370,000 workers were paid less than the minimum wage in 2024 according to the Low Pay Commission. This is unacceptable.

The Fair Work Agency is about to be established – a new enforcement body for workers’ rights.

Are you a woman who cycles at night in Newcastle or has before?
A student from Newcastle Uni is looking to hear about your experiences as part of the research for their dissertation.
It would involve a 40 minute interview about your experiences

I spoke to a tenant today whose experience with her landlord brought tears to my eyes. I can still be shocked by the snide and nasty unnecessary things said by some landlords 😕

Local authorities who are desperate for housing enf staff need to start by reviewing some of these JDs they use
The task is now far too wide and there will be few people capable (let alone willing) to meet the requirements you're asking for. Some Lhas get zero applications from ads.

Shout out to all the local government officers working in West London right now. A very difficult day for many of you.

I don't think elected members know that legal depts dont authorise officers to do what elected members think is essential work. If you're an elected member with housing responsibility do make sure you ask the question? Are the officers authorised?

This is how privatization always ends up under the “new public management” cult - public service facilities run by hedge funds and vulture capitalists, extracting the maximum ‘rents’ from us, the taxpayers. www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/market...
Children's homes run by private equity rake in millions
The companies include outfits controlled by private equity firms, as well as the daughter of a former City stockbroker linked to fraud.

Six social rent bungalows with adaptions for disabled people on a patch of tarmac.

Who could object to that?

Well apparently it has been “the centre of the community for generations.”

And the Green Party don’t like it either.

Revisit completed. One category2 hazard now fixed, now there are 2 new category 2 hazards from 2 newly broken items. Readers, this is why cases take ages to close. Not all LHAs deal with category 2 hazards.

So what's my course of action? 🤨

If I didn't need a car for work I wouldn't buy one. No, most of us do not get essential car user allowance and in many councils this was withdrawn. I have to pay my own mileage.
