Only a Tory minister would come up with that statement. It shows their complete ignorance of how the system works. They have never had to survive on the minimum wage. The fact that some of claimants work tells one how poorly they are paid so working an extra 2 hours is stupid

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

UK Tory minister says Universal Credit claimants can recoup their £20-a-week benefit cut by working just 2 extra hours. No. There is a taper and some claimants will only take home £2.24 an hour.
Normal people's world is alien to billionaire ministers.

📢 Scottish Labour calls on the SNP and Scottish Greens to oppose the new Cambo oilfield.

🌱 Every effort must be made to prioritise a worker-led just transition and build a greener and fairer economy.

❌ Help @StopCambo before it’s too late.

On this day, 12 September 1977, Dr Steve Biko was murdered by the Apartheid Security Police. He was found naked and shackled on a hospital floor in Pretoria. We remember his life today.

The SNP and the Greens have jettisoned their principles.

We have not.

We need real action to get this pandemic back under control, not rushed and half-baked plans.

Forming bridges with their bodies to overcome spatial obstacles and ensure group success, collaboration among ants is remarkable. For a great study on how activities of individual ants explain the elasticity, flow, and shear thinning of #ant aggregations: https://t.co/suvgmQlQlP

If the case is so strong why lie?

The NHS is already independent in Scotland.

Its budget is set by the SNP Government.

Its priorities are set by the SNP Government.

Its overseen by the SNP Government.

Explain that to the 600,000 Scots on waiting lists (450,000 pre-pandemic).

Had a look at the churchhill foundation and i am sure they do some great work but I was surprised to see guys with guns and shooting challenges not something to endear me to applying to the charity plus it looks like it is only for England anyway

[Danielle Rowley @DaniRowley]

Of course charities have values at their core, and fight various injustices & inequalities daily. They don't exist to just give hand outs, nod along and be bound by Government.

Not sure Oliver Dowden is qualified to lecture charities on delivering change.

All this because a charity i had never heard of just took Winston out of its branding. I am sure its mission statement and values remain the same. I would have thought there were more newsworthy stories to report than to demean the good works done by charities.

On the Labour Party, Benn argued

“The Labour movement and the Labour Party are the only routes to power for people without wealth or influence”

“We must be a campaigning party, winning by persuasion”

[Richard Leonard @LabourRichard]

The absence of good quality, affordable social housing is denying people across Scotland the chance of a decent home reports @shelterscotland. Scot Govt "will now consider" producing an annual Housing and Social Justice Report to measure if housing needs are rising or falling.

[Kevin Maguire @Kevin_Maguire]

Johnson’s double-whammy: So low paid workers will lose £20 a week Universal Credit and pay more National Insurance.

That’s pushing down not levelling up

Good God. SNP making policy by live googling in Parliament. This is no way to make laws that will impact millions of people. Farcical.

Quite clearly the answer is no, there is not a single definition of what a 'nightclub' is...
