World Tourism Day seems a good time to question how tourism impacts (& can ruin) our towns & cities.

Cities shouldn't be playgrounds for the rich, they should be enjoyed by the multitude who live there.

demands everyone should receive the same respect at work. Let's go further. Our horizon goes far beyond equal pay with eradicating all sexism & misogyny; all violence & suppression against women and other marginalised groups must end.

Terrible one year after the killing of Jîna Mahsa Aminî that so much news coverage about the Iranian women's uprising, neglects her Kurdish identity and the central role of the Kurdish women's movement leading the protests.

40 6-sheets will require the equivalent electricity of 120 average UK homes each year. In a cost of living crisis and a climate crisis, this is an unnecessary use of energy that we simply can't afford.

Over 6 years after the Grenfell fire, the Social Housing Regulation Act is now law. This is the first step in the reform the sector sorely needs, and we thank everyone who has campaigned for these changes, and who continue to fight for better treatment of social housing tenants.
