We are proud to be a co-claimant in this case taking Keir Starmer and the UK government to court over their climate failings! 💥The UK isn’t doing its fair share to protect people at home or abroad – it’s time to step up.
🌏 NEW: The UK government is failing to tackle global heating – so we’re forcing it to take action with Global Legal Action Network.

60% of the British public agree: our voting system is not fit for purpose.

The upcoming Elections Bill is a chance to fix it.

We're working with Racheal Maskell MP to support her Bill in Parliament to strip Andrew of his title.

We've made it super easy for you to write to your MP, to ask them to support the Bill and support all victims of sexual exploitation.

Honestly, the mainstream media reaction to Zack Polanski entering the elites’ own conversation space…

…with widely-held public opinions…

…tells you everything you need to know about why our mainstream media is a closed shop, broken, and no longer fit for purpose.

I've had enough. The UK is a rich country, so why are our schools falling apart, our hospitals understaffed and millions struggling to get by?

The 0.1% and corporations are robbing us blind.

I know I say this an awful lot on the podcast but please, please, please email your MP before this atrocious, anti-trans guidance is laid in front of parliament.
🚨This is an emergency🚨

This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.

This will translate into more floods, droughts, heatwaves and wildfires in our backyards.

If Labour doesn't intend to adhere to its human rights obligations anyway, there's little point in us being signatories to the ECHR. Better, more honest, for Mahmood to join Reform in campaigning to leave it.

Why do we keep talking about trans healthcare?

Because of statistics like this.
Because every day waiting, in this world obsessed with harassing trans people, is a battle that many don't survive.

So, we keep talking about it, and keep fighting back against systemic transphobia.
