📢"Voluntary organisations have been fundamental to the UK's [#HIV] response for decades" Thanks @KateOsborneMP & cross-party MPs for supporting amendments to the Health Bill that would’ve strengthened the voluntary sector's role in designing and delivering health services.

We cannot allow @GileadSciences to hold our communities to ransom. They are charging $28,000 for a drug that can be made for $35. Their profiteering has blocked #NHS access, and is a substantial blow to HIV prevention in the UK. Full statement: justtreatment.org/news/2026/…

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump for a better future. Do everything to be there.

BREAKING: Business Secretary @jreynoldsMP confronted by young PIP claimants over deadly disability cuts. @UKLabour would rather plunge hundreds of thousands of disabled people into poverty than tax wealth. Time to stop #TakingThePIP, & make the super-rich #PayUp. @GNDRising
