Kevin Maguire on scrapping the 2 child benefit cap: "It is better for the country.. they'll do better at school & they'll become more productive adults in later years"

Kevin is right, child poverty impacts on economic chances in later life (it also affects health outcomes too)

This is MY GP, it’s here for me

Out for a run this morning I thought I’d show my appreciation for this GP practice

It has been there for me this year. I’ve needed 4 GP consults, 3 nurse appointments, a referral, 3 hospital letters responded to, blood test, 10 prescriptions

All that for less £150

YOUR GP - HERE FOR YOU - A NEW CONTRACT

It’s time for a new contract between you, your GP & the Government

For too long GP have been restricted in providing care by top down contracts with limited funding, which don’t put patients first

GPs need your support in providing this

Brexit has cost each and every one of us £3,700 a year.

But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes.

My message ahead of the Budget: Stop blaming Brexit and start fixing it!

Imagine coming up with a proposal so stupid, so unworkable, so thoughtless, that it makes Robert Jenrick look sane by comparison.

My mum ordered a new freezer from AO and when the delivery van came, it did not have a tail lift - apparently the company won't pay for them

The two guys were expected to lift freezers, washing machines etc off the back of the van themselves...which does not seem safe

This guy can GTFO
There's an advert on his website for a 'Depot Supervisor' that pays £12.75 an hour for shift work.
If he wants to reduce welfare spending maybe he should pay staff enough that they don't need in-work benefits.

A billion-pound jump in gambling income in a single year is not a success story — it’s a warning. We need stronger taxes and urgent action to protect people from an industry built on addiction.

Well done to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for pointing out economists aren't impartial arbiters of truth but are often protecting power & wealth

@zackpolanski.bsky.social wants to introduce a wealth tax of 1% on assets of over £10m & 2% on assets over £1bn & if the super rich want to leave the UK because they are being taxed a tiny amount more then we should wave them goodbye

Thatcherite John Redwood says 1% isn't a tiny amount.
