@teamlabouruk.bsky.social might want to give my MP Peter Kyle a heads up on this one before the next election. He’s pissed off a lot of constituents with his position on AI (large creative industry in B&H) and on welfare cuts, with an active Green Party locally he could be in trouble.

One of the people killed by Soldier F was a man who stepped out to help another of his victims as he lay dying in the street. He waved a white handkerchief as he did so. Soldier F shot him in the head. His name was Barney McGuigan and today his family had to listen to a judge acquit his killer.

The typical pensioner and typical child’s household income were once very similar, but have diverged.
In cash terms, the equivalised household income gap between pensioners and children has grown from roughly zero in the early 2000s to over £5,000 by 2023-24 and potentially over £7,000 by 2029-30.

If someone loses higher rate care PIP their family carer loses Carer’s allowance. The Carer will be required to work 30hours a week. The person they care for will require paid for carers, this will cost the state more than the PIP and CA. Make it make sense.
“From November 2026, people would need to score a minimum of four points in at least one daily activity to qualify. Needing help to get in or out of the shower, or supervision to use the toilet are measures that don't meet this threshold”

In fact, should the Government continue with existing policy, our projections suggest child
