🚨 Nigel Farage’s Reform UK just opened the floodgates to dark money in our politics by becoming the first UK party to accept untraceable crypto donations. Join me and sign the petition to stop shady crypto donations flooding our politics: 38d.gs/xvqe

Our privatised water system is broken - and water lobbyists have worked hard to shut down alternatives.

In July the People’s Commission is launching a people-first vision for our water in Parliament.

Your MP needs to hear about it: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...
Ask your MP to show their support for a people-first future for our water!
We can make our water work for people - not shareholders - but water lobbyists are working hard to shut this solution down. Will you make sure your MP hears about it?

Donald Trump could be given the honour of addressing the UK parliament. We can't let him spout his idiocy and hate in the heart of our democracy. MPs are pushing back - now it’s our turn. Sign the petition to stop this national embarrassment: 38d.gs/yfl7
