92% of Reform's donations come from oil/gas interests.

At present we underpay staff in the ‘care’ sector and don’t fully reimburse their actual expenses eg petrol, insurance etc. The training ladder plateaus at a fairly low level as do the wages and we exploit women. Professional wages and advancement might eventually address the EXISTING shortage. 🙄
Yvette Cooper, "Our plans are about reducing lower skilled migration by introducing these new restrictions to the skilled worker visa"
"At the same time we are strengthening training here in the UK"

Astonishing evidence at the Covid Inquiry.
The Government repeatedly ignored offers from the Crick Institute to provide mass testing on a national scale.
Instead, the Government paid Deloitte consultants to project manage, not yet established, privately run labs.

[How can we have democracy while we have political parties ready to take ‘donations’ from rich corps in return for favourable policies?; how can we have democracy when you & I, and anyone who’s no one, haven’t power to change any of that, not even in elections - (all party willingness to be bought)]
It's time to bury divisive Party politics. It infantilises issues, creates battlegrounds where there should be science, evidence and deliberative debate. Above all, it ignores the vast majority of citizens.

It was wonderful to visit a rewilding project in Herefordshire with James and Oliver from Rewilding Britain. We heard about the landowner's thoughtful approach to creating space for nature, from bugs to birds, and the place was certainly teeming with wildlife (as well as being a working farm)!
