Up to 50,000 nurses could quit the UK if the government’s immigration proposals are implemented.

Brilliant news for xenophobes. Not particularly great for patients and the elderly.

The NHS isn't safe under Labour, Tories or Farage.

Great news from RAMM! Exeter’s RAMM (Royal Albert Memorial Museum) has just been awarded the National Autistic Society’s Autism Friendly Award.

It’s a big step towards making Exeter a more inclusive city for everyone.

An older woman with long white hair and a red dress stands beside a young person wearing headphones and a striped shirt. They appear to be inside a museum, looking up with interest. The woman has a hand gently resting on the young person’s shoulder, and a large animal display is partially visible behind glass.

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”

Are you in despair about Reform UK?

This project from our friends at Ripples and Tactical Vote has raised £4,000.

They said they're blown away and will not only 'fact check' Reform politicians, they're going to monitor what Reform does in all 10 of the councils it now runs.

GOOD NEWS! Congratulations to Liberty on this fantastic win for protest rights.

These regulations were a major part of the crackdown on peaceful protest in England and Wales, and it's great to see the Court of Appeal confirming they're unlawful.
