The Crown Estate owns seabeds around Britain and is charging offshore wind developers huge fees to build turbines.
In the process, they're keeping our energy bills high. It’s medieval.

Also in UK and elsewhere, you can get HPV Vax up to age 45 (not always free), which a lot of folk don't know.
This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Decisions to tax online gambling firms and scrap the cruel two child benefit caps are long overdue wins for campaigners but the failure to introduce wealth taxes is a historic missed opportunity and political own goal which begs the question: whose side is this govt really on?

Great to hear from Professor Sir Michael Marmot at #KFChildrensHealth.
He did not mince his words on how essential it is to address poverty and inequality, and that the UK has the financial means to do this - if the political will is there.

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.
