@Margaret4DR @_MukhtarYusuf I’m so sorry, Margaret. Glenda was a brilliant woman; compassionate and feisty. She’ll be greatly missed. ❤️🌹

[Nicci Greenacre @NixG76]

Fuck sake. Do we really care about this? I’ve been longing for a Labour Gov for years and now it’s here and we’re chatting about Taylor Swift tickets…🙄

[Sam Coates Sky @SamCoatesSky]

So tickets are only declare if the value is over £300

Because other MPs were given the tickets direct, they got declared

But because the tickets went to Ed Balls, she only had to declare hers which they say was below the threshold

And comparing them to others, the Balls-Cooper Universal Music tickets were quite cheap tickets…

MPs that have declared Taylor Swift tickets

Ed Davey (£584) - LIB DEM
Bridget Phillipson (£522) - LAB
Catherine McKinnell (£2,000) - LAB
Wes Streeting (£1,160) - LAB
Keir Starmer (£4,000) - LAB
Darren Jones (£3,400) - LAB
Dan Carden (£900) - LAB
Kim Johnson (£900) - LAB
Ian Byrne (£900) - INDEPENDENT
Joe Morris (£1,660) - LAB
Chris Ward (£1,660) - LAB

More chance of me joining Oasis than securing tickets at this point 🙄

@Margaret4DR Congratulations, Margaret! Well deserved. Pleased for you and our Borough ❤️

[Nicci Greenacre @NixG76]

It’s not the perfect vote. It’s not yet promising the radical changes I think we need. But I do believe in my local candidate and we desperately need to #VoteTheToriesOut

If you don’t vote, you can’t complain. #GE2024

A reminder that our Chadwell Heath site is closed today for Polling. #GE24

[Barking Foodbank @Bfoodbank]

Our Chadwell Heath distribution centre at the URC, Mill Lane will be closed tomorrow 4 July for Polling Day.

[Nicci Greenacre @NixG76]

This.

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

❌ We NEVER want to see a sign like this ever again. ❌

The next government has the power to make that happen.

They can end the need for food banks.

[Big Issue @BigIssue]

There are more food banks in the UK than McDonald's. It's why the work doesn't stop after polling day. 🗳️

While the Big Issue is not aligned with any political party, we pledge to take those in charge to task and seek better. ✊

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

We’ve joined forces with @jrf_uk and over 200 organisations to send a letter to political leaders asking them to urgently set out a plan to tackle hardship in the UK.

We need all political parties to commit to building a future where everyone can afford #OurEssentials – and no one needs a food bank to survive. 💚

[Nicci Greenacre @NixG76]

“Volunteer burnout has become more and more prevalent,” Goodwin told Byline Times. “The relentlessness of trying to support people who are more often than not facing extreme hardship, that takes its own toll.”

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

It's time to call out these comments. When I started my career, the BBC called a programme I went on, about debt crisis "Hey Big Spender" - I objected. The biggest cause of debt crisis was change of circumstance.

Since we've had a pandemic, cost of living crisis, mental health crisis. People lose jobs, lose partners, lose legs. People get cancer, have mental health breakdowns, get disabilities that stop them working.

The idea that everyone can have enough saved to bring up a child when they have a child (ie £100,000s) is ludicrous. The idea that we should live in a society where there is no underlying support for people who need it, is dystopian.

While there will be a few who desire to be on benefits. I suspect its very much the minority. A huge chunk of those getting Universal Credit are IN WORK. A majority of those getting child benefit are IN WORK.

This was about a late payment for money many rely on. Show some bloody compassion!

[Nicci Greenacre @NixG76]

This! These are the things we need to hear about ⬇️

[Helen Barnard @Helen_Barnard]

Very useful campaign policy tracker. Depressing that so far no party has said anything about poverty, severe hardship, hunger, soaring food bank need. Should be a question all have to address - we want to see every party lay out their plan for urgent action & long-term change.
