Scrapping furniture safety regulations will cost dozens of lives a year, warns fire union

Under the current rules – introduced as the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 – manufacturers must submit furniture to independent testing on flammability. The regulations are estimated to have saved between 50 and 70 lives per year.

But now the Westminster government has proposed scrapping these rules in favour of a voluntary regime. Consultation on the plans closed earlier this year and ministers are now considering proposals.

The union warned that the government was using the pretext of dealing with lithium batteries and other hazards to launch a dangerous programme of deregulation.

David Cameron’s Appointment to Cabinet 'Another Reminder Why the House of Lords Must Go'

Former Prime Minister David Cameron’s appointment as Foreign Secretary – despite having left Parliament in 2016 – has triggered fresh calls to abolish the House of Lords.

Cameron replaces James Cleverly, who has moved to ousted cabinet minister Suella Braverman’s former role of Home Secretary.

There is no constitutional requirement for a cabinet minister to be an elected MP, but it is very rare that senior offices of state are held by unelected politicians. Lobbyist Cameron has been handed a seat in the 800-odd member House of Lords for life to take up the role.

Today campaign group Republic demanded a written constitution and elected upper house following the move.

Republic’s CEO, Graham Smith, said: “This appointment joins a string of recent outrages that remind us of the urgent need to ditch the Lords in favour of an elected upper house.

The removal of our international human right to protest is terrifying

We should all be terrified at the authoritarian removal of our international human right to peaceful protest.

You can now be arrested in the UK, just as in Russia, for merely holding a placard – or even being suspected of even thinking about doing so.

Indeed, earlier this year, 10 Downing street said that the bill would mean that “police will not need to wait for disruption to take place and can shut protests down before chaos erupts.” This, indeed, is vague enough to include everything – and exclude nothing.

The removal of our international human right to protest is terrifying

Our right to protest should be re-instated otherwise how can we call ourselves a democracy?

Not My King: it’s not a crime to say it

Petition

  • Protest organisers at King Charles’ coronation have been arrested, and placards confiscated.
  • The protest was legal and agreed with the police in advance, but organisers were arrested on their arrival.

The attempts to shut down debate about the issue are a disgrace

It’s time to move on from the feudal age and abolish the monarchy.

Petition:

Not My King: it’s not a crime to say it

The Tory's Fascist Kingdom has arrived

Protest organisers at King Charles’ coronation have been arrested, and placards confiscated.

The protest was all legal and agreed with the police, but organisers were arrested on their arrival. It is the latest in a series of state over-reaches trying to stop awkward questions about the UK’s new, unelected head of state.

Scotland Yard later said “several” arrests had been made for breach of the peace and conspiracy to cause public disorder.
