I just signed the petition calling on the UK Government to pay victims of the Horizon scandal the compensation they deserve. Will you sign too? https://t.co/pPn7FEINIO via @38degrees

This is appalling. From April the Government thinks we should pay even more for NHS dentistry. The British Dentist Association and I think this is outrageous. Agree? Sign the petition! https://t.co/dnNpdzl6RF via @38degrees

Water companies have dumped BILLIONS OF LITRES of raw sewage into our rivers and seas. Banning their bonuses isn’t enough. Tell political leaders: fine them in shares, then renationalise water companies who don’t clean up their act. https://t.co/ZxQG8TRvnd

I just signed this @friends_earth open letter calling for the prime minister not to be a climate-promise breaker.
Join me and add your name to the letter before its delivered to Rishi Sunak this COP ⏰👇 https://t.co/OXiDPPy7jA

Enough is enough. Suella Braverman's article in the Times is dangerous, divisive, and shows she's unfit for office. @RishiSunak must sack her now. Agree? Add your name: https://t.co/9azDLe2LX8

@Ofgem is trying to raise OUR bills to bail out energy companies, rather than helping ordinary people. Ofgem must scrap these plans NOW - agree? Sign the petition now: https://t.co/mULYCpwq7E

Rishi Sunak won't hand over Whatsapp messages from during the pandemic to the Covid inquiry. It's a disgrace - and we deserve better from those leading us. Join me and demand that he releases the evidence now! https://t.co/W0CBGiQfUw

We can’t risk a repeat of the prepayment meter scandal this winter. Ofgem must do its job properly and protect ALL households from forced installation of prepayment meters! Can you join me and sign this petition? https://t.co/JENsTPi0hV

I’ve asked my MP to stand up to fossil fuel companies and support the amendment against the climate-wrecking Energy Charter Treaty. #ExitECT

I just signed the @GambleWithLives petition to urge UK broadcasters, newspapers and online media outlets to follow @guardian lead and ban gambling ads. Will you sign too? https://t.co/UC89fK7liV via @38degrees

[John Illingworth @johnillo]

73% percent. That's how much @SouthernWater could raise OUR bills, to clean up THEIR mess. And where one water company goes, you can bet the rest will follow. Sign the petition now & tell companies: no price hikes while you pay out bonuses & dividends: https://t.co/ncHAsL176O

[John Illingworth @johnillo]

I just signed the petition to stop @RishiSunak using taxpayers' money on an ad campaign to promote the Conservative Party’s “five priorities”. Experts say the ads are "too political" & should be blocked. Will you join me & sign too? https://t.co/akM9ulPewH via @38degrees

West Yorkshire's buses are just not working. They're confusing, expensive & late, and they could be world class.

@WestYorkshireCA bus passengers want and need better, publicly controlled buses! #OurBuses

Enough is enough. The public should decide who enters the House of Lords and who has to leave. Sign @electoralreform's call to replace the unelected Lords with a smaller elected chamber. https://t.co/g5Q6p9PIUE

The Government wants to extend voter ID laws - despite admitting they were an attempt to manipulate elections. It’s a stitch up. We say: DITCH VOTER ID before the next General Election. #ProtectOurVote https://t.co/OQruveCXKn
