@UoL_OT @CduffDuff Thank you @CduffDuff for all your hard work and commitment in establishing and furthering the course, and for supporting past and present cohorts of OT's 💚 I'm sure you will be missed!

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!

@mrs_baking @TessaRDavis One of the 7 consultants said during the trial that in retrospect he wishes he had gone straight to the police (once they had been ignored on several occasions). Like others have Saif, huge personal consequences for not following "whistleblowing" procedure to the letter.

How wages have faired.

MPs: Pay ⬆️ 22% in real terms since 2010

Bankers: Bonuses ⬆️ 101% in cash terms since 2008

CEOs: Pay ⬆️ 23% in 2022 alone

Teachers: Pay 🔻 24% since 2010

Nurses: Pay 🔻 20% since 2010

Whose wages are causing the inflation?

@alligood77 @NOWTVHelp I watched one this morning, just went back on and not there. Thought I was going mad! What the???

Average house price today: £285,000
Average salary today: £26,000

Multiple : 11x

House price 1993: £56,500
Salary 1993: £17,800

Multiple : 3.2x

To those saying “oh we survived higher interest rates in the 90s” : YOUR house price was NOT 11 times your salary!

@leannevpenning If it's any consolation I got burnt yesterday! Just a base layer 😅

Opinion is (rightfully) divided on the #Coronation & the role of monarchy in 🇬🇧 in today’s modern age

BUT

I hope EVERYONE can appreciate the #CoronationConcert tonight included a deaf choir & a young autistic pianist who has severe learning disabilities
