A message from SQUASH, Squatters Action for Secure Homes.
What a joke! All of it, the whole process. Last night the House of Lords passed a clause hidden in the legal aid bill to criminalise squatting in residential properties essentially making thousands of homeless people criminals overnight. A whole section of the very poorest and most vulnerable in society have been made criminals and again the debate took place extremely late in the day ... read more.

Support great beer in the great British pub and sign our e-petition now. British Pubs Need You.
Every year, the beer tax escalator increases the tax on beer by 2% above the rate of inflation, thus adding considerably more pressure on the British pub, the cornerstone of many of our communities. Removing the beer duty escalator at the next budget will help keep beer more affordable and go a long way to supporting the institution that is – the great British pub.
Going to the pub is a core British tradition and so is enjoying great beer. If you want to continue enjoying your fresh pint in your...

A message from PCS, Public and Commercial Services Union.
The budget has widened the gap between rich and poor and will do nothing to create jobs, says the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS).
The chancellor’s financial package includes:
Cutting the top tax rate on earnings over £150,000 from 50% to 45%. Someone like Barclay’s boss Bob Diamond earning £6m per year will be £325,000 better off.
An extra £10.5bn of welfare cuts will hit poor people hardest.
Corporation tax being cut even further, taking £3.76bn from public services and handing it over to big business.

A message from 38 Degrees. People Power Change.
Please take one moment to vote YES or NO – are you up for continuing to campaign to protect the NHS?
https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/NHS-vote
This isn't an easy email to write. It's bad news. After more than a year of controversy and debate, the government has got its NHS plans through Parliament.[1] Our petition was read out many times, and there were scores of MPs and Lords who gave a passionate defence of the NHS, but the votes were still lost.[2] It isn't the result any of us were hoping for.
They didn't totally get their own way....

A message from Playfair 2012, campaigning for a sweat free Olympics.
The Olympic movement states that it aims to “build a better world through sport”, but for workers making the Olympic mascots and London 2012 pin badges, this translates into poverty pay, long hours and poor health and safety.
