Totally heartbreaking. Remember, over ten billion was wasted, much of it with Tory donors, on PPE and we've yet to see even one prosecution. But if you're a cab driver and unlucky... theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

I'm glad we're talking about what this govt had done to the DWP. And what kind of work culture asks staff to destroy lives like this...and they just do it?

I mean, you don't need to imagine it. You can work it out in terms of hours worked by parents who get childcare, NHS money saved through early intervention or interventions prevented completely, improved early years outcomes etc

There is no point your nails whilst your kids are awake. The minute you finish your top coat they will, right on cue, do something that requires adressing immediately

The cruelty is built into the system and the joke is, it COSTS the govt money.

You won’t get very far in life if you’re embarrassed to be seen trying. What’s the worst that could happen? It flops? Ok, but did you die?
