Surprise surprise...

Rishi Sunak won't hand over Whatsapp messages from during the pandemic to the Covid inquiry. It's a disgrace - and we deserve better from those leading us. Join me and demand that he releases the evidence now!

Can't believe the audacity!!!

Prince Andrew is reported to have launched a bid to win back his £3 million taxpayer funded security team with the backing of former Home Secretary Priti Patel. Andrew was stripped of police protection after paying millions to settle a civil s*x assault case last year. The idea of spending £3 mill...

We all stand together.

I just signed the campaign calling on water companies to stop the unjust act of hiking our bills while allowing water companies to pay shareholder dividends.

This should be hung in every dementia care home and in hospitals where there are patients with dementia. And shared widely!!! 💔

If I get dementia, I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.

1. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.
2. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.
3. If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.
4. If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.
5. If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.
6. If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.
7. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.
8. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.
9. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.
10. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.
11. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.
12. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.
13. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.
14. If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.
15. If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.
16. If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.
17. If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.
18. If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.
19. If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.
20. If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.
21. If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”

ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴀsᴛᴇ in Honour of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honour of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s.💕💔

Dear Alan,

The Supreme Court today ruled in favour of the case we've been supporting over how public green spaces are sold by local authorities.

Greenfields Community Group – a local residents campaign group in Shropshire – had been fighting for nearly six years over the land, arguing that Shrewsbury Town Council should have consulted residents on the ownership of the land, before the sale was made.

Thousands of you chipped in to help us get the case all the way to the Supreme Court, and today, we won!

Nearly 4,000 public spaces and buildings are being sold off every year in England alone, and this judgment could have far reaching consequences for how public land and green spaces are managed by local authorities in the future.

This is our first Supreme Court case since our successful challenge to Boris Johnson’s unlawful suspension of Parliament. We have a number of further Supreme Court hearings lined up for this year, including one next week on sewage dumping.

I know you care. Sign.

The UK government is planning a reckless bonfire of the laws that protect our health and environment - putting people and nature in grave danger. If its new plan goes ahead, hundreds of environmental laws could be ripped up next year. From the rules that stop river pollution to those that protect us...
