15 penguins are trapped in the basement of @london_aquarium

😡This must be stopped!

Labour's 2024 manifesto promised our NHS would always be "publicly owned and publicly funded".

Now they are talking about reintroducing PFI into our NHS.

PFI would set a ticking time bomb under our NHS that will blow up in patients' faces - ACT NOW.
Say no to new PFI in our NHS - take action
The government’s new 10-Year Plan for Health is proposing to bring disastrous private finance deals back into our NHS.

A customer refused to buy the copy of the book they wanted from our shelves because they “don’t buy display copies.” Not sure they know how bookshops work. 🤷‍♂️

Brands such as Urban Outfitters, Gymshark and Uniqlo are recruiting young workers without basic employment rights through gig apps, to cover the festive period.

This is clearly passing on risk from the business owner to the individual staff member.

It’s unacceptable.

Joe Biden has approved the provision of anti-personnel landmines in Ukraine - a move that will endanger civilian life for years to come.

As a signatory of the UN Anti-Personnel Landmines Convention, the UK government must condemn this irresponsible move.

This should be the final straw for the private sale of fireworks in Scotland. Councils must be able to limit displays to organised events.

Firework noise has long caused extreme stress for our pets and wildlife. It's unfair and dangerous to allow it to continue.
