Becoming a Member of Parliament (MP) is a challenging yet rewarding career path for anyone who wishes to serve the public and shape the future of their country. For people with disabilities, there can be additional barriers to overcome, but with the right support and determination, it is possible to succeed in this role.
The UK government’s move to abolish the Human Rights Act and potentially leave the ECHR could leave citizens with no enforceable rights. What would this mean for the public, migrants, and democracy?
As facial recognition continues to evolve, its deployment must be balanced against privacy laws, GDPR obligations, and fundamental human rights. Without stricter regulations and safeguards, the technology risks eroding the very freedoms it claims to protect.
Education is supposed to prepare students for the real world, but too often, schools fail to teach the very skills that young people need to thrive after graduation. Instead, the curriculum is filled with outdated or impractical subjects that do little to equip students for adulthood.
Smart doorbells such as Ring, Nest, and Eufy have grown in popularity due to their convenience and added security. However, many homeowners and tenants don’t realise that installing these devices without following proper privacy laws can land them in legal hot water. Surveillance technology can be both a deterrent to crime and a potential invasion of privacy if not used correctly.
How one woman’s journey through grief and hardship led to the creation of two powerful charities – and why her story continues to inspire global change.

Every human being deserves to be treated with dignity, especially when they’re asking for help, not handouts.
For both abled and disabled individuals, property transactions can be stressful, particularly if mobility, mental health, or accessibility needs are overlooked. Therefore, it’s essential to work with professionals who understand these challenges and can provide tailored support throughout the process.
Recent revelations have highlighted disturbing cases of DWP staff committing benefit fraud, stealing funds meant for people living in poverty, with disabilities, or nearing the end of their lives. These are not just administrative errors; these are deliberate criminal acts carried out by individuals who know the system inside and out.
For millions of people in the UK living with chronic pain, applying for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can feel like a battle against an invisible enemy. Pain, especially when it’s invisible or fluctuating, is difficult to measure, explain, and prove. The PIP assessment system, designed to support people with additional care or mobility needs, often falls short in recognising the daily impact of pain, leaving many to feel dismissed, doubted, or denied.
