Domestic abuse and violence is a silent epidemic. Law’s have changed to work to protect women, but not all women know their rights. If you want to check your safety with a partner then please use Claire’s Law to find out if they have a history of abuse.

On this day that DUP have so much say in the future of the UK, this is a regular reminder that they won 10 MPs with under 300k votes. @TheGreenParty had over 500k votes and got just one MP (who does the work of 10). #MakeVotesMatter

A General Election will not solved Brexit. We do not have a proportional election system in the UK, which means that a few marginal seats are going to decide the future of our country. The only solution is a People's Vote.

As of 3:12 pm, Britain hasn't used coal power for 14 continuous days 💪 This marks the only coal-free fortnight since the world’s first coal-powered plant opened in London in 1882. We must phase out coal and become net-zero carbon emissions to tackle the climate emergency. 🌍

The state of a broken electoral system. Conservatives increase their vote share by 1% = 66 new MPs. Greens increase their vote by 1% = 0 new MPs. 43% of the country voted Conservative, but they have 56% of the seats despite the majority of the country not voting for them.

The UK hasnt burnt coal for 60 days. This is by far the longest period of coal free energy since the industrial revolution 200 years ago. Coal is dead. Let's invest in renewables and put the final nail it the coffin of one of the dirtiest fossil fuels.

The Queen was never going to stop an unelected PM shutting Parliament. I get why people thought it, I was told it was the very point of a monarch too. The reality is that it's the people ourselves who need to be the defenders of democracy right now. Don't despair! Organise.
