Sign the petition! Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak: We Demand a Plan for the NHS RAAC
We are writing to Rishi Sunak to express our deep concerns about reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) and the potential dangers it poses to both NHS patients and staff. There have been repeated warnings over a number of years, and the government has failed to take the action required to rectify the situation.

The Tory mission has failed: British people don’t want a smaller state
Despite their campaign victories, the Conservatives have made surprisingly few converts to their biggest idea. Now they have nothing left to say
