I do agree Winter Fuel Payment must be more targeted. Hopefully the Household Support Fund given out by councils will also be more targeted and less of a postcode lottery, as it could offer energy support to older people who are just over the threshold for Pension Credit
So, the PIP reforms consultation is over (as of 11.59pm last night). What do people think should/will happen next? birminghammail.co.uk/news/cost-of-l…
Not convinced by calls to lift the two-child cap on Universal Credit. That would make welfare, not work, a solution to family budgeting (and family planning). It feels like oppositional politics, not a common-sense solution @bphillipsonMP @leicesterliz birminghammail.co.uk/news/cost-of-l…
Much as I want UK to do well at Eurovision, our choice of Olly Alexander singing while crashing around inside a box isn't going to produce outstanding live vocals. Dodgy sound all round at SemiFinals 1, hope it's better for SemiFinals2 and Grand Finals... birminghammail.co.uk/news/showbiz-t…

DWP wants to overhaul PIP benefit with proposals including 'a formal diagnosis by a medical expert should be a requirement'. So what on earth has been happening until now? You can just say you're ill/disabled with no actual evidence or diagnosis???? birminghammail.co.uk/news/cost-of-l…

So, this appalling Post Office scandal. 736 staff were wrongly convicted of theft, false accounting and fraud. And yet no alarm bells rang early on - say, after the first 50 or 100 or so cases - that it’s highly unlikely so much fraud was actually going on? Really?
I'm sure many of us are guilty of this birminghammail.co.uk/news/cost-of-l…
People are seemingly going to Stonehenge at the wrong time! Makes sense that they’d be going at sunset and praying and hoping the sun would come back after disappearing at end of the shortest day. shar.es/agWcp5
