On 28th October, the Government delivers its autumn Budget. It's one of the only moments each year when real money gets committed to real change. Can you email your MP and ask them to push The Chancellor to prioritise increasing paternity leave in this Budget? act.parentstrike.org/email-your-mp

Email your MP: back better paternity leave
Put pressure on the Government to act. It takes two minutes.

Aw, baby Chris! The only shocking thing about this is the £2 price rise from 96 to 97. Scandalous!

I am loving that La Voix is pushing hard to get the Strictly host job with absolutely no shame. I would definitely keep watching. #Strictly

With traveling to London every weekend for my PhD, the kids want to come too. We've come down together for half term. Night one: girl was sick in the air bnb. All over the bed, floor and her brother, who somehow was not woken up by the vomit pool around his head. Praying things get better from here!

I am having the best time coming to London every week learning research methodologies and listening to other people's research. I feel so at home at Guildhall in a way I never thought I would. I am however, glad I'm doing this now and not at 18 as I think the imposter syndrome would have consumed me

even left sympathisers somehow don’t know that you cannot apply for asylum in a country without actually crossing its borders first. Did you know that? You have to actually be at a country’s borders physically to ask for protection, you cannot ‘apply’ in a bourgeois manner to let you in beforehand

Definitely the first, but I have had to correct young people every time I teach Shakespeare, because they say the second. It's not a very common word unless you work in legal circles.

On the hunt for a new bank. Starling rejected my application for a joint account with my partner with no explanation. We also have businesses so need a place that will do all 3 types of account and is also not morally bankrupt. Any personal recommendations? #banking #ethicalbanking #businessbanking

That's a bodywarmer (or gilet if you are feeling posh). Out of interest, what is a wife-beater known as in a formal setting?

So, kicking of 2025 with a little 2 minute film we made last year. I'm enjoying just being creative for the fun of it, rather than the hope it might lead to something. Most of my work nowadays is on the trials and tribulations of motherhood. Noseblind - Sunday 5th Jan 8pm GMT youtu.be/GX32Jewap2g

My only new years resolution for 2025 is to prioritise rest. To not see it as wasted time if I need to go to bed at 7pm or bingewatch a series to recharge. The idea that I constantly need to be hustling has only led to me feeling burned out and worthless and I don't want to do it anymore.

My cousin's kid told people his grandad died rather than admit he was crying because his mum told him off. His parents were so confused by the sympathy messages. One mum thought she'd seen a ghost when grandad arrived to pick him up from school. Needless to say, the rouse did not last long.

I never got much interaction over there, but this thread hit hard. Section 21 notices are thankfully going to be banned early next year. Of course, this doesn't help the situation I was in as my landlord was selling the house (reformed section 8). Three years on, I still don't feel at home.
Back in August (while I was in hospital giving birth) we were served with a section 21 notice as our landlords decided to sell the house. Due to COVID, they had to give us four months – making our vacate by date 12th December. We decided we would try and buy the house ourselves.

And this is still true. I genuinely hope the renters reform bill improves the situation, but forgive me if I'm cynical about it.
The cost of moving is huge in time, money and emotions. The van hire, broadband installation, the time taken out of work to go to viewings, packing, unpacking, cleaning to get your deposit back. And in the case of #section21, none of that inconvenience is for your benefit.

I remember pretending to my daughter that moving to a new house was exciting. I remember her confusion when I showed her their new bedroom, which was half the size of their old one. She wasn't even 3 and she knew something was off.

We will manage. We have a healthy combined income - for the moment. But plenty don't.
I know this is very first world problems and we are coming at this from a place of privilege. We have to pay 6 months rent + deposit due to self employment. Thankfully, we can do that right now. How on Earth is a single parent on benefits supposed to cope with this situation?

Michelle Louise Taylor @mltvoice.com · 06/12/2024
I begrudged paying that extra £50 a month. Rent is increasing again in a few days, so that's 35% increase in 3 years. I know people have had it a lot worse, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about somehow finding an extra £1200 next year.
We are leaving a place 5mins from pre-school with a loft conversion office, conservatory and massive garden for a 2 up 2 down with an OK size yard 18mins walk from pre-school. Our rent will be £50 a month higher and there is nowhere to plumb in the dishwasher.

All was well and we did move in. It still feels temporary even though we've lived here longer than we lived in the home we were forced out of.
Thanks for all the support. It means a lot that so many people have shared our story. UPDATE: WE HAVE A HOUSE! Number 15 came through and all being well we get the keys on the 16th. It's a huge relief that we have somewhere to go, but I still wouldn't call this a happy ending...

I had promised that I was going to give myself a proper maternity leave second time around, but I spent the first four months of my son's life a stressed out nervous wreck. I hope the renter's reform bill has some impact, but I have a sneaking suspicion that we are going to see more of the same.
I just want to find a new house so that I can buy a Christmas tree and make things normal for my children. If you’ve actually read all this, well done and thank you.

I don’t really know what the purpose of this is. I just wanted to vent really but it gives an insight as to what is going on right now. There are a bunch of families being evicted with no social housing to turn to and are scrambling to snap up the few private rentals available.

Michelle Louise Taylor @mltvoice.com · 02/12/2024
Even when the section 21 ban comes into effect, we are still going to have this situation. Everyone I spoke to, the landlord was selling up. They will still be allowed to evict for this reason.
