It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. ๐งต

Many Majestic Wine customers will be disappointed to see their comments about their advertising with GB News.
Supporting free speech - a basic human right that we all deserve - doesn't entail any obligation to fund media that fuel division & to imply otherwise would be misleading... /1

How do humanists find meaning in life?
Humanists believe that lifeโs meaning is not given to us,
but that human beings can create meaning and happiness themselves.
1
Humanists find purpose
in relationships, creativity, helping others, and making a positive impact on the world around us.
2
Each personโs path is different.
Humanists support everyoneโs right to think for themselves and shape their own life.

Council tax shock for thousands of Durhamโs poorest โ thanks to Reform UK
Durham will scrap full council-tax rebates, forcing 26,000 low-income working-age residents to start paying for the first time
Around 26,000 of the neediest people in County Durham will have to start paying council tax next year...
About 2,400 others who already pay some council tax will lose part of their rebate.
Women and the disabled will be disproportionately affected.
Not quite what Reform UK had promised.

Red triangle badge on a grey suit lapel
Alongside my poppy at the cenotaph this year, Iโll be wearing the red triangle to remember the liberation 80 years ago of humanists who were held in the camps wearing this badge like other political opponents of fascism. We must have courage to stand against fascism and for freedom in every age.

That's only about 60% of voters that never have any representation.
