5 million people are in a negative budget, where their income can’t cover their basic essentials. The new government needs to start work quickly on policies to pull people out of the red. Bringing these numbers down will be a measure of their success.

The new govt has a chance to act in its first Budget - a good start would be easing UC deductions for debt payments + the benefit cap, esp when so much goes back to the DWP itself. When UC is patently not enough to begin with, let's stop clawing £ back: mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

It's kind of fitting that they can't get a waxwork to look like Sinead O'Connor given that her biggest hit was Nothing Compares 2 U

People of colour still paying more for car insurance than white people. People in debt also paying much more. Like it or not, driving is a practical necessity for millions. Insurance needs to be affordable, underpinned by fair pricing.

Dismayed to see this. A huge blow for people who rely on help from Citizens Advice Sunderland, as well as staff and volunteers.

Been a while since I last went on a peaceful anticapitalist demo, but I well remember what the policing was like. Now we've got far-right thugs smashing up mosques and they are making like *four* arrests. Seems kind of hard to reconcile.

.BBC insisting on reporting racist rioters as 'protestors' and 'demonstrators' is a gross misrepresentation of the violence impacting communities of colour across the UK. Language matters.
