The British Army is still recruiting 16- and 17-year-olds, exposing them to abuse, harassment, and self-harm.

Today on World Children’s Day, we need to commit to protecting children, not militarising them.

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. We've had enough, haven't you? Let's make the UK Government reign in greedy gas for good. act.gp/3JHKh8p

Do we want militarised schools?🪖

UK condemns at the UN Israel’s “reckless expansion of its military operation” in Gaza and demands “urgent action”.

The Taliban have made life for Afghan women and girls intolerable. They have erased them from almost all spheres of life and systematically stripped away their rights and dignity. This latest ban is a further attempt to silence the voices of women.
