"My father died and we weren't able to touch him, while this government partied," Naomi Smith is on Bluesky says in response to the claim that #Partygate doesn't matter. "We all have our stories. I'm not going to parade that. It's not a rational way of deciding," replies Guto Harri. Wow. ~AA

Pls DON'T let this be true. It reports HM Treasury plans to shelve much needed, called for & worked on plans (by Which?, Financial Conduct Authority, CitizensAdvice & til now govt itself) to regulate Buy Now Pay Later Why'd it not regulate the UKs fasted growing form of debt, with billions lent?

Very moving 3-way (video) discussion with Julia and Phil, on our Poverty Truth Commission journey. I feel so proud of what everyone, together, has achieved. Trust, relationships and a shared focus on wanting to change the 'burden" is how it should be. Morecambe Bay Poverty Truth Commission

Poverty cripples the life chances of vast numbers,trite phrases like “Closing the gap” belittle the everyday experience of poverty it’s not a gap,its a chasm that swallows the potential of people whole.This is a national disgrace diminishing our humanity and nation’s potential.
