@Kwajotweneboa This just takes me right back to working with women fleeing abuse and challenging council decisions! Sadly not the worst, it’s so awful

5 more days to get this petition the response from Government that it requires. Sign and Share.... Or allow gardens like this to push Sparrows, Hedgehogs, Bees, Butterflies and countless others to extinction https://t.co/gbUZCveIX1

8) The landlord lobby does not care about our lives.

They do not see homes. Only assets.

They do not see people struggling to make ends meet. Only “problem tenants” and massive profits.

In solidarity with the @RepublicStaff arrested this morning…protest is our right in a democracy! #NotMyKing #AbolishMonarchy

[The Connection at St Martin's @homelesslondon]

Please share so people can find a safe space to spend #coronation day 💙

[Apsana Begum MP @ApsanaBegumMP]

The right to peaceful assembly and protest are fundamental principles of democracy.

They must be upheld, or else we find ourselves on a path with a totalitarian govt able to silence whoever they choose.

Today’s arrest of anti-monarchy protestors is therefore disturbing.

It’s time for a national conversation

@TrussellTrust Just read his book and watching the tv series, didn’t think I could love him more! Thank you Stanley!

Happy International Workers’ Day! ✊🏼🌹Solidarity to all those on strike and all those striving for a better life for the people! #MayDay

All of these were preventable, no-one has to be homeless and no-one should have to die whilst experiencing homelessness

Trussell Trust foodbanks have given out record-breaking parcels last year, one of the highest increases was in the East of England…every one of those a human story…it’s time to guarantee our essentials!!

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

🧵 Last year, food banks in our network distributed almost 3 million emergency food parcels.

❗ More than a million of these were for children.
❗ This is the most parcels our network have ever distributed in a year.
❗ It's a 120% increase compared to 5 years ago.

[Resident Doctors @BMAResidents]

The junior doctors operating on your appendix are paid just £66.55 between them. For a potentially life-saving procedure, which lasts about an hour.

Is this a fair price to put on high quality healthcare?

@Shelter This exact same thing happened to my friends: eviction date also their baby’s due date, it’s sickening; https://t.co/2ISvIXW0Wc

[Rhiannon Barrow @Rhi_Barrow]

As if there wasn’t enough VAWG…it’s really exacerbated also by #CostOfLiving crisis, and very much in my thoughts this #IWD2023

[Extinction Rebellion UK 🌍 @XRebellionUK]

In January 2020, a report by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature found that climate breakdown and environmental degradation are driving an increase in violence against women. As the crisis worsens, so too is the violence.

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

Universal Credit isn't providing enough to cover the cost of all the essentials.

This is pushing more people to food banks.

Join us and @jrf_uk to call on the government to guarantee that Universal Credit will at least cover the essentials we all need 👉 https://t.co/KnieA8vra1

Congratulations Julian! Rooting for you!

[Julian Vaughan @julian_vaughan_]

I am delighted to be on the shortlist to be the Labour Parliamentary candidate for #WelwynHatfield

Thank you for all your support. As Welwyn Hatfield's next Labour MP, I would work with everyone, for everyone and serve Welwyn Hatfield with empathy, compassion and competence.

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

🧵 Hunger isn’t about a lack of food, it’s about a lack of income.

We're pleased to see that the Government published guidance in the #HouseholdSupportFund today, stating that local councils should use cash grants alongside advice to support people facing financial hardship ⤵️

[Julian Vaughan @julian_vaughan_]

Proud to receive the endorsement of @unitetheunion for the #WelwynHatfield Labour candidate selection.

As a proud trade unionist, I will always stand up for workers in their fight for secure jobs and better pay and conditions. 1/2...
