We must stop mega-donors from warping our democracy. A ban on annual donations over £5,000 would cut the influence of big donors on our politics and protect the interests of ordinary voters. Sign the petition secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/162623/...

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

US Private Health Insurance is great, you take people's money and then decide how little of it to spend on their healthcare. Then if people get angry over all the patients dying due to it you say 'but what about our profits' and it's only the algorithms (that we created).

The number one priority for NHS staff is patient safety, 365 days of the year. Having politicians tell us we need to prioritise safety without providing any extra resources is just rhetoric and empty words. What does Wes Streeting think we were prioritising before? www.gov.uk/government/n...

The personal estates of the King and the Prince of Wales are worth £1.8bn. Last year they made £50m profit. They are exempt from corporation and capital gains tax. This situation is unfair and costing the country millions in lost revenue. It must not continue. taxjustice.uk/blog/the-roy...
