In advance of the parliamentary debates next week on the introduction of a means test for the Winter Fuel Payment, the House of Lords Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee has published its report on the regulations and does not pull its punches! 1/

The Social Security Advisory Committee is legally required to consider benefit regulations, usually in advance of them being laid before Parliament. But Ministers have chosen an urgency route which means SSAC scrutiny is retrospective. 5/

The Lords Committee has asked Department for Work and Pensions what would happen if SSAC's report was adverse, when it can only be published after the regulations have come into force. It seems statements would be laid before Parliament but it is unclear what practical impact they would have. 6/

To my fellow men who say #NotAllMen - what do you recommend doing when we are incontrovertibly, concretely, undeniably faced with #TooManyMen ? How do women know *which* men? It’s on us. Our move. What’s it going to be?

Barbara spoke to Anna Curran on BBC Radio Ulster today about how a lack of workplace support meant she had no option but to leave employment when caring for her son. This had a major impact on her career, her mental wellbeing and her family's finances. ⬇️ bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

I was curious about James' experience of No 10 as a 'weirdo and misfit' but do read to the end because his analysis of university research and UK approach to science and innovation is thought provoking.

When my little bro was a little kid he always had a stick with him..a sword, a wand, a staff, a broomstick..these sticks were very versatile for a LOTR obsessed kid. One day at my granny's he left one in a barrel of water that my granda collected to water the plants. 1/
