I’m over 66 and so are many of my Parliamentary colleagues. As MPs we earn a very good salary & yet as pensioners we pay no National Insurance contributions. It is deeply unfair that our generation should benefit from the mooted Tory social care policy & not contribute.

A storm has shut down every single subway line in NYC. Hurricane Ida has knocked out electricity for millions for weeks. Lake Tahoe is literally on fire causing mass evacuations. Politicians who continue to take fossil fuel money & deny climate justice must be replaced. Period.
