Every personal attack.

Every attempt to distract or to divide.

It energises, strengthens and empowers our movement.

Lower bills. Tax billionaires. Join us.

This boy's smile genuinely brought a tear to my eye.

Let's build a world where there's more "just like me" conversations.

I'm fed up of the angry "not like me" ones.
Representation can change a life in a single moment. Every person deserves to feel seen, celebrated, & included exactly as they are. This is why adverts show all of us - as a sign for all those who feel excluded that they're us, & a reminder for all those that exclude.

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home.

I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

The only place profit from water should be going is back into the system to make improvements and lower prices
PR Hype.

Water firms in England could face harsher sewage fines.

Firms still pay dividends, mega exec pay

Fines have been virtually abolished. Amounts handed back to firms for environmental improvements. They displace investment, improve balance sheet.

Must remove the profit motive. Nationalise.
