Public ownership of water, lower water bills than England's.
No university tuition fees for local students.
No prescription charges, abolished in 2011.
No two child benefit cap from March 2026.
England must follow.

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

We're launching an emergency petition to demand the UK stops arms sales, RAF flights, and military backing immediately.
For every 1,000 signatures, we’ll send a message straight to Keir Starmer. Let’s show him the public won’t stay silent while Gaza burns.
