38yrs in Social Housing now retired. Seen many struggle over the years, our welfare/benefits system could be better, without it many would be destitute.
Rhinos fans look out for Ben Sanderson, the son of Leeds RL '70s star Sammy Sanderson, at Sunday's Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon. Ben is wearing his dad's 1978 @TheChallengeCup Final shirt, fittingly with 7 on the back as he completes his 1st marathon in aid of @alzheimerssoc

@leedsrhinos@wetherbywhaler For us oldies who struggle, often can’t or difficult to get to matches anymore, we pay subscriptions to sky sports that helps to keep the game going, paying extra on You Tube is a no no, so will just have to listen live on radio Leeds, if on.
@Martin118498911@WASPI_Campaign@LucyMPowell@UKLabour Most knew of state pension age changes in 1993 having expected rises following 1970s sex discrimination legislation.
Historically women on average worked beyond state pension age until ages nearly equalising at 65.
Many low paid had little choice but work the extra yrs like men.
@HDragees@sueatcraven@Agent_Snark Sue is not a WASPI supporter never has been, thinking it & you being one highlights your flawed mentality.
Enjoy your day, don’t forget to block me too.
‘I was making 50 tackles a game but @leedsrhinos said: ‘Your attack’s not good enough, you’re not bringing enough pop in your carries, not making a dent in defences. There’s no point you being here’. I was naive. I just didn’t know enough about it. https://t.co/GEdTwzjiWV
@Pinarello_Pete@sueatcraven@BladeoftheS Copying a tweet without the one it was replying to & then running away like a scared rabbit, try taking a longer look to understand, if you think you can.
Sue may be 50s born but never supported WASPI another big error assumption for you.
Goodbye.
It is with much sadness that the club learned today of the passing of 1961 Championship winner Derek Hallas, who passed away yesterday, peacefully after a period of ill health. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time

Today would have been Mick Shoebottom's 80th birthday. One of the most gifted players of his generation, Mick's career was cruelly cut short by injury however he achieved so much and was posthumously inducted into the Leeds Rugby League Hall of Fame in 2022
Mansion House speech: Council pension reforms must ensure staff voices are heard, says UNISON
Commenting on chancellor of the exchequer @RachelReevesMP's speech, UNISON assistant general secretary Jon Richards:
"The government is right to focus on driving fairer economic growth across the UK. When it comes to proposed changes to the local government pension scheme (LGPS), the devil will be in the detail.
"It’s crucial the voices of scheme members – including council workers, school support staff and many others delivering public services – are central to any changes.
"Scheme members currently make up half of LGPS boards. A good level of accountability must be built into future governance arrangements.
"The LGPS exists to deliver the pensions promised to public sector employees. Any reforms must put their interests first, ensuring they have a decent income in retirement.
"Future LGPS investment decisions should be taken by independent accountable bodies focused on transparency and cost-effectiveness. That would deliver the chancellor’s plan to boost growth while ensuring the returns needed to fund people’s pensions."
