hunting is set to be banned as part of a new animal welfare strategy.

Trump is reportedly pressuring the UK to scrap the Digital Services Tax: a 2% levy on the biggest tech giants.
It raises billions for public services and stops tax dodging. Giving in would mean handing tax breaks to trillion-dollar firms while people struggle.
The Government must hold the line.

Flu cases in hospitals are at the highest level ever for this time of year, and there’s no peak in sight.
With the NHS under huge pressure, what do you think the solution is? Are enough people getting their flu jabs? Should the Government hand out free flu jabs? Let us know what you think.

Lost Evri delivery? It's not just corporate incompetence - it's because of worker exploitation
Evri drivers earn as little as £7 an hour, while Evri rakes in nearly £120m in profit.
When drivers aren’t paid for failed deliveries, they’re pushed to cut corners and it’s customers who pay the price.

Southern Water have apologised and taken responsibility for the devastating pollution on Camber Sands - but the cost of the cleanup is still going to come from customers' bills.
Our bills have been inflated enough already. This money must come straight from profits, bonuses & shareholder dividends.
