@WomensBudgetGrp "Under the changes, parents who are the main carer will be expected to work 30 hours a week from when their youngest celebrates their third birthday. This is just under the 35 hours the government considers as full-time employment." Shocking.
So many great Burt Bacharach songs. RIP. Unquestionably one of the greatest songwriters.
This one, covered beautifully Lianne La Havas is probably my favourite.
#BurtBacharach RIP
Today nurses will stage the biggest strike in NHS history - as the government still refuses to talk about pay. Solidarity with all striking NHS workers this week! They care for us & keep us alive - they deserve fair pay & better working conditions. #RCNStrike#FairPayForNursing
Doing an experiment.
Some 316 MPs claimed their utility bills on expenses last year, with some members claiming more than £3,000 to cover their utilities.
Please retweet this if you think MPs should pay for their own gas and electric.
You're 23 (twenty-three) times more likely to be prosecuted for benefit than tax crime, even though tax fraud and error costs an estimated £20bn a year compared to £2bn in benefit fraud and error. (h/t @paulwaugh) https://t.co/AMtlDTQxVp

This is sexualised violence. Despising a woman you have never met & being kept awake by an urge to humiliate & attack her in a deeply sexualised manner is deranged. @JeremyClarkson should be arrested. @TheSun should be ashamed. I’ve complained to IPSO & so should you.
We welcome this research from @IPPR which provides further evidence of the universal benefits of investing in early education & childcare for parents, children and the economy.

The public sector educates us, treats our ill health, cares for our children & relatives as well as employing millions of us. More cuts to public sector pay will weaken the economy further just as 10 years of #Austerity made us underprepared for #COVID19.

The problems with the 'mini' budget are not limited to the 45% tax rate. We are still seeing the plan of cuts to spending on public services to pay for tax cuts
