The government plans to save £3bn by pushing disabled people into work. Worrying new evidence suggests that the survey data used exaggerates the numbers https://t.co/k4LOZZYodo #poverty #Disability

Vulnerable families fail to claim £23bn in social benefits that Parliament has decided they should have. How about a law to require DWP to ensure take-up is as high as possible, rather than the current hostile environment?https://t.co/ZMbI9p3wWg

@NerdishMum @PeterFBartram @RandomTTours Thanks very much!

[Peter Taylor-Gooby @PeterT_G]

@random_walker It's great for novels too. But try sentence by sentence back to front - you can't be swept along by the meaning.

[Peter Taylor-Gooby @PeterT_G]

@BenLeruth Well done!

[Peter Taylor-Gooby @PeterT_G]

@FantasyBookNerd @ZooloosBT @matadorbooks Thanks very much!

Absolutely! To disregard a crisis on this scale is shameful

[Child Poverty Action Group @CPAGUK]

Ministers must respond now to the scale of the current living costs crisis by committing to an increase in benefits in line with inflation from October. Promises on levelling up and education will go unmet while families don’t have enough money to live on. #QueensSpeech

"..the political intrigue of business against people, a thriller element and environmental issues. A tense story that I adored and I would definitely recommend." Goodreads review. https://t.co/78hxpbgL3l
