Hi @ShabanaMahmood husband and I will both take ยฃ40k and we will happily leave this shit show of a country. Where can I send my bank details or will you be sending a cheque?
Dear @Ocado I seem to be stuck in a loop of texts offering me money off my first shop. Whilst I would love to have money off my shopping, you deliver my shopping every week. If I reply STOP does this mean I won't get delivery updates?
Is there really the need for all the swearing on #StandUp2Cancer ? Just feels really forced, like when your dad tries to be cool and says the latest slang
@PhilMyers53 If we have 10 years of labour there will be nothing left. For someone who had always voted Labour up until the last election where I could see how weak of a leader he was i tapped out, dont know who I'll vote for next but 100% will never be Labour again
Im a mum of 6 and im currently on benefits, (hopefully not for much longer and should hopefully be back on my feet shortly) but I just wanted to give my opinion on the budget.
The 2 child benefit cap should NOT be removed. I get financial support for 2 of my 6 kids and I can tell you now none of my kids go without food, gas or electric.
They all have nice clothes and school trips paid.
All get christmas and birthday presents.
They do not go without.
Yes its not always easy, but its not supposed to be because its not supposed to be long term and you should be better off in work than on benefits.
The 2 child cap does not keep children in poverty.
Irresponsible spending from parents do. Giving more money wont change that.
It will also take away insentive for people to get back into work because now large families will be worse off with 2 parents working than they would being out of work on benefits.
Support should of gone to working families on the lowest wage, not out of work families.
We are going to see a huge rise in unemployment off of the back of this.
@UKLabour 1. Not every working person gets the train.
2. Those working people with electric cars are worse off
3. ยฃ150 off energy really? Well done?
4. Minimum wage going up means naff all if businesses aren't growing/hiring
4a. You earn more money on benefits
5. Call a general election
@LoomesTany23751@malonebarry Children need clothes and toys but ultimately it should be about ensuring they are fed. A voucher system would ensure this. So many adults are useless with money and by saying here is the money for food it removes any concerns its being misused.
