We're campaigning to demand that HMRC applies the law as it is written rather than giving special favours to some of the wealthiest people around.

I'm seeing an influx of people on my timeline testing positive for COVID-19 for the 1st time.
This means that even the most careful among us are getting it.
This says a lot about:
- current varients
- what happens when mitigation efforts are stigmatized by public health leaders

The whole disabled people shouldn't have kids conversation reminds me of how people say that poor people shouldn't have kids either.
It's eugenics.
Having money or being able bodied doesn't guarantee you'll be a good parent. It all depends on the individual.

Attended the aftermath of a badger digging incident on #Wirral this week, the first time in 14 years for me on our peninsula. It will not be tolerated. Badger baiters are cruel thugs who cause immense suffering to wildlife as well as their own dogs

If you don't think disabled people can be good parents, you are all kinds of wrong.
It doesn't matter if you're disabled or not, you're so wrong.
How do you not personally know a disabled parent?
Do you live alone in a cave?
Stop with the awful takes for no reason.

A Tory donor has admitted that the party is not fit to run the country - saying the UK is now on the path to being the "sick man of Europe". In a scathing assessment of the Tory record in power, Guy Hands warned Britain might need a bailout from the IMF.

But Lucy is what happens when you make instrumental tuition available to disadvantaged children.

So disingenuous. Not a penny was put in budget for making it a policing priority, it's just words. The announcement today is from a review started 2 years ago when he wasn't PM and was driven by two bereaved mothers he doesn't bother to mention nor has he met. Top priority bab

Last month I pledged to make tackling violence against woman and girls a national police priority.
That includes the most extreme cases where women are killed in their own home.
New laws today mean more violent criminals are brought to justice and spend longer behind bars. twitter.com/DominicRaab/st…

After 13 years of Conservative rule, one in six hospital patients, or 13,000 in total in England, are fit for discharge, but have nowhere to go or no care package to support them. This is a very long-standing problem which the government has singularly failed to fix . Why not?

A sad state of affairs, highlighted in the @bmj_latest by @medjourno1.
A problem not just affecting England, & multifactorial in nature.
Many of these people are in their #Last1000Days. Although described as “medically fit”, it’s a bit of a misnomer as they’re often unstable.
