The UK government’s devastating cuts to disability benefits will only make people poorer and more unwell. I’ve emailed my MP asking them to vote against these damaging cuts. Will you do the same?

Cutting health and disability benefits will push more people with mental health problems into poverty and make them more unwell. Ask your MP to vote against these devastating cuts.

Government policy is to grow the gambling industry.

That means more addiction and more suicide.

Time for a rethink.

Mass starvation. Ethnic cleansing. Genocide.

That is what our government is enabling — and it should be eternally ashamed.

There are three sleeps until Christmas and you’ve forgotten to buy something for your vinyl-loving relative so you’re just going to get them an Amazon voucher 👎

Don’t. Here’s a thread of links to gift vouchers you can buy now that can be spent on UK independent record shops’ websites

Private equity sharks cash in on foster care.

Just three made £40m profit from the plight of vulnerable children.

Foster carers paid £7.50 an hour, treated as self employed, denied workers' rights, rely on benefits.

Privatisation delivers exploitation.

X-ray Spex!! Despite the sleeve being in great condition, the record itself is bloody awful. i imagine it was once used as a frisbee. A beautiful looking shelf warmer until the vinyl Gods bless you with another.
