Hard to fathom why anyone would oppose restrictions on hormone disrupting chemicals linked to 'hormonal cancers, obesity + diabetes, impacts on the immune + neurological systems + early puberty' in children's toys. Will the UK match the EU + ban these chemicals in toys, teethers + sippy cups?
📮 In October, two letters were sent to the UK Government urging it to align with the EU’s updated toy regulation.
🧸 Children in the UK deserve the same protections from harmful chemicals as children in the EU.

“We have become the destination of choice in Europe, “clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world.” This is a lie. There were more than twice as many asylum claims in Germany last year, and about 1.5 times as many in Italy, Spain and France

“You cannot allow the richest people in your society to take a bigger and a bigger and a bigger share in economies with almost no growth and not expect ordinary families to get poorer”
Gary makes it simple. Without a reset on the gap between the wealthy and the rest of us things will only get worse

Nevermind the responsibility of politicians. What about the responsibility of journalists, which seems to be non-existent in this country.

"Golden treatment..."
What the article doesn't tell you.
Asylum seekers in England get £49.18 pw per person in self-catered accommodation. If it includes meals, it's £9.95. £5.25 pw more for pregnant mothers and children aged 1-3, and £9.50 pw for babies under 1.
Yep, I'd risk my life for that. 🙄

A key part that made this a national event was, for once, showing our national team playing on free-to-air TV (the BBC this time).
A short term arrangement for Scotland matches. But a permanent one for England. And yet BBC Scotland broadcasts mostly... nothing.

New nuclear “economic and environmental folly” that would lead to more expensive bills.

A UK Government that doesn’t care about Scotland - Simple - Front page in the Scotsman says it all -
No support from UK govt for Mossmorran industrial plant.
UK govt has known about this since May & done little.
Plenty of support for British Steel in England, but once again nothing for Scotland.

Jacob Rees-Mogg like Rishi Sunak has registered all his assets in tax havens, because they don't 'belong' to him in the UK they aren't taxed here.
So his tax bill is negligible, he doesn't need to leave to dodge tax.
This con needs to be stopped.
