In the past, President Trump has ridden roughshod over climate agreements, cosied up to dictators, and eyed up our NHS as part of trade deals. We need Keir Starmer to be brave and bold when dealing with him. Tell the PM to stand up to Trump from day one. 38d.gs/trumplbda_X01

Big supermarkets can easily afford the National Insurance increases for employers without hiking prices for shoppers. These highly profitable companies should pay their fair share.

This is a growing and dangerous problem. Last year, over twice as many officers were dismissed compared to four years ago. This included 18 who were sacked for possessing indecent images of children and 33 for abusing their position for a sexual purpose. bbc.com/news/articles/…

We need to be reducing fossil fuel consumption by 9% every year. Last year there was still growth of 1.3%. It’s not really a mystery why at this point.

Over 100 people were invited to the ā€œbring-your-own-boozeā€ event in Downing Street during the first lockdown. Honouring the person who organised those drinks is a profound insult to all those who shielded, died and grieved in isolation during lockdown.

400,000 people are currently thought to be waiting for care services. 81% of councils are set to overspend their adult social care budgets. Now charities estimate they will face an additional bill of £1.4bn as a result of the rises in National Insurance. 38d.gs/NIexemption_X01

Liz Truss was able to send 32 people to the House of Lords - that’s one peer for every 1.5 days she served. No wonder the Liberal Democrats want to scrap this system.

Yesterday MPs voted to eliminate hereditary peers. Labour's manifesto also pledged a mandatory retirement age of 80 and eventually to create "an alternative second chamber that is more representative of the regions and nations". What do you think? Should reforms go further?

Desperate hospitals having to pay eye-watering sums to opportunistic companies not only costs tax-payers billions every year but pulls experienced staff from the NHS. Ending this practice would be a huge step in the right direction.

Post offices are hugely important community hubs and employers. From passport applications to withdrawing cash and returning online orders, people still depend on their local post office. Especially in rural communities. Closures and job losses are the wrong approach.

This week the Guardian announced they will no longer post on X (formally Twitter). At 38Degrees we’re debating whether we should do the same. What do you think? Should we leave X? Are you considering it?

Up to 115 post offices could be at risk at closure and thousands of jobs lost as a result. But this is only one option being considered - we can still tell the Government to scrap the plans. 38d.gs/postoffices_X01
