Ever had that feeling at the end of a gig or festival when you see the ground strewn with hundreds of crumpled plastic cups that it shouldn't be this way..? Ever been frustrated that every time you go to the bar, they give you a new cup, whether you like it or not..? It doesn't have to be this way... Every year UK music venues, festivals and sporting events collectively send millions - maybe even billions (there are no figures kept, unsurprisingly) - of plastic cups to landfill needlessly. Cups made in a far-away factory, transported long distances, only to ever be used once, for just a few minutes, before being thrown away, but which will remain in landfill sites for hundreds of years. A 2013 study found that one in six ­fish in UK waters contained plastics in their bodies. Every piece of plastic that has ever been made still exists as it takes 500 years for plastics to break down. The good news is that in the past year, many progressive venues and organisations, including Glastonbury Festival, Primavera Festival and The Oval Cricket Ground, have either gone plastic-free or started to introduce re-usable cup schemes, in an effort to reduce waste. There's no reason every other music and sporting event can't follow suit, and put an end to the great plastic waste madness, which has ultimately led to the Great Pacific garbage patch and even a prediction that (by weight) there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans by 2050. If venues and festival organisers won't do it voluntarily, then there must be legislation to help them do the right thing. We therefore demand, by law, a complete phasing out of single-use plastic at all major UK venues and events by 2020.

Most mainstream parties have campaigned against leaving the EU so it is not proper they carry on uninterrupted without seeking a new mandate. Indeed these parties have specifically warned against leaving the EU. In any case members of parliament with conscience could consistently vote to trigger a vote of no confidence in the government.

Tony Blair is working in the interests of the Labour Party. Tony Blair gave the Tory Party 2 land slide election victories, whilst the current leadership, democratically elected, my be a A Dangerous Experiment, its a democratic experiment. Just because Blair has a different world view to Corbyn that is no grounds to slander him. Blair has a track record (for that period) Corbyn might be right for this time. The Electorate will choose. Splitting the Labour party is reminiscent of Brownites or Blarites. So we now have the Corbinites to divide the party. Blair wants a Labour Victory and feels there is a plan to go for the center ground which is a different plan to that or the left. Is the Labour Party a broad or Narrow church?

It is utterly immoral that one child can have more spent on their education in one year (£24000 at the most expensive public schools for non-boarding pupils) than is spent on another child for the whole of their secondary education (it can be as little as £4000 a year). I went to one of those expensive schools (albeit back in the 1970s) and have worked all my professional life in the state system. The unfairness of a society in which one school can barely fix a roof while another is busy putting in a second theatre or an olympic swimming pool. Why on earth do we tolerate it? It doesn't have to be this way. Finland, one of the top performing education systems in the world, has no private schools at all. For many successful systems private schooling is very unusual. We may not be able to shut private schools, but who could resist the moral case for a system where all children had the same money spent on them, to give them all the same start in life?
