Fascinating.

We need this . The level of corruption during covid is frightening our country needs to claw that money back from friends of the former government. It is a scandal that there was a fast track to friends of ministers and a lack of public scrutiny .

Now that someone has attempted to assassinate Trump will anyone be allowed to raise all these points. All that I hear is about strength. It’s so inappropriate that in this time voters are being told to forget to just trust the strong man. Some of the press are now insinuating that to examine his record led to this attack. When in reality attacks happen because there is so little regulation over guns in America. Even more disturbingly this is a leader that will appoint judges that will permanently affect legislation. We can see that from the mess that has emerged from the last appointments and have benefitted him directly.

I just got asked to sign this by a friend and after initially not recognising the seriousness of the issue ,after re reading I saw the point. Many of our children are swimming in the wild so it is probably even more important. I respect Rebecca Adlington as well and realise this isn't a superficial matter. Maybe we need legal regulation of some kind .Whatever we do we need to take steps to make it safer for our children . Please share.

404 signatures are needed, let’s get there by the end of the day?

It’s almost as if the failure to address key concerns in the NHS and more has led to this debacle. Brexit has caused significant problems with labour & medicine shortages and now this. They must go.

Why doesn’t this surprise me ?
It’s another reason which precipitated the disastrous Brexit vote.
When campaigning for remain in WSM some of the the saddest comments were from people who thought that Brexit would improve their area. It was assumed that there would be change because they were told this ( from the Leave campaign a combination of UKIP and Conservatives) who visited their town suggesting that there would be jobs and money pouring into their area.
Whilst there has been recent investment in WSM it certainly isn’t a reward from Brexit but rather serious efforts by local councillors in a rainbow coalition to reverse decades of underinvestment .
Levelling up is an opaque or woolly concept that has been used by this dishonest government to paper over exceptionally inadequate or even incoherent policies.
It is my hope that any new government will put science and evidence at the heart of its policies rather than irrational populist images that offer everything and deliver nothing.

Thinktank warns that government’s promises of levelling up are being undermined by system that is ‘not fit for purpose’

It is terrifying that in our country we have significant food poverty. It isn’t rational that our government has failed our children . In Brazil and Kenya they treat the provision of feeding children as an investment . In this country we have a government that is totally ignoring this vital issue .
Children are our future .

We believe that every child should have a healthy school dinner, every day. It’s that simple. Right now, Free School Meals for every child stop after year two. We are a movement of educators, parents and concerned community members ready to put this right.

Hoping that they are forced to rebuild brick by brick. It is a scandal and I’m sure we don’t want to hear that yet another company has avoided responsibility . In fact where people or companies are shown to have acted with intent surely it should be possible to pursue reparations for costs to a community asset?
It’s almost as if under this government more people seem to act without care for society.

Staggering . It’s almost as if this government have become the epitome of corruption.

Labour are right it is vital that the government promote social housing . Unfortunately the government has been asleep at the wheel for the last decade. We have never needed housing as much as we do now. Ignoring this is extremely shortsighted & will feed into the demographic crisis & labour shortages .

These guys are three of our unsung heroes at Care4Calais.

For the last few years, George (left) and Henry (right) have been driving their van from their home in South Devon to our south coast storage unit, picking up clothes and essentials, and taking them to Calais. Once there they volunteer at distributions, or fix our vans and generators with their incredible mechanical skills (“Just what we’ve picked up after a lifetime of owning our own knackered old vans,” according to the very modest George). Without this help we simply couldn’t move things around in Calais, so we are very, very grateful.

Sometimes George and Henry come with their pal Alex, but this time it was JD (he’s the one in the middle). JD is a carpenter, and in a few days he quietly mended our warehouse shelves.

All three were so happy and cheerful, they were like a burst of sunshine for us, and we can’t thank them enough.

“I like coming to Calais,” George told us. “It’s distressing, as you know it will be, but it’s also uplifting. To see so many people helping each other restores my faith in humanity.

“The first time I came to volunteer here, seven years ago, I met a family with some teenage boys around the same age as my nephew. One of them in particular was so helpful and resourceful, anything you asked for, they’d go and find on the site. He was an inspiration that has lasted with me to this day.”

We always need more people to drive supplies to Calais – and we can supply the van and petrol. Could you anyone you know help? If you could, please email [email protected]

This looks fabulous.

We're truly honoured that the concert celebrating the 60th birthday of the late, great George Michael will be held in aid of Care4Calais.

George was a fiercely compassionate defender of refugees in his lifetime, often speaking out for them, and those who supported them, in the media. "Anybody who fights for human rights or to make this world a better place… these are the people who deserve the credit these days," he told the Guardian in 2014.

The concert will take place at St Michael's Church, Highgate at 7pm on Thursday June 22. Among the performers will be Toby Bourke, whose "Waltz Away Dreaming" duet with George was a top ten hit in 1997. Ticket are £17.50. Book online: ticketsource.co.uk/gmtributehighgate

Thank you to the organisers

And thank you George.

It is vital that where people flout the law , the government doesn’t shrug its shoulders because a precedent is set. We know that far right extremists are the biggest growing group of terrorists and allowing them to flourish is a highly dangerous strategy. Please sign the letter to the AG.
