King Charles' personal wealth has jumped to equal former prime minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty, according to the latest Sunday Times Rich List.
So why the need for the Sovereign Grant? Deep pockets Charles, maintain your own homes and staff with them.

‘We welcome migrants.'
‘We don’t scapegoat them. Low wages, poor housing, poor public services are not the fault of migrants and people who’ve come here'
‘So we have to make the case for the benefits of migration, the benefits of free movement.’
Starmer 2020.
What a charlatan.

Labour has launched a new cost-cutting drive aimed at Access to Work, which insiders fear could destroy the scheme and lead to disabled people being forced to quit their jobs.
Access to work provides support to stay in work, pushing Disabled people of PIP into work with reduced support is absurd!

Another reminder that Labour is determined to destroy social care in the UK.
Care workers from overseas WANT to work in care. This fantasy that we can magically summon up & train home grown care workers to fill the void is utterly incredulous.
MPs are thick as mince.

Cost of Hunger and Hardship - final report | Trussell
This is the second and final report from our research exploring the scale and cost of hunger and hardship in the UK.
The @trusselluk.bsky.social have released their latest report called "Cost of Hunger and Hardship" which shows that ending hunger and hardship is not only a moral imperative, but would have substantial benefits for society, the economy and the public purse!

My photo around the reality of disability food poverty has been shortlisted for the world food photography awards 2025.
Shot in B\W on iPhone, old wheelchair dismantled and placed against food bank shelves.
Poverty is a reality, poverty is a political choice, we must not accept it.

What Keir Starmer said and ...
“I’m a socialist”
“Broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden”
"Don't care if I sound like a conservative"
We got: Two-child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut, Frozen tax thresholds, disability benefit cuts.
Labour needs to be party of the working class.

If you're struggling with the day today, just spare a thought to both Disabled people and migrants who, without evidence or care, are being blamed for everything wrong in this awful, awful country right now.

Cutting disability benefits is a major public health risk, says Centre for Mental Health - Centre for Mental Health
Reducing access to benefits will put people’s mental health at risk and will be a false economy for the Government.
New: “Reducing entitlements to disability or incapacity benefits will do nothing to raise living standards or help more people into employment.” — Andy Bell, Chief Executive of Centre for Mental Health tinyurl.com/m4fk4ep9

Welfare cuts are a political choice.
685,500 Britons (1%) have wealth of £2.8trn. 48m (70%) have £2.4trn.
Richest four have more wealth than 20m people combined.
Govt could have taxed the rich, chose to cut benefits of the disabled/poor.
Not acceptable. Tell your MP to oppose the cuts.

The Department for Work and Pensions assessment of the benefit cutting plans shows that they will push an additional 250,000 people into poverty, including 50,000 children – and some experts claim even this is an underestimate.
There is also NO evidence welfare cuts will get more people into work.
