Pls share with anyone its relevant to A warning to those age 22 or under. You may have £2,000 in a Child Trust Fund. You can access it for free. Yet some firms are trying to charge you to get your own money. Don’t pay. Watch this instead…

Pleased to say it seems this is NOT happening. @Telegraph reporting Treasury has now ruled out getting rid of the council tax single person discount (having previously not ruled it out when asked) in the coming budget.

The MET office have issued a weather warning for ANOTHER MONTHS rain tomorrow. So after 24 hours where most of us have received 50mm plus tomorrow there could be the same! Severe flooding will be the result if this happens

We've allowed this to happen. It’s a cattle market where people believe they can get rich quick—and some do. It’s an open market where people are abusing the system, and our vulnerable children continue to suffer. #changeiscoming enough is enough. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…


A very interesting listen. @CllrDTaylor it might be of interest to you if you haven’t already listened.

This week, we're just looking at one story. And it's an important one. This is the story of private equity firms and sovereign wealth funds, directly making hundreds of millions of pounds off children's care, at the UK taxpayer's expense. open.spotify.com/episode/3z0Qqv…

Yesterday we met @PeterABedford MP to discuss how he and his team can support constituents living with and affected by #MND in his Mid Leicestershire constituency. Peter was particularly keen to hear about our work on the #WinterFuelPayment. Thank you Peter!

This afternoon I spoke in the opposition day debate on the Winter Fuel Payment. I voted against the Labour Government's appalling decision to withdraw this essential support for some of our most frail and vulnerable residents.

I left the care system at 16 in 1996. My experience was horrific—something out of a horror movie. I returned to the system in 2014, this time as a professional, only to find that nothing had changed.Our most vulnerable children and young people are treated like…

Domestic abusers will be freed under early-release programme. Two men who inflicted years of physical and mental abuse on their partners are among 1,700 prisoners to be released early from prison. Keir Starmer and the Labour Party must hang their heads in shame. Disgraceful.
