Hey guys! We could really do with some help bumping around our food bank fundraising as we’ve only raised £10 in the GFM for September. We feed kids when the government doesn’t by distributing packs of fresh fruit veg and meal making ingredients as well as gofund.me/4b297c14
Donate to SUN AUTUMN-WINTER FOOD AND BABY BANK, organized by SUN Baby Bank
Each school holidays we aim to curb the deficit left by the Welsh Labour government… SUN Baby Bank needs your support for SUN AUTUMN-WINTER FOOD AND BABY BANK

Earlier a tall woman with gorgeous forearm tattoos got onto a motorbike, loaded a little dog on her lap, and drove off through the winding streets. "Thank god I locked you down," said Dev. I look at them with this large, carefree man in a cowboy hat and think the same

Amazing to see a Rhondda community coming together to buy and transform their own beautiful community building.

Bailiffs are scum, we don't want them in our communities and we don't want them in our country.

We urge every one of our supporters to join ACORN, because this union is fighting to kick bailiff leeches out of Wales.

NEW CAMPAIGN 🚨

Right now, people are pushed into poverty when councils send in bailiffs for council tax debt.

But there’s another way.

Together, we can stop this. Together, we can have dignity not debt. Together, we can make Britain Bailiff Free👇

While international governments and NGOs still parrot lines about the 2 state solution, the Israeli state remains intent on ethnically cleansing and annexing all Palestinian territory.

This was at the launch of their E1 Settlement plan, which will cut the West Bank in half.

My sincere thanks to Yasemin Acar, crew member of the Freedom Flotilla ship Madleen, for her heartfelt contribution. She met Dee in prison, the morning after she and French MEP Rima Hassan were put in solitary confinement.

In July, we decided to try to meet Nikki and Sion's landlord again by visiting the address listed in their contract - which is in Newport. A group of us went with Nikki, who brought with her all the necessary documents and evidence to make it easy for the landlord. At last, we met the man! (5)

The entire thing about Savile was that he didn't need those kinds of tactics! His abuse was an open secret and he could pretty much do whatever he liked, wherever he liked, because of his institutional connections.

A Palestinian mother in Gaza: “My children have become skeletal, skin and bone. Even the slightest effort makes them dizzy. They are asking for food, and I have nothing to give. I can’t lie and say I’ll bring them something when I know I won’t be able to.”

"We leave you with some of the images of the man made famine in Gaza where more than 100 people, including children, have died of malnutrition. The Israeli blockade has plunged the strip into a starvation crisis rarely seen in modern history"

Never again, right?
