6 months ago today Lord Oates raised the issue of mass lead poisoning of children in Kabwe, one of the world's most polluted towns, in the House of Lords

When will it repair the harm? When will the UK force it to?

32 African countries spend more on external debt than on healthcare.

25 spend more on debt than on education.

Debt justice means fair debt relief so countries can prioritise people over repayments.
