This is to my mind the killer chart here. Just 15% of the public said when we asked earlier this year the Government has things under control. 72% say it doesn’t - so people turn to other options outside of traditional mainstream in hope they can give control.

No woman who suffers unexplained pregnancy loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth or premature labour should be treated like a criminal. Yesterday’s change, to decriminalise, will stop women from being treated like criminals in the midst of the hardest of circumstance they may

A calamitous failure of the British state.. of scrutiny, accountability, responsibility and political will… and not by any means an isolated example.

At last night’s Scrutiny Overview, the Tory Mayor’s response on his #VAWG Delivery plan was vague, harmful & revealing. By saying “they don’t accept they’re in abuse” ignores: 🩸 Women are often killed while leaving ✊🏾 Systems retraumatise survivors ⚖️ Intersectionality matters

The long shadow of the ‘tough decisions’ era of this govt.

A reminder that the government has banned the most senior member of the armed forces from speaking on the record at a public event, even when sat alongside foreign colleagues who can speak freely A frankly ludicrous situation. If we trust Radakin to run the armed forces,

Finally! New trams for Croydon.

So he was The War Doctor after all!

If there's one thing that was definitely true under Eisenhower, it's that international law was applied totally impartially and without regard to the interests of the great powers.

Why are the trees turning purple in Purley?

The long shadow of the govt’s strategic mistakes of last summer

I can see a case for a smartphone ban in schools but as a first step I think it would be better if the govt required social media apps to block school-aged access during school hours. Only if that fails, move to the physical ban.

Croydon desperately needs a PLAN to fix the finances. Not more bluster and scaremongering.

Come on Southern - is a bike shed at East Croydon really too much? Please reconsider!
