To all political parties: Commit to no GP appointment fees EVER I just signed 38 Degrees’ open letter asking ALL political parties to commit to NEVER charging GP fees - will you join me?

I was a year old when the NHS was founded and it's looked after me and mine all my life. Isn't it what we all pay taxes for?

I’ve written, alongside colleagues, to the Minister for Women & Equalities about the appointment of the new EHRC Chair.

We share the concerns that both the JCHR and WEC had during the pre-appointment hearing.

The EHRC urgently needs to rebuild trust with all communities.

Don't allow Trump's Turnberry golf course to host The Open Championship The Open Championship must not give in to the UK government's lobbying and allow Donald Trump to host one of the world's biggest, oldest and respected golf tournaments at any of the golf courses he ow...

Trump’s heading to Scotland this weekend and wants the next Open at his Turnberry course. I just told The R&A: DO NOT give it to him :x: Will you join me too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Sign the petition: Save Our Swifts Swifts have lost more than half their population in 20 years. A simple £35 brick in new builds could help save them. Labour used to support this – now they’re planning to backtrack. Sign the petition ...

Labour are backtracking on a plan to help save birds: by blocking a new rule that would make developers put a £35 nest brick in every new home. They think it'll help win them votes - we need to show it would do the opposite. Sign the petition 38d.gs/ky2i

We're bringing a legal challenge to the EHRC’s ‘Interim Update’ A number of trans and intersex individuals have today begun a legal challenge to the EHRC’s ‘Interim Update’ following the For Women, Scotland decision

Along with a man and a woman who are trans, and someone who is intersex, we are suing the EHRC and the Equalities Minister in respect of the disgraceful and unlawful EHRC guidance.

In line with our transparency principles we are publishing the full 32 page legal letter. goodlaw.social/2ihj

Sign the petition to stop McDonald's advertising junk food to kids I’m 17 years old. I look around the streets where I live and junk food is always in the spotlight. When I walk to school, get on the bus, wait at a station, or just spend time in the town centre, I am...

Junk food giants are pumping millions into advertising junk food to kids - and McDonald's is one of the worst 👎I've signed a petition urging McDonald's to stop targeting children with junk food ads - please will you join me and add your name now? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/mc...

A wider argument; rape is virtually legalised in this country (70,000ish rapes reported in 2024 of which charges were made in only 2.7% -according to rape crisis)and everyone is up in arms about a tiny number of people who want to adjust their gender.

Someone holding a sign saying: Respect existence or expect resistance.

Parents holding up a sign saying: "this mum says trans rights are human rights" and "our beautiful daughter is trans."

Someone holding a sign saying "you can't legislate us out of existence."

Someone holding a sign saying "i love my trans self. I love my trans friends."

Today, thousands gathered across the country - from Hastings to London to Glasgow - to say: we will always stand with trans people.

Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

Thousands of us today in the streets.

This is a major moment, it’s the biggest review of the water industry in 35 years. For too long water giants have put profit over people and our waterways.

We've finally got a chance to change things for good. Have your say: speakout.38degrees.org.uk/surveys/than...

Sign the petition: don’t cut taxes for US tech giants! Trump’s threatening to raise tariffs for UK businesses and Keir Starmer is offering to cut taxes for US tech billionaires. Europe is fighting back - why isn’t the UK? Join me in calling on Keir Starme...

Unbelievable. Rachel Reeves is thinking about cutting a tax on US tech giants to appease Trump and his band of billionaires. If anything we should be taxing them more - not less! Agree? Sign today: 38d.gs/techgiantsta...

No second state visit for Trump Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

Donald Trump is ramping up his trade wars & crashing the global economy. He's not sparing the UK from his new tariffs, so why should we roll out the red carpet for him with a second state visit? Join more than 200,000 of us and add your name to he petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Still, good that he has human rights safeguards to rely on: "He contends that this is incompatible with his rights under Articles 3, 8 and 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights (“ECHR”) and therefore contrary to s. 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998."

I strongly suspect she will be their candidate in R&H, she's gobby like the rest of them and it would give them a woman in Parliament. And I'm far from convinced Karen Shore can win it!

Cheshire West councillor joins Nigel Farage's Reform Party with 29 others across UK Cheshire West and Chester Councillor, Mandy Clare, has joined Nigel Farage's Reform UK Party.

And now she has joined Reform! I'm convinced she is going to stand for them in the Runcorn & Helsby by-election. Remember, if she does you heard it here first! 😱

Councillor made to leave women's event for supporting 'gender critical' protesters Cllr Mandy Clare, who represents the Winsford Dene ward, appeared on GB News last Sunday discussing an incident which occurred at Chester…

Reports say the Treasury is "earmarking billions in welfare cuts”.

This is Austerity 2.0 & it will worsen record levels of poverty.

Why is there always money for war, but never for the poor?

Instead of slashing the safety net, the Labour government needs to tax the super-rich.

She is just so vile Die!

I had this thought today Natacha that I seem to be moving more to the left. And then I realised that I haven't changed, rather it's Labour moving more to the right!

Austerity with a red rosette is not the “change” people voted for.

Her demonstration outside Storyhouse Chester on 1st February was reported to the police who have recorded it as a hate incident. Her card has been marked......

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

However, the census form is usually completed by the head of the household and it's likely that many young trans people may not be out to their parents giving a lower figure overall.

Here in the UK Erin, a census is carried out every ten years, the last being in 2021. This gave transgender identity being around 0.5% of the population.

And certainly NOT Trump!

'We are the nation that takes great pride in the story of Paddington… a stow away from Peru.'

Labour’s @stellacreasy.bsky.social tells @lewisgoodall.com that denying citizenship to refugees in the UK goes against the ‘compassion’ of the British people.

Stella is one of the best MPs in Parliament and she's absolutely right!
