If you have just turned 18 or have never voted, please get registered to vote. We need young people to vote for a better future. We will have a general election soon!
We campaign for inclusive education across the UK to reflect its growing diversity. State schools should not be able to discriminate, segregate, or indoctrinate children on the basis of religion. Want to help us? Donate what you can to our fundraiser. https://t.co/2ZZOqeu3Yn
The problem with politics is that there are no competence checks. Does the health secretary know enough about health? Does the Chancellor know enough about the economy? Does the PM know enough about anything? The UK would do better if we knew our leaders knew what they were doing
@lewis_goodall And perhaps this time the person chosen to be chancellor should have a high level of competence in mathematics and the grace to seek out expert advice from a range of sources and give it due consideration before doing anything
The Taliban have locked all female students of Balkh University in Afghanistan in their dormitories today to prevent them from protesting for their rights.
The right to protest is a human right.
We must show the Taliban that the world is watching.
Peace is the only practical pathway to a better world for all.
Yet in too many places we are failing the cause of peace.
As we mark #PeaceDay, I urge everyone to wage peace:
Peace for our planet & for those millions of people today living through the horrors of war.
@CathNoakes @tiredpsych Don't assume there is a shop nearby, and don't assume it will be open especially on an evening, and don't assume it will have a range of whatever you need to purchase.
As a Geriatrician and a fellow human, what an example of positive ageing & and what a way to go; at home, with family, comfortably, quickly and enjoying life up until your final days.
What a woman.
Remember this when you vote in the next General Election.
On the day rocketing energy prices frighten millions of people as to how they will survive this winter, the response from the Conservative Govt is silence. No Minister on the mornings media.
And vote them out.
My eldest passed all his #gcses2022 🥳 4s and 5s in all subjects and we are buzzing- he worked so hard for those results. We shouldn't just celebrate the top grades of 8s and 9s- my Son did his utmost best and we are incredibly proud #gcseresultsday2022#gcseresults
@IoloWilliams2 Ban portable bbq's, fireworks, Chinese lanterns and any other one off use sources of fire. Perhaps also time to rethink 5th November celebrations, outdated and irrelevant in 21st century. Let's find better safer ways to have fun.
At this moment of maximum danger for our world, now is the time to recommit to the @UN Charter & the ideals it represents.
There is no greater solution to fulfil the Charter’s promise than to replace division with dialogue & diplomacy.
Humanity’s future is in our hands.
'Humanism is a way of thinking & living that emphasises the agency of human beings. Humanism stresses the fact that we are capable of changing the world. We have the power to make a difference in our lives... without recourse to some outside force.' @LeoIgwe#HumanistVoices
Martin is right and in fact the arguments for children’s homes and foster care are even stronger than for water and rail. We shouldn’t be allowing private equity funds to cream profit out of the care of vulnerable children.
The presence of 26 bishops from 1 denomination of 1 religion, having the automatic right to sit, speak, & vote in Parliament is unfair& unjustified. Bishops should be removed from the Lords so that it can better reflect the diverse society we are today.

As we face the climate crisis, nations continue to play the blame game instead of taking responsibility for our collective future.
We cannot continue this way.
We must rebuild trust and come together -- to keep 1.5 degrees alive and to build climate-resilient communities.
