Is it South West Water releasing raw sewage into the sea every time it rains, in blatant violation of legislation that says this should only happen in extreme weather events?

No? Well that’s certainly how it feels as a swimmer.

We are working with Jo Bateman and Leigh Day to sue South West Water. The dumping of human waste into our water - ruining our rivers and seas for profit - cannot continue.

Palestinian academics in the UK urgently call for solidarity in defence of Gaza universities. UK universities & international organisations must support rebuilding #GazaUniversities .

When universities that decry the lack of academic freedom in other countries start sending police to arrest their own staff for exercising that freedom (& protecting students’ right to protest the horrors of war in those countries), we should all be very concerned.

We would love to hear from carers who have received a recent demand from DWP - within the last three months - to repay carers' allowance. Please do email us - contact details at GoodLawProject.org - or reply here. We might well be able to help.

Thanks for advocating for carers, Debbie.

Not only do many carers have long-term illnesses & disabilities (some pre-existing & some caused by the caring role), this kind of interdependency can lead to thoughts of (& deaths by) suicide & homicide if the carer’s needs go unmet.

Are you care-experienced and interested in a career in research / academia? We are advertising a paid research internship specifically for a care-experienced person (must be >18yo). Feel free to DM me with any qus Anna Freud UCL Psych & Lang Sci Lisa Holmes
