So sad to hear of the death of #DameMaggie. When I was leading @cssf_uk she came to one of our Galas and waited at the stage door to congratulate the children and young people who’d been performing. I’ll never forget their joy in that moment. What a star she was, in every sense.

Thank you @EdwardJDavey for raising that thousands of unpaid carers are having to repay very substantial Carer’s Allowance overpayments to the @DWPgovuk at the first #PMQs today. Carers, who need and deserve better, urgently need to see reform of Carer’s Allowance.

Teachers have told us they're having to keep children fed and help families keep a roof over their head
🗣️ To fix our public services the government must also set out a plan for tackling hardship 1/2

Tonight is the @ITV General Election debate.
As the election was called, seven million low income households were going without essentials like food, showers, toiletries and adequate clothing.
🗣️ We want to hear from our political leaders about how they plan to tackle hardship.
ALT It's time for our political leaders to tell us their plans to urgently tackle hardship.

🗣️ Almost two thirds of people in destitution live with a chronic health condition or disability. Cutting people’s eligibility for benefits won't help.
The PM's speech was an irresponsible war of words on people who already aren’t getting enough support.
