📣 Ed Miliband: “The choices we make as a country have influenced the course of global action.”

🌍 Now is the time for the UK to lead again.

👉 Will the Government back the Climate and Nature Bill and deliver the leadership scientists demand?

🚨 “The government failing to debate the Climate and Nature Bill on 11 July is a betrayal. Keir Starmer, you said in your manifesto that the climate-nature crisis is “the greatest long‑term global challenge that we face”. Now is the time to deliver the legislation required to tackle it.” #CANBill
✊ “Give the CAN Bill time in Parliament to be debated on, voted on and passed into law.”

🚾 Bladder problems like frequent/urgent toilet trips - are not “just a bit inconvenient” or an inevitable part of ageing.

One of the main messages is to start talking about this more - stuff the taboo and start the conversation☺️

📝 To mark one year in Government, constituents across the UK are calling for Keir Starmer to deliver #REALChange — and to give the Climate and Nature Bill an emergency debate and vote in Parliament.

💚 Thank you to everyone who is taking part.

The vote share needed to win a majority in Parliament is getting lower and lower.

Whether it's Labour, the Tories or Reform: full control of our laws, our public services and foreign policy should never be in the hands of someone most people don't support.

We need #PRnow.

What's happened since?

A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.
