What a great day I have had in #Liverpool today. Great music and dancing with the Polish Community; a discussion of the future of the Community Centre on #PennyLane and it's Beatles Heritage then on to a Ukraine Festival. Liverpool is blessed to be at the heart of such international talent.

What’s our fascination with accumulating money and stuff?
Why do we need so much stuff at Christmas much of which ends up in charity shops and landfill?

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Every planning committee developers propose the building of more 1 and 2 bed apartments. These do nothing to ease our housing crisis of 14,500 and 1,400 in temporary accommodation plus untold numbers of sofa surfers. That is why Lib Dems will build council houses.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.
