"When I moved into my Council home, there was mould on the walls that has now spread to every room, which impacts my health. The next Government must introduce a UK-wide home repair & upgrade strategy to make our homes safer, healthier, & greener," Helen Cardiff Citizens

Most men in the UK only got the right to vote in 1918 with the Representation of the People Act. Women over 21 only got the right to vote in 1928. Your vote is precious and has been hard-won. Your vote matters. Do vote! #ThisIsWhatAPriestLooksLike

Statement from our collective Citizens UK chapters. We know our own alliance in Cardiff is not immune to the consequences of the violence and hate enacted in the last few days, and we stand in solidarity with all those affected. Hate has no place here.
