Good ventilation and air filtration are critical tools in preventing respiratory infections.

The Government must assess current standards in hospitals and schools — and act where they fall short.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

The government admits profiteering is rife in children’s care and social care, yet it still wants private finance back in the NHS. This is an ideology where a few will profit while everyone else pays.

We are in despair after the Home Secretary’s announcement yesterday.
As an organisation helping couples and families survive the immigration system, we struggle to accept plans that make it easier to deport families and children.

The govt's proposed new asylum laws are impractical, ineffectual, and outright cruel. Aping the rhetoric of Reform won't fix the real issues in this country; it will only stir up more false divisions and endanger already vulnerable communities.

These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child & even worse - these changes were introduced by the government without consultation, warning and no evidence base
🚨This is not what I expect from a Labour government

THESE SHOCKING cuts are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child - the Adoption & Special Guardianship Support Fund is a lifeline for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England

It's clear our arms export licensing system is not fit for purpose; we need a full review, alongside an embargo on all arms exports to the UAE now.

Elon Musk is once again inciting violence on British streets because the government has taught him there are literally no consequences for doing so.

They even carry on using his far-right social network to promote government policy as he does it. The absence of backbone is *astounding*.

Horrifying piece that shows exactly how Labour minister is dancing to the tune of biggest profit-driven developers & failing to meet pledges on new homes & on affordability. Worse, they don’t even seem to care 👇

What is the point of building new homes, if they are:
a) too expensive for people to live in, and
b) don't have essential services like a GP surgery or a school nearby?

Very concerning that the Housing Secretary doesn't seem to understand that... or doesn't care.

Our politics and media have become viciously obsessed with immigration. Farage has made sure of it. And in that obsession, they’ve all lost sight of the people they target. Fellow human beings trying to live and belong somewhere.

It might be a hot topic, but the amount of misinformation & ignorance about immigration & visas is staggering. As a fmr 🇦🇺 Family Migration Officer & part of a 🇩🇪🇬🇧 family, I was particularly happy to find this video. It explains spouse migration. Because spouses 'can't just come & live in the UK'.

This is such positive, powerful, direct communication. The fact that this seems so remarkable and so rare speaks volumes about our failure to stand up to the fossil fuel lobby.
