Unregulated extortionate rent increases often higher than pay rises have forced millions of tenants into hardship and destitution. It is not sustainable and we need rent control. Govt must act.

A moderate 3 Bed Semi- detached in the area I live in, costs £1750/mth (£21,000/yr) to rent privately. How can many familes with children, afford that.

4.8 million Somalis are facing humanitarian needs today. Millions are confronting hunger, displacement, disease, malnutrition and homelessness, while the government whose constitutional mandate has expired has yet to present a credible national plan to address this emergency. This is beyond a humanitarian crisis, it is a failure of political priorities. The country needs leadership, accountability and an urgent national humanitarian response. Our people cannot wait any longer.

People simply cannot afford to pay. They also cannot afford a government that represents the interests of those who get rich from the crises ordinary people face. We need price caps on essentials like fuel and energy to stop profiteering, & then re-nationalise our energy!

This Australian man is making an urgent public plea, saying the country is rich in resources yet struggling under soaring fuel prices and rising living costs. Many families say they are being pushed to the breaking point because of their government. Frustration is rising, their One Nation is gaining momentum in the polls, and some Australians are calling for bold, outside the box leadership. This supporter is urging President Trump to take notice of the hardship many Australians say they’re facing and to understand the depth of their struggle. .President Donald J. Trump .Donald J. Trump

We’re at the High Court today to force the Government to make water companies take responsibility and stop the sewage scandal. How are we going to do it? Well, there’s an ancient legal doctrine that we’re looking to revive to hold the Government to account ⚖️

Let me translate what she is saying. Some Luo political brokers are busy chest-thumping and celebrating that Raila Odinga left them inside government, yet the ordinary Luo is trapped in poverty and hardship. She is asking a simple question: What is the benefit of being "in government" when parents cannot afford school fees for their children? What is the value of political appointments when families cannot put decent food on the table? While leaders boast about the broad-based government, many families are still surviving on the same diet day after day because they cannot afford alternatives. Villages still lack clean water. Many homes remain without electricity. Patients cannot afford medicine. Young people remain unemployed and hopeless. Meanwhile, Mbadi, Wandayi and Junet move around in helicopters, control huge budgets and enjoy the privileges of power. Their lives have changed. Their bank accounts have changed. Their status has changed. But has life changed for the ordinary Luo mother struggling to feed her children? Has it changed for the fisherman, the boda boda rider, the hawker, the unemployed graduate or the elderly person who cannot afford treatment? Political positions are not development. Government appointments are not food. Power in Nairobi means nothing if the people back home continue living in squalor. The true measure of leadership is not how many leaders occupy government offices. It is whether the lives of ordinary citizens become better. That is the question many people are now asking, and it deserves an honest answer.
