By age 5, children from the poorest families are already behind their wealthier peers – educationally, socially, even in health.

Sure Start was designed to break this cycle. It worked. Now it may be coming back. Here’s what we know ⤵️
Sure Start: Tackling inequality in the early years to transform lives
The government’s ‘Best Start Family Hubs’ are reviving one of the most successful initiatives of New Labour. But will it work this time?

Farage wants to make children more vulnerable online, he wants to repeal the Online Safety Act. Why because he feels it will go too far in our against freedoms in this country! FFS what about the abused children, the vulnerable teens and the abhorrent adults sharing their filthy secrets?

Albanese is so right, we must not stop from calling out this injustice in the face of people who perpetrate and those who enable it!

Legislators for Hire

Tory MP allowed a company that paid him £60,000 a year to effectively write his parliamentary questions.

What can poor do to get MP attention?

Political corruption destroys nations.

End corruption: criminalize political donations, spurious consultancies.

Starmer’s welfare cuts could leave thousands of disabled women trapped with abusers.

Why no gender impact assessment?

Women lose disproportionately more in public sector wage cuts, benefit cuts, state pension age hike.

Despite equality laws gender pay/pension gap persists.

DWP benefit cuts to push 150,000 people into poverty despite partial U-turn.

How many will die prematurely?

Last year HMRC failed to collect £46.8bn of taxes.

Please tell your MP to oppose the cruel cuts.

You know what pissed me off today, reading about women 100yrs ago being shunned by other women because their ratty husbands left them for the “other women,” you’d think friends would relay around but it was the wives that paid the price of their husband’s infidelity! Fuck the patriarch!

I think intervention between Israel and Iran needs to be a priority. Israel needs to withdraw from Gaza for good and let the Palestinians rebuild their lives. I fear Isreal will not let that happen, they want total control and expulsion of all Palestinians and Christian’s.

There are no Israelis in any party willing to stop the destruction in Gaza, stop the genocide and promote peace! How fucking sad, if Jesus Christ came back I wonder what he’d make of it but he was just a man advocating peace!

Kidney transplants performed by unscrupulous Mediheal hospitals in Kenya, meanwhile the donors are being paid a pittance for their organs and desperate patients paying huge amounts to stay alive. It’s an absolute money making scheme exploiting the donors and patients!
