Gambling giants don't pay their fair share: a higher tax on them could raise billions to help lift kids out of poverty. Think that's a no-brainer? Add your name today: 38d.gs/tb7s

We’re lighting up Liverpool with a message for Labour Party Conference: with millions of us at risk this winter, the ultra-rich must pay their fair share! A tiny 2% tax on assets over £10m would raise £24 BILLION for services for everyday people #TenMillionTax #LabourConference

Look up leaders! We’re taking our message to the skies above York because today’s #bbcqt shouldn’t be a battle of who can shout ‘liar’ louder. It should be about how the leaders intend to solve the cost of living crisis.

Do you still feel worse off in spite of energy bills falling? It's no surprise. 📉 The additional spend by households on energy over the last three years totals more than £72bn, according to the @EndFuelPoverty Coalition. @IsabellaMcrae reports. 👇 bigissue.com/news/social-ju…

In Westminster, everyone seems focused on what tax gimmicks Jeremy Hunt might pull out on Wednesday. In Jeremy Hunt’s own seat, our new poll shows that for his constituents, as with voters around the country, saving the NHS and help with the cost of living crisis matter most.

Boris Johnson is joining GB News. A former Prime Minister on a channel that has breached impartiality rules before could be a disaster for our democracy. Will you sign the petition demanding @Ofcom enforce impartiality rules to protect our democracy?38d.gs/GBNewsTW

This is outrageous, @RishiSunak and @Jeremy_Hunt need to step up and help thousands of families shackled by energy debt.

May's local elections across much of the country were the first test for the Government’s new voting rules and already we’re hearing reports of people turned away from polling stations. Do you have an election day story to share? Take this short survey: 38d.gs/VoterIDSurvey
