In response to the prepayment meter scandal, energy firms have now agreed to: - Not forcibly install prepayment meters in homes over over-85s - make at least 10 attempts to contact a customer before installing - make their representatives wear bodycams theguardian.com/business/2023/

We asked our frontline staff how the #CostOfLiving is affecting terminally ill patients. The results are shocking. 🚨 94% have cared for people struggling financially 🚨 78% say it’s impacting patients’ mental health 🚨 23% say it's hastened deterioration of patients' conditions

Reporters always suspect government departments screen our FOI requests - even though they're meant to be handled impartially. It's rarely as blatant as this though: An email I got today saying the information can only be released to me with "Head of News approval"

Deforesters are plundering the Amazon. Brazil is letting them get away with it. Inspection agencies have been gutted. Courts are lenient. Appeals grind on. A Post investigation shows deforesters deforest because they can.

Inspection agencies have been gutted. The courts are lenient. Appeals can grind on forever. Deforesters keep deforesting, because they know they can.

This is not fair, it's not right. People are going to die if this isn't sorted by the winter. People are going to fall in to major debt because the governor will not do anything Energy price cap: Typical energy bill set to rise £800 a year in October

Industry regulator Ofgem warns households that they should expect higher energy bills this winter.

Marie Curie research has shown that living in cold homes can hasten the death of people living with a terminal illness, and for many people on a low income living with a terminal illness, there is not even the guarantee of the Warm Home Discount to support them. (3/4)

Last night Hackney Council agreed to take over a 15 year lease on the Basement, Ground Floor and part of the First Floor of Ridley Road Shopping Village. After years of uncertainty and so much work by so many this is HUGE victory. For traders, campaigners, the whole borough.

"It should be a right, not a fight!" We're urging the government to make a key change to their Health and Care Bill that will guarantee palliative care to everyone in England. Sign the petition here and #MakeCareFair: e-activist.com/page/91837/pet

This graphic compiles some of the comments which were written on Marie Curie's petition to make End of Life Care Fair. These comments detail peoples' experiences who weren't able to get care when it was needed. One quote says: "We waited almost 24 hours for a doctor as my husband was dying." In the middle of the graphic, a quote reads: "My husband died this year. He received end of life care but had to fight for it. It should be a right, not a fight. Another reads: "My sister got no pain relief in her last dying hours. It was so cruel and heartless."
