Britain in Crisis: The UK Faces a Steep Climb Out of a Deep Hole

Food shortages, moldy apartments, a lack of medical workers: The United Kingdom is facing a perfect storm of struggle, and millions are sliding into poverty. There is little to suggest that improvement will come anytime soon.

Coronation’s Big Help Out volunteering project at risk of lack of participants

Volunteering was in “steady decline”, a trend that without government intervention was likely to continue. “You look at levels of volunteering over the last decade and it’s just been relentlessly downhill,” he added. “It’s hard to put a gloss on it.”

#Volunteering is at a historic low in England, government research shows. In 2021-22, 34% of respondents to the Community Life Survey volunteered at least once a month, down from 41% the year before and 44% in 2013-14.

The latest figures mark the lowest ever participation recorded by the survey, which has been running for a decade.

‘Tax us now’: ultra-rich call on governments to introduce wealth taxes

"The current lack of action is gravely concerning. A meeting of the global elite in #Davos to discuss ‘cooperation in a fragmented world’ is pointless if you aren’t challenging the root cause of division,

“Defending #democracy & building cooperation requires action to build fairer economies right now – it is not a problem that can be left for our children to fix.

Defend the Right to Strike

New legislation proposed by the Tory government intends to override a workers’ right to withdraw their labour, forcing them to work against their will.

The right to strike is a fundamental democratic right. It underpins our ability to win dignity in the workplace and earn a decent standard of living.

It is no accident that this right is under attack at the very moment the public is fighting back against the cost-of-living squeeze.

This government is determined to force workers to pay the price for a crisis caused by the greed of the elite yet again. We won’t accept it.
