@Thehullboy1 Absolutely amazing, well done!! That is an incredible achievement and you've been fantastic at raising money for and awareness of mental health support ❤️💪
... then maybe it's because the companies that people spend their money in - supermarkets, utility providers, landlords - aren't paying their fair share and distrusting their wealth.
Politicians need to stop portraying benefit claimants as people who just take money #twochildcap
@LBC@IainDale whenever people talk about the cost of increasing benefits, they seem to be missing that benefit claimants tend to spend their money on food, clothes, bills, essentials etc. But if the Government isn't seeing the return of what should be a circular economy... 1/n
No party should have a majority, let alone a massive majority, on 34% of the vote.
Nearly two thirds of voters didn’t vote Labour but our system has given them total power
We need proportional representation right now. Join @TheGreenParty to fight for it https://t.co/TCfojo4LtW
#IVotedGreen because Greens are compassionate people who want to help those most vulnerable and improve the environment to protect everyone's future. They want to restore the NHS, provide better mental health support, and introduce a four day working week. #voteforabetterfuture
This is Frank and he has had a coffee stand at the top of the steps at Bethnal Green tube for as long as I can remember.
When the new restaurant/coffee shop next door opened along with another high street outlet opening across the street, Frank suddenly found that his license from the council had been revoked and he was chucked off his stand.
I believe it was to make way for these new shops to take his regular custom. They didn’t need him in the way of gaining maximum profit... so Frank was gone.
Well the locals were having none of it and a petition started demanding his return.
How dare they do this to him.
How dare these people smash his business and leave him with nothing.
After a lot of pressure the council backed down and Frank had his licence and pitch returned to him but sadly by that time Frank had sold his equipment to feed his family and try to survive.
So the good people of Bethnal Green started crowdfunding and here’s the result... Frank back in business on his old pitch with brand new equipment and even a little hut now to shelter him from the rain... Brilliant!!
He is truly the happiest man in East London and it’s wonderful to see.
It really does show that if we all stick together, stand up to them and just say no... the little guy can win.
If you’re in Bethnal Green come and have a coffee with this lovely man. 🧡
for maybe the last month my son has been asking for “pop pop”. every meal/snack he asks for pop pop. no idea what it was — tried popcorn, pasta, cereal. none of them pop pop. last night he found a pomegranate. we were like “is this pop pop?” and he made a sound of total triumph

@singinglandlord@MartinSLewis@TherealNihal Yes, £221.20 is the full State Pension amount at the amount, so if your forecast is saying you already have 35 full years of NI contributions, meaning you qualify for the full State Pension, then any years where you don't have full NI are irrelevant.
@andy69yp @MartinSLewis If you're still going to be working, or claiming benefits which pay NI credits, such as UC, Carer's Allowance, ESA, then you may not need to buy the year, if you'll likely reach 35 full years before you reach State Pension age.
