Why should customers bail out water companies for their mistakes? THEY built up £60 billion in debt rewarding banks and investors, and now want us to fix their problem. Sign the petition and tell Ofwat: no bill hikes to bail them out. act.38degrees.org.uk/act/no-…
Millions of children across the UK are in poverty, going to bed cold & waking up hungry. But scrapping the cruel 2 child benefit cap could help change that. Sign the petition to call on @Keir_Starmer to lift this cap & help make the UK a kinder place: 38d.gs/2gfd

International students are invaluable to UK's culture, universities, economy & workforce. Losing their presence would deprive the nation of immense vibrancy & dynamism.
The government need to halt their hostile attacks on students from overseas
