I’d assume this high percentage is at least in part influenced by the Legal Aid criteria?

My kids are in that photo and can confirm that neither the almost 8-year-old or 4-year-old will agree to a home game without a trip to the big M&S for snacks and a magazine (£££). Awkward as we now have season tickets.

Only half an hour from Newquay Airport! I am bang up for it if I can make it work.

Never mind this Jim, find out what’s happening with Hinsh. This is your time to shine.

One of my biggest bugbears about the entire welfare system is that under 25s get less Universal Credit than 25+. Life is no less expensive for someone trying to make it on their own at 21, than it is for someone who is 26. Especially when it affects single parents.

I see a lot of this as a benefits adviser in an area where a lot of clients have worked in manufacturing. I read decision letters telling them they’d be able to do work from home desk jobs. With no qualifications and sometimes no English either.

I was terrified of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and in particular, Turkish Delight. See also The Witches, which gave me nightmares for ages. 🀑

I managed to avoid this for a few years by never sending either of them to nursery on a Thursday, but alas, now both at school and dressed up as Zog and Matilda.

Say it. πŸ˜‚ I spoke about crying in a toilet after getting the Ofsted call and I got the training contract I was interviewing for. πŸ˜…

A nice little rule they brought in for UC is that DWP can claim back any overpayment even when it is entirely their own fault.

I’ve always found it a huge slap in the face that there is anyone teaching without QTS. Other regulated professions don’t stand for it. If they want to teach then get the qualification like the rest of us did.

I don’t know what the plans are but if she’s mad about it then they sound great.

Policy Exchange seems to describe itself as an educational charity so I imagine they are claiming their main purpose is education and policy change is ancillary. Skating on thin ice though, you would think!

Any sizeable charity will have a Policy team whose objective is to bring about some kind of strategic change, which is acceptable as long as it’s ancillary to the main purpose. Eg Trussell Trust campaigns for uplift in Universal Credit but main purpose is to provide food support.

Disgusting behaviour. Councils usually find tenants intentionally homeless when they don’t wait for a court-ordered eviction after a s21 by the way.

I couldn’t care less. I cannot believe what a fuss this has caused.
