Every Little Helps - well done Tesco #workprogramme

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

@spscho once again thanks for engaging in the argument! We need to ensure our parliament is an option for everyone. Thank you.

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

@spscho any issue raising the very existence of interns in parliament is useful. Their existence isn't widely known outside of Westminster.

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

Would love to know what @TUCnews think of unpaid internships after all the noise they've made over #workfare. Been v quiet on issue so far!

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

Outrage at Back To Work scheme but what about unpaid internships? They have been going on for much longer without coverage! #workfare

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

Back To Work scheme lasts around 8 weeks whereas unpaid internships can last up to 12 months! What difference do critics of BTW scheme see?

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

Unions in uproar at govt's Back To Work scheme, where jobless get expenses & JSA for work experience but say nothing on unpaid internships!

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

@spscho thanks for the message. Any story raising awareness of the existence of interns in parliament has to be seen as a plus for the issue

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

#savetheintern raises awareness. It's about time the wider issue of unpaid interns was highlighted. Parliright.co.uk

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

#Nick Clegg admits he was 'wrong' not to pay his #interns. Parliament NEEDS to represent the whole of Britain - not just the well connected.

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

Promising meeting with former home sec Alan Johnson MP. Glad to have Mr Johnson supporting ParliRight and paid #internships.

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

Nick Clegg announces in the House that from today Lib Dems to pay interns.

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

Support social mobility at the heart of our democracy. http://www.parliright.co.uk/

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

'Social Mobility' is the phrase of the day in Westminster. Will this action on interns be seen in Parliament? http://bbc.in/gQS3uJ

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

Uni of Hull now rumoured to be latest to charge £9k. Let's not shut the door on social mobility. Support a fair deal, support ParliRight.

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

Uni of Manchester latest to announce £9,000 fees. Young people being hit hard from all directions. Support @ParliRight for a better deal!

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

Disappointing to see nothing about paid parliamentary #internships in the #budget. Always a long shot!

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

Did you know the Chancellor can drink whatever he wants during his speech, even alcohol? #bbcbudget

[ParliRight @ParliRight]

Osborne is out smiling with his brand new #budget box. Will there be an allowance to pay his and his colleagues #interns in #parliament?
