Englishman adopted by beautiful 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Slightly left of centre. Enjoy polite, friendly, and respectful debate but will try to avoid arguments (that’s for the other place). Apparently I’m egotistical for speaking up for men’s right to be a father to their kids.
Explorer. Love it.

So pleased the government has lifted the 2-child benefit cap.

Means ppl like this lady on STV news could now afford a 3rd, or perhaps even 4th, flat screen TV because it’s a tough life with only 2.

The YouGov poll puts rejoining 36% at strongly support and 20% support. So that’s 56% total.

I agree with the OP that rejoining would be the best/quickest route to addressing living standards which might then encourage more people to start families.

It has where I live (but then I know I’m very lucky to live where I do).

Fuel has dropped in price here without a shadow of doubt. Perhaps I’m just lucky.

It just so happens I took this pic this evening from my (soon-to-be) new patio.

A sunset over the Isle of Mull.

Just a wee introduction to Martha (on the chair) and Banjo. Both rescues from Romania and we love them dearly. ❤️
