After years of sewage spills, leaks, and record executive pay, families can't be expected to foot the bill for their failure.

If your water company’s on this list, head to their latest post and tell them: Stop punishing customers for your failures. Don’t raise our bills!

Millions of us are about to be hit with even higher water bills as Anglian, Northumbrian, Southern, Wessex and South East water companies pushed regulators to let them hike prices even further than already agreed.

We can’t defeat hate with more hate, only with love, togetherness and action.

If we don’t stand together, hate will win.

The attack in Heaton Park was a vile and heinous attack on our Jewish neighbours. The arson attack on a mosque in Sussex was a hate-fuelled attack on our Muslim neighbours.

We want to believe that "this isn't who we are", but we have to stand up and show that the vast majority don't want division.

Don’t cut taxes for US tech billionaires!

Trump and the big tech CEOs are coming to the UK to pressure our government into SLASHING their tax. Tax that could be spent on training over 100,000 NHS nurses. If you want our government to stand…

Trump and the tech billionaires want cuts, but Tax Justice has worked out we’d stand to lose £5 BILLION in tax.

Hands up who’d prefer to see that money spent on our NHS. 🙋

A World Record Swim - The 3 Lakes

This documentary follows my attempt to complete a challenge inspired by the famous Three Peaks Challenge – but with an open-water twist. Instead of climbing mountains, I set out to swim 55km across…

When world bronze medallist Hector Pardoe set out to swim the UK’s three biggest lakes, the greatest danger wasn’t the cold or distance; it was pollution.

After swimming 55km through sewage-tainted water, he’s using his platform to call for change. When we swim together, our current is stronger.

While UK billionaires get £35 million richer every day, our public services continue to crumble. It’s time the ultra-rich paid their fair share.

Breaking the rules could mean prison. This is an attack on our right to be heard - and it’s happening right now.

We have to stop these terrifying new anti-protest powers before it’s too late.

Don’t crush our right to protest!

The right to protest is the heartbeat of democracy. It lets us speak out, challenge injustice, and hold those in power accountable. The Government’s plan would give police sweeping powers to ban…

The Government is rushing through new laws that could make protests almost impossible - banning “repeated protests”, capping how long they can last, limiting how many people can attend, and even forcing them to move.

An arson attack on a mosque in East Sussex is being investigated as a hate crime.

While no one was physically hurt, this appalling act has left many feeling less safe. We stand in solidarity with the Muslim community and everyone affected.

Right now, a group of Lords are pushing to change the Govt’s planning bill to make sure every new home is built with one.

It only takes a moment to help save our hedgehogs 🦔

Now officially listed as near threatened, our hedgehog numbers have crashed by at least 30% in just ten years 💔

But there’s a simple way to help: hedgehog highways. This just means a small hole in a fence or wall to let them roam more safely.

Our thoughts, love and solidarity are with the people affected by the heinous attack on the Heaton Park synagogue, and to the whole Jewish community in Manchester, Bury and across the country marking this holy and solemn day of Yom Kippur.

Antisemitism, hate and division can never win.
