Two ex-party leaders make major demand for universal free childcare
Green Party MP Siân Berry and Mandu Reid, former leader of the Women’s Equality Party, have joined forces to call for universal free childcare to help struggling parents
www.mirror.co.uk
🚨Let's treat childcare like infrastructure.
In a new report written with the brilliant Mandu Reid, I am calling for Universal Free Childcare to be moved forward as serious policy.
This is a big vision and I hope others will come to share it.

Of course Maduro's repressive regime must be held accountable - but the US's unilateral attack on Venezuela is not about democracy. It is about oil imperialism.
The UK must stop pandering to Donald Trump and roundly condemn the illegal action taken by the US.

This leaves me wondering how many other countries are on Trump's "to invade" list for 2026, and whether the UK government will oppose any of them.

The US attack on Venezuela is an illegal act of aggression against a sovereign country (with lots of oil). Venezuela has become a more deeply repressive dictatorship & urgently needs democratic solution but this is unjustified & unjustifiable. Look forward to seeing swift UK Government condemnation.

Venezuela - a question I asked in the #HouseofLords last month.
Hoping we will get a stronger, clearer reaction this time from the UK government about the US attack, which cannot conceivably be legal under international law

Venezuela has about one-fifth of the world’s global oil reserves—an estimated 303 billion barrels—and the single largest-known mass of crude oil

Qesser is on day 46 of hunger strike. It should not take this long to get the help she needs.
