It’s clear that the inequality in the country is becoming increasingly pronounced.
Without rebalancing the system, the rich will only get richer and the rest of us poorer.
It’s time to tax the 1% properly, so the 99% can survive.

My first cold spell with a heat pump and I can honestly say the hype isn't BS.
House is always warm, even when I have to pee at 4AM.
Solar panels were providing 100% of electricity for heating at 10AM this morning.

Severe flooding like we've seen across Monmouthshire will only become more frequent as climate breakdown progresses - building resilience could not be more important.
By investing in #RiverFriendlyFarming, govt can help farmers manage floodwater and prevent disastrous outcomes.

Studies repeatedly show that syringe services programs (which I used in the 80s/90s) reduce discarded needles in the community and do not increase crime. They can halve new HIV and hepatitis C cases, increase entry into addiction treatment fivefold, and save taxpayer money.

“Christian” means “Christ-like.”
Right now, every pastor and parent should be saying, “Act like Jesus not like Trump.”
