Over 4 million working households now โ€˜struggling to afford a decent lifeโ€™ More than four million working households across the UK are not earning enough to afford a โ€œdecent lifeโ€, according to new research.

Over 4 million working households are locked out of a decent life.

Economic democracy isnโ€™t abstract; it means collective bargaining, fair taxation and redistributing power at work.

โ€˜Handmaidโ€™s Tale futureโ€™: Reformโ€™s Matt Goodwin sparks outcry with fertility comments Byelection candidate accused of indulging โ€˜alt right fantasyโ€™ by suggesting women need โ€˜biological realityโ€™ check

They're saying the quiet parts out loud and not bothering to hide the misogyny any more.

If you don't want a Handmaid's Tale future, #VoteGreen and keep Reform away from ANY power.

It is essential for anyone wishing to understand Justinianโ€™s age to appreciate some theological arguments, even briefly. Doing so allows us to feel the spirit of the time, the intellectual & political pressures that shaped the Eastern Roman Empire.

We are urging the Sri Lankan Govt to stop the harassment of the Tamil photojournalist Kanapathipillai Kumanan

Why the UKโ€™s toughest immigration voices are often politicians of colour As parties harden their stance on borders, minority politicians have become political cover against racism accusations.

The UKโ€™s harshest immigration rhetoric is increasingly delivered by politicians of colour

It reflects how race is weaponised to legitimise punitive border policies

This pattern reveals how race is used to shield power from criticism

What are the Chagos Islands โ€“ and why is the UK returning them to Mauritius? Donald Trump has called the plan to transfer sovereignty โ€˜stupidโ€™ and linked it to his own push to acquire Greenland

After years of legal pressure, the #UK is handing back the Chagos Islands to #Mauritius, respecting international law

Trump derides the move as โ€œstupidโ€, once again mistaking colonial nostalgia for strength

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politiciansโ€™ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments donโ€™t tackle the problem because they donโ€™t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Extreme inequality has created a class of global predators who exploit the rest of us financially & beyond.

Treating people as โ€œnon-player characters,โ€ and framing empathy as weakness.

It fosters an ethos that denies our shared humanityโš ๏ธ.
