Hey Girls… Wanna Talk About Period Poverty?

Homelessness, natural disasters and extreme poverty. All of these things have several impacts, with many charities working hard to provide food, bedding and other supplies.

Election Day: An interview with Ben Bradshaw MP

Ben Bradshaw has been Exeter’s MP for nineteen years; a staggering feat, not just because of Exeter’s past as a traditionally Conservative seat, but also because of the fact that Exeter is the last remaining non-Conservative seat in the South-West. Whilst Liberal fortresses such as Yeovil and former Labour battlegrounds such as Plymouth were swallowed whole […]
