What we can do is take action each day, every way we can. Smile at neighbours whether or not we know them, use local shops, take public transport, call thanks to the bus driver, join a library or choir, walk in parks, pick up a piece of litter and bin it, volunteer at a charity. Chat to strangers.

Here’s the latest proof of just how cynical Reform UK are: their latest wheeze would constitute a whopping £34 billion tax loophole for the super-rich.
Reform UK is proposing a "Britannia card" that would let wealthy foreigners pay a £250k fee to move to the UK, and live here exempt from all tax on their foreign assets
What they don't say: it would cost the UK £34bn
