Rishi Sunak's government has published the list of acceptable ID required for people to vote in the UK. Six of the Government-approved IDs are specifically targeted at older people, while several forms of ID widely carried by younger people are excluded. bylinetimes.com/2022/11/07/vot…

The privatisation of social care is harmful to us all. It’s time for a National Care Service, freely available to all those who need it, wherever they need it, whenever they need it. My piece for @tribunemagazine. tribunemag.co.uk/2022/11/dement…
