If the people who make critical decisions about the infrastructure of our country can't even sort out their own workplace, what hope do schools, hospitals and trains have?
There's this insane level of paralysis about being seen to do the wrong thing, which will only end with a crisis.

What? No. Religion in schools should be taught about from an objective and broad view, giving children the chance to think for themselves about what they believe. Learning about different religions or beliefs is not 'brainwashing'. What is closer to indoctrination is insisting on Christian-only RE.

Brilliant news! They should do councils next and then Parliament. Our current voting system completely fails to represent the preferences of the people, which should be the most basic test of any system.

The move reverses changes made by the last Conservative Government, which was accused of seeking to “stitch up” elections in its own favour

Cars are getting 1cm wider every two years. That may not sound much, but over time it adds up, and they're showing no signs of slowing down 😬
That's #carspreading. Our new campaign is calling on city leaders to make parking policies fairer by varying costs based on the size of a car.

PIP (personal independence payment) is NOT an out of work benefit. It is there to support the independence of a person. Often, it is money that makes work accessible for a person with disabilities.
And sometimes it just makes things easier, as it is expensive to be disabled.
