Because of this the media don't seem to be talking about what most who earn their living by working, whether they think of themselves as working class or not, are bothered about!

Survey after survey point to the cost of living, housing, health, and a tatty thread bear public environment.

British journalism has been through a shameful era – bending the knee to Downing Street.

Can it ever recover its dignity? Peter Thurlow wonders.

How deference becomes client journalism in plain sight

We have come through a period of often shameful journalism, bending the knee to Downing Street. Can our journalism recover?

Visited a minefield in Ukraine with the HALO Trust to see their vital work clearing explosives and making land safe again.

Incredible professionalism and bravery from everyone involved.

It's a tradition @greenparty.org.uk to take part in a small, organised, peaceful but noisy demonstration.

It's your choice whether to join in or not. Some of us were holding the red banner on a typical blustery day and got pelted by a passing rain shower.

We stand with the Jewish community and everyone affected by the horrific attack at the synagogue in Manchester today.

My thoughts and prayers are with all those injured in today’s attack at a synagogue on Yom Kippur, and with the wider Jewish community.

No one should feel unsafe in their place of worship.

We must all work to calm tensions, stand together, and reaffirm our shared commitment to peace and solidarity

The Times says global warming is ‘exaggerated’. Tell that to families facing soaring energy bills and food prices. Climate change isn’t just an environmental crisis it’s driving the cost of living too. 🌍💷
