bankrupting thousands, leaving thousands more to die

He lied before
He hasn't apologised
He's still lying

Change the voting system and let women’s voices be heard When out campaigning, especially in the run up to elections I often encounter women who say they do not vote. This is one area of life where socio-economic status does not seem to be a factor, with mu...

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.

British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit.

A male Bearded Tit caught mid-leap between two reed stems, wings tucked, little feet ready to land and eyes intensely focused on its destination: perfectly embodying the bold 'just go for it' Monday energy.

Be more Bearded Tit...jump into the week!
