"The argument being made before next week’s welfare green paper – that Labour is “the party of work” and has a duty to reduce welfare costs – has left some furious, and others angry at those who are furious. At prime minister’s questions on Wednesday, Starmer was urged to “provide compassion” to those who cannot work. Jeers after he spoke encapsulated the mood on his benches."

UK residents:
Chris Packham has started a petition against fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship. It is yet to pass the 100,000 signature threshold for forcing a parliament debate.
Please consider signing:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700024
Petitions - UK Government and ParliamentPetition: Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorshipAdvertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced and has arguably worked. I believe continued fossil fuel usage will kill more people than smoking.

hey, if you live in the UK, go sign this petition!
the UK government currently plans to segregate off trans people into separate wards for treatment.
this petition is asking the government to stop that. if the petition gets to 100,000 signatures it will be debated in parliament. it has passed 10,000 and the government has responded, but it only runs until early July.
i've signed it, you should too!
Petitions - UK Government and ParliamentPetition: Do not stop transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wardsThe previous government proposed changes to the NHS constitution which would mean transgender hospital patients in England may not be treated in female- and male-only wards. We believe that this segregation is discriminatory, dangerous, and violates the Equality Act 2010 and it must not go ahead.

I doubt it'll make any difference. We're not exactly a robust economy after Brexit, are we?
