Phil, simply Phil

Meet Nikki. She’s a mum in her fifties who came to see me. Since her job in a nursery became all too much, she’s started receiving universal credit. Without qualifications and, as she put it, being ‘no good at computers’, she's struggling to find another job. But that’s not why she came to speak to me. Her real worry was her son, Jack, who signed on the moment he turned 18. He's got autism and ADHD, but Nikki wants him to work. She's frustrated the state is paying him money to stay at home. She desperately wants the job centre to get on his case. But there’s no sign of that. So, Jack is literally left to his own devices, gaming in his bedroom most of the time. Who would want that life for their child? Stories like Jack's are increasingly common. It’s a disaster. Hundreds of thousands of young people are setting out on a life on benefits. Only the Conservatives have a detailed plan to put an end to this and help young people into work. We’ll halve National Insurance for employers hiring 21 to 24-year-olds, create 100,000 more apprenticeships, and introduce a Get to Work programme to stop young people going straight from education onto benefits.

Hopkins sat in a Car, with what seems to be a glass of Red Wine, it could be Cranberry Juice… who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️, that’s what I was focusing on and then she said something about another individual, boy she likes to sail close to the defamation wind 👀

Remember that “well-known” individual who was seeking a High Court injunction to stop ITN and The Guardian from naming him and publishing serious claims about his conduct over several years, including sexual misconduct? His lawyers argue publication could devastate him, citing two alleged suicide attempts, one in May and then again in July, on that occasion escaping from secure hospital to do so. But the media’s barrister says the allegations are credible, supported by more than 30 first-hand sources, and strongly in the public interest. The judge warned that allowing threats of suicide to prevent publication could set a precedent with almost limitless consequences. The individual denies the allegations. The case continues.
