We’ve been reporting on problems with the Mental Capacity Act for over a year. @wesstreeting has promised now the Act will be reviewed and reformed. None of this possible without the courage of people like Sally telling us their stories and the campaigning of Fiona Laskaris

BREAKING: Wife of Renee Good, Becca Good, has just released a statement. :

“First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family. This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind. In fact, kindness radiated out of her.

Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn’t wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine. Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow.

Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole. Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles.

What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy. And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever. We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine. On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns.

Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way.

We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee’s legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.”

Budget: Reeves denies breaking Labour manifesto promise as Badenoch calls for her resignation.

https://t.co/y2j8QqvN75

[Romilly Weeks @romillyweeks]

Kemi Badenoch’s attack on Rachel Reeves unusually personal “a woman wallowing in self pity…whining about mansplaining and misogyny” calls her “spineless shameless and completely aimless” Uncomfortable #Budget2025

[Romilly Weeks @romillyweeks]

Rachel Reeves face when Kemi Badenoch says she will go down in history as the country’s worst chancellor #Budget2025

[Romilly Weeks @romillyweeks]

Labour MPs delighted but this policy isn’t supported by the majority of the public

[Romilly Weeks @romillyweeks]

The chancellor makes lifting 2 child benefit cap personal “I came into politics because I believe every child has equal worth” #Budget2025

[Romilly Weeks @romillyweeks]

But she says she is making tax system fairer by increasing both basic and higher rate tax on property, savings and dividends

[Romilly Weeks @romillyweeks]

Chx confirms what we all know she’s freezing tax thresholds until 2030/31

[Romilly Weeks @romillyweeks]

Chx claims she will find 4.9bn in departmental efficiencies and 10bn a year in unpaid tax and fraud. Most chancellors promise these crackdowns few manage to deliver them
