@GWRHelp - my partner is stuck at Reading after having to get off the Paddington to Worcester train. He hasn’t been told of a plan for onward travel and has been told you ‘might’ reimburse him for a taxi. Please advise as to the plan for customers stuck at Reading?

We have just realised that CLP opened 25 years ago today (and then only because a friend phoned up to wish us happy birthday) with one phone line between 7 of us and some broken furniture 🎉🎉🎉🎂🎂🎂#legalaidhousinglawyers

We have the same landlord as many of our clients. Also like many of them, we have a leaking roof. Please sort it out, @BhamCityCouncil

Today Nadine Dorries said she’s concerned about pressures “on the wallets of hardworking households”.

Nadine voted for:

🔨 A personal allowance freeze.
🔨 A public sector pay freeze.
🔨 A National Insurance rise.
🔨 A Universal Credit cut.
🔨 A council tax hike.

Shameless.

@bbc5live Please put forward some alternative views re sleep training! Parents are not failing if their babies aren't sleeping through the night, neither are the babies being manipulative! It's completely natural and normal for babies to wake for comfort.

"Open your eyes - there is very real poverty out there."

UN Special Rapporteur Philip Alston says there are people in the UK "living in destitution" and that "government people haven't been out in the field to see what the real circumstances are."

@StylistMagazine Good article but why didn't you show a photo of the Blood Normal campaign by Bodyform? Did @StylistMagazine shy away from this?

[CLP @clpsolicitors]

Thank you. We try to do what we can. https://t.co/hw3tBx0ShR

@MarcBayliss I haven't insulted anyone. I haven't read the report (I can't find it). Regardless, I think there are moral issues with voting for this

[38 Degrees @38degrees]

Rewriting laws without votes in parliament? That's how British laws could be decided when we Brexit. RETWEET so everyone knows!

[Fiona McGilvray @FiMcGilvray]

@MarcBayliss I haven't read the report yet. Just interested in light of austerity and recent local cuts.

[Fiona McGilvray @FiMcGilvray]

@MarcBayliss I haven't read the report. I just found it surprising in the current climate of austerity and bearing in mind recent local cuts.
