Carer & Disability Rights, Conservation & Re-Wilding plus a bunch of other things I think would be really good for most people and the planet - they tend to be the same thing, funny that!

Petition: Stop deducting carer's allowance from income based welfare
Currently carer's allowance affects income based welfare. Carer's allowance is deducted from income based welfare like universal credit and Income based ESA.
petition.parliament.uk
If you were offered a job at £2.94 an hour would you take it? Didn't think so
Thats what carers get so long as they work a minimum of 35 hours a week. If, as I do, they work over 100 hours they dont get a penny more + it gets deducted from other benefits petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

UK exported 8,500 tonnes of pesticides that are banned on British farms because of the dangers they pose to human health and nature.
Profits prioritised over people, with full approval of the state.
Today someone else, tomorrow it will happen to you.

4/ This 'Protected Landscapes duty' was enshrined - following a LOT of campaigning by groups like @wclnews.bsky.social @campaign4parks.bsky.social - into the Levelling Up Act passed by the last govt.
However, it doesn't yet have full legal force - until the govt pass regulations to this effect.

2/ The Government have also announced they will "revamp governance" of National Parks & National Landscapes.
That has to mean changes to the Boards that govern NPAs/ NLs - too many of whom lack diversity, and, in my view, over-represent landed interests:

Are landed interests over-represented on England’s National Park Authorities?

Very good to see Labour will strengthen the mandate of National Parks & National Landscapes to "recover nature".
This will require primary legislation, and was something the Glover Review proposed way back in 2019 - but the Tories never did it. 1/

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.
It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.
There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

Wes Streetings decision to ban puberty blockers should be called out for what it is.
He's playing culture wars where trans & non binary youth are collateral damage & Labour dance to Reforms tune.
An attack on trans people is an attack on our LGBTQ+ community. We must say no.
