Today marks 54 years since the 1967 Abortion Act came into force. Since then, there have been well over 9 million UK abortions. Use this online tool to write to your MP, to remind them of the many lives lost & the women who have been affected by abortion.

I've made a contribution and would urge any constituent in a position to do so to donate what they can to the @decappeal Ukraine appeal.

Support families fleeing Putin's war of domination.

AWPugin’s 3rd most important London commission was @StPetersSE18. Photo of the Lady Chapel today. So many @Pugin_awn elements are here. His designs, Hardman stained glass, Minton tiles. Built 1850 before the new Palace of Westminster.

[Royal Borough of Greenwich @Royal_Greenwich]

It’s incredible to see the building transformation @woolwich_works into this new exciting hub for the whole community to enjoy. We’re taking a minute to be thankful that these revived buildings (two saved from the @HistoricEngland At Risk Register) have exciting times ahead ✨
