Putting the Heat in Buildings Bill on ice is a big mistake. Ministers should turn up the heat, not freeze progress on warmer homes/green jobs. Fair taxes can spread out costs & make the transition easier for everyone, with free upgrades for people on low incomes ⬇️

"The Refugee Council said that the move will potentially bar 71,000 people who have successfully applied for asylum from claiming UK citizenship."
Absolutely appalling. This is a breach of the refugee convention and must be opposed.

Standing in solidarity, is more than gesture—it’s a commitment to stand together even when it doesn't directly affect us. An acknowledgment of shared humanity & when one is hurting we all feel it.
It's refusing to ignore injustice because silence is complicity.
