🚨 The government is preparing a new Elections Bill, promising to strengthen Britain's democracy.
But it currently fails to address the elephant in the room: the voting system.

The upcoming Elections Bill is a chan...

Gas companies are mugging us off. They're raking in high profits while our household bills go up, our pubs close down and our high streets hand on by a thread. I've had enough, haven't you? Let's make the UK Government reign in greedy gas for good. act.gp/3JHKh8p
Lower our energy bills!

It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested.
If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC.
That's sensible, proportionate policing.

A badger in Northumberland was found dead after being trapped in a snare, struggling in agony. This barbaric practice is still legal in England.
Scotland and Wales have banned it. England must follow suit. Sign the petition:

“Oxfam’s latest inequality report showed that the total wealth of UK billionaires increased by £35mn per day in 2024. Increasing taxes on the super-rich through a modest wealth tax could generate an estimated £24bn a year.”
Labour’s disability benefit cuts betray the vulnerable—fairer alternatives exist
Labour's £5bn disability benefit cuts hurt the most vulnerable. Fairer options, like a wealth tax, could fund support without harm

PIP exists because life costs more if you are disabled. Those costs won’t magically disappear because the government decides to squeeze eligibility - disabled people already face a disproportionately high risk of poverty. This plan will push even more disabled people into poverty - not into jobs
🚨Plans to cut welfare benefits for those with extreme disabilities & unfit to work will be CATASTROPHIC for some of the poorest & most vulnerable people in our society

Right now, foxes are being chased to exhaustion and torn apart by hounds—all in the name of ‘tradition.’
Boxing Day remains the biggest day of the year for the fox hunting community.
Please RT to raise awareness and follow us to help end this cruelty for good.
