Put's things in to perspective. This is a lot of people!
And with the other measures Labour are introducing to help feed children or support families with costs, it's not wonder they are on course to lift more children out of poverty in a single Parliament than we've ever seen before!

Look, I’m a union MP. I want the employment rights bill in full. But I am also a pragmatist. Unions sat round the table with business and ministers and hammered out a compromise which means protections from unfair dismissal come in from six months not two years and we get Royal Assent by Christmas

Just watched this episode of Pete Wicks: Man Made, with Keir Starmer.
In the episode he’s asked some difficult questions, including about his family, but he's quite open and thoughtful throughout.
Fundamentally, he's a good man with deeply ingrained principles, and this is why I'm pleased he's PM.

Being in employment can cut reoffending rates by 10 percentage points. Some employers in the scheme are offering tailored training to help with this.
The Prison Service is also launching a new job-marching tool to help prison leavers find jobs & support them through the application process.

Aye Starmer doesn’t stand up to Farage.
Starmer just called him spineless to his face in the commons
Slaughtered him for allowing racist comments from his party and doing nothing about it
But hey that’s not good enough for a lot of people so I wonder what you would do diplomatically.
Nothing is what

We finally have a govt that is getting on with the job, & those whom he replaced (both left & right) are obsessed with bringing it down.

The sad thing about it is that this predilection with PIP and WFP has actually scared some genuine claimants, with little or no evidence that it will effect them at all! All brought on by a bunch of politically motivated shit stirrers, who didn't care who got hurt in the process.
