Anyone who remembers the brutal WRAG cuts of April 2017 under the last govt will know why this research is important. Please share it with MPs + peers so ministers know the grim consequences of cutting out-of-work benefits for disabled people.

I’m starting Tuesday with Dvorak, his heart-felt cello concerto.
He was emphatic about its final shape, writing to his publisher, “I give you my work only if you will promise me that no one … shall make any alteration in it without my knowledge and permission.”

#Highlandcops #Iplayer Well it may just be me but do these beat-coppers up North come across as at least part-human?! Some fantastic scenery shots intertwined with some real tragic stories. The mountain rescue volunteers deserve high praise for sure. 😱👏👏
