If it’s time to replace a lightbulb, go for an LED 💡
Replacing all your bulbs with LEDs would cost the average household around £145, but you’ll save £35 a year on your bills.

Before the pandemic the Conservatives left the NHS with record waiting lists and huge staff shortages.
Now one in every ten people in England is waiting for care.
The government has got to solve the staffing shortage if it’s going to bring down waiting lists.

Vaccination, ventilation and testing - @bphillipsonMP sets out what needs to be done to get children and young people back to school safety and the questions the Government must answer @NEUnion @NAHTnews @ASCL_UK
The Education Secretary addressed the House of Commons just now on students' return to education.
The government's approach has been incompetent, complacent and inadequate.
And his statement raises more questions than it answers.

Labour is glad children are back in schools.
They should be learning together and playing together.
But the Tories need to match Labour’s clear, costed, and ambitious plan for how children can recover from the sustained disruption to their education.

I asked Boris Johnson how he expects people to survive on £96 a week when they get sick, since he thought earning £250k from his second job was “chicken feed”.
His response was pitiful.
Sick pay needs to be raised to Living Wage level to save countless lives & livelihoods #PMQs
In the old T&G, now @unitetheunion, I chaired the Defence Unions for a decade.
Defence workers are proud of their country & work hard to ensure the safety & security of our citizens. They will be horrified that the government has wasted taxpayers money @UKLabour

The Government must go further to stop Covid spreading throughout schools.
This means:
More vaccination.
More ventilation.
Mass testing at schools.

Confirmed - Govt has finally accepted our proposal to lift 6 month time limit on domestic abuse prosecutions!
We put huge pressure on to get this through. Thanks to @RefugeCharity @womensaid @centreWJ @EricaOsakwe @CommissionerDA
We’ll keep up pressure for further action too/

2 yrs ago I met brave constituent who had been victim of domestic abuse but was told by police it was too late to act due to 6 month time limit on summary prosecutions. Since then I’ve been campaigning for law change. Hoping to hear from Govt on this today theguardian.com/commentisfre…
The grim truth confronting millions as Winter sets in, spelt out in graphic terms by consumer champion, @MartinSLewis. Too many are being faced with the choice of heat or eat as the cost of living crisis deepens

One million Brits in Covid isolation as back-to-work chaos looms: Pupils could be turned away at schools, commuters face rail chaos, uncollected rubbish overflows and scores of businesses may shut

We should be using our recovery to get our economy growing, facing challenges head on and grasping opportunities before us.
As the cost of living crisis grows, we must break out of this low growth, high tax cycle the Conservatives are trapping us in.
