Downing Street considers U-turn on cuts to benefits for disabled people
Controversial plans to cut personal independence payment (Pip) may be shelved after a tense cabinet meeting and backlash from Labour MPs
Downing Street considers U-turn on cuts to benefits for disabled people.

I always think 'oh I'll watch five minutes' and then end up loving this film. On repeat.
The Fleetwood Mac scene always gets me, great script, great comic acting, awesome music.

Arthur was the only good guy in #TheHoliday. Miles was as much a self obsessed narcissist as Jasper. He was also punching up. Iris deserved better.

I met some of Madness at the Drum Marathon at the Royal Court in Liverpool in the early 80s.
FABULOUS people.
For me they never surpassed One Step Beyond. Been doing that dance in my kitchen just now. #totp #madness #BBC4

There's, like, TWO Simply Red songs that I find GORGEOUS and this is one of them, his voice is beautiful.
