Lincoln City’s Stacey West Stand remains one of the most meaningful stands in English football. It is permanently named in memory of Imps supporters Bill Stacey and Jim West, who lost their lives alongside 54 Bradford City fans in the Valley Parade fire in 1985. ❤️👏

Supporting carers to stay in or return to work isn’t just good for carers, it’s good for the economy too. Our research with @StandardLifeUK found that supporting unpaid carers closest to the job market into employment could boost the UK economy and household incomes by up to £16.9bn a year. Supporting carers into work is an investment, not a cost. bit.ly/4xKBGFl
Lost labour of unpaid carers costs the UK up to £47.7bn, study finds

The hidden cost of care: unpaid carers shut out of work cost the UK £47.7bn a year. With the right support, everyone could benefit.

Britain's benefits culture has to change. If you can work but choose not to, taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for your lifestyle. New @Conservatives welfare policy will stop that.
