Disappointed at Labour win today But we were a strong 2nd & it was always going to be a difficult seat at a difficult time for @greenparty.org.uk It is now essential that @zackpolanski.bsky.social stays as leader. The media will say otherwise 'cos he scares them. That is why we love Zack & need him

Hoping for a green win in Holborn and St Pancras! The BBC have ignored it, hoping it might all go away and the rest of the media and their funders are terrified of possibly having to live in a fairer, greener society Vote 💚

Stopped using Blusky due to increasingly mad 🌎 But worrying news about swing to @reformparty_uk means I can't be silent. 90 years ago in the 30s my grandad went to fight Fascism in Spain. In the 40s he fought Fascism in Germany. That was when we knew this Fascist bigotry is evil. What went wrong?

I'm worried about talk on cuts to disability benefits from MPs who have no clue of the consequences. James Cartlidge; shadow defence sec on BBC this AM effectively saying people with Anxiety should toughen up. No understanding that Anxiety can cause severe physical symptoms, palpitations & fainting

Walking with the dog by the Levant mine after doing my shopping in St just which really is the first and last town in Cornwall. Excellent shops there which is great for me as I'm fed up with supermarkets

I watched the last 3 Peston's as bored. @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com had a lot of sensible stuff to say on why perceptions of politics are so bad. For once I agreed 100% V Simply: The system forces MPS to lie & everyone is floating about in their own social bubble...Including those on Peston.

Orflaith is sleeping. She's such a princess and doesn't like getting her paws muddy or her fur wet when we go out walking. She prefers sleeping! But Orflaith means golden princess, so she is just living up to her name.

No-one should be in debt for medical care. The UK have it sewn up though: If you are unlucky enough to get landed with a medical bill here, its most likely because you have no recourse to public funds..at which point bankruptcy or a (free) DRO, is an impossible luxury & even owing the NHS is a risk

You know what makes me angry about Britain trying to subjugate the Irish? its not the 12thc invasion. Its not the barbarity of Elizabeth 1's armies. Or the plantations. Its not the ethnic cleansing of Cromwell. Not the Wolfe Tone rising that saw our priests burned. The execution of Tone or Emmett

'Christmas made me ignore bills and get in debt – it's not worth it'

Shocking figures released today show one in four people across the UK will struggle to afford Christmas this year, and 1.5million people won't celebrate at all because of the cost

The Irish (usually) have a bit of sense & can generally be counted on to do better than the English bollixes in Whitehall (although I'm not so sure about Fine Gael) @sinnfein.bsky.social at least have a conscience

A Christmas gift for debt advisers.... I have heard that claimant names will soon be shown on CCJs on credit reports. For debt advisers this means no endless writing off to courts to find the name of a claimant so you can finalise your budget or complete a DRO.

Not been on here for a few days as we have a new dog rescued from a pound in Lancashire. We have called her Orflaith (pronounced OR-LAH). Over the last 5 days she has turned from a cowering skinny little thing in to a great big lump of a Staffy who is a proper princess! Pictures to follow

The recent DRO Unit update on Tobacco & Alcohol spending in a DRO, had debt advisers scratching their heads in confusion. Today it was clarified. It seems this expenditure can be included if client's total costs are within the SFS spending guidelines The guidance is here www.gov.uk/guidance/deb...

The benefits of Keir Starmer's plan for change must be felt by the worst off 📢 New research shows average disposable incomes for the bottom 40% will be £440 lower by 2029 than this year. Lowest-income households will be hit hardest. 1/6

Can't believe I'm still waiting for a Labour government to end the 2 child limit on UC/tax credits. &Still waiting for media to STOP calling it a "2 child benefit cap" Plz BBC etc; it's really dangerous to be sloppy reporting on benefit entitlement-ppl will stop claiming child ben for a 3rd child!

I'm looking at the new govt "welfare" plans. Are the new benefits laws going to help people that are seriously long term sick? Or just make them more unwell by pushing them in to jobs they can't do? As a "disabled" person in work, I totally support work where it can be managed. But not if it can't

I'm going to start off mildly and say that debt advice desperately needs more funding. Looking to start some conversations next week with the wider debt advice community on how we might achieve that.
