Had a great chat with @thelegalamity this evening on an Instagram live surrounding disadvantaged backgrounds, struggles students face, how to mention this in applications and more. It’s been saved to their page if you want to check it out! 👊🏻
BREAKING: Colin, Cuthbert, Clyde, Cecil, Curly and Wiggles have agreed to establish a new Caterpillar ‘Super League’, with 3 more caterpillars expected to join.
10% of those who are white are disadvantaged (entitled to free school meals), and 40% of those who are black are disadvantaged. Clearly, more needs to be done.
The difference of £20 a week for a family could mean 10+ extra meals. It could mean the phone bill gets paid. It could mean the heating gets to stay on for a little longer in the winter.
Do not cut Universal Credit.
1.2 million people say it's 'very likely' they would have to turn to a foodbank if they were stripped of £20-a-week.
Rishi Sunak cannot cut Universal Credit.

Monti (aged 8) wrote to me asking if Father Christmas will be able to deliver presents this year 🎅🎁🎄
I've had lots of letters about this, so I have spoken with experts and can assure you that Father Christmas will be packing his sleigh and delivering presents this Christmas!

@MartinSLewis@itvMLshow What will this furlough pay be based on? 80% of your average earnings over the last few months, or 80% over the last year/pre 1st lockdown pay? It seems unclear. #MartinLewis
CONFIRMED: If you've been made redundant, you can be rehired and furloughed by your employer if you were employed as of 23 Sept, and on the payroll on or before 30 Oct.
It won't work for many, but many be worth asking for some.
