Plan to scrap two-child benefit cap ‘dead’ after welfare retreat
A calamitous week for Keir Starmer’s government is said to have rendered the proposal, which would have cost £3.4 billion, unfeasible

Every1's a Winner by Hot Chocolate has my favourite riff of any song ever. it's so simple but it has a sort of crunchy but velvety texture only it's burning around the edges. that guitar was on fire for sure.

Today I got my COVID booster. The walk-in vaccine clinic turned away a carer with COPD, saying that the NHS is only giving the free vaccine to people on immunosuppressant medication. So people with lung disease aren't vulnerable to SARS now?? That's their line. Cool cool cool cool cool 🫠

😷 Face masks could be BANNED AT PROTESTS under Gov’s new Crime and Policing Bill
Sound familiar?
That’s because Rishi Sunak’s Gov tried to introduce the same thing last year!

Hi everyone,
We aren’t receiving funds quickly enough for our current spending. Remember: if we do not raise enough, we will have to potentially cut thousands of people off from the Internet, during Ramadan. Let’s not let this happen.

Many healthcare staff are suffering long covid, there is no testing in care homes. Vaccines to the majority of vulnerable have ended. We need clean air and better infection control in healthcare. Please help get this petition up to the crucial 10k mark 🙏

For anyone confused about UK gov’s refusal to take on board science on COVID and Long COVID: it’s deliberate. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be able to trash the disability benefits system—and disabled people—further. Which is one of their top agenda items.

Hey Siri,
Create a plan that alienates supporters—from the left-wing press to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, and the Citizens Advice Bureau—while failing to win over Tory voters or the right-wing press. And make sure it targets the most vulnerable, already using food banks at record levels.

re. that Guardian article, I hate this psychologising tone I keep seeing, when social exclusion of CEV and immunocompromised people is mentioned. We don't 'feel' excluded, we don't have access to public space or recourse to the rights we have to go there to exercise.
