Any update on the petition please Jo? 👍🏻
A wealthy society that forces people to choose between heating and eating is broken. It's a moral act, a moral imperative, to say so and by whatever means you can. Don't let anyone - not politicians, the media or even charities - tell you otherwise.
Latest calculation for the electricity and gas UK retail price cap is scary. Very, very scary.
Consultant @CornwallInsight puts the cap in October at £3,582 a year (up from £1,971 per year current). From January, it jumps to £4,266 per year.
UK government sleeping at the wheel.

Lord Denning’s statement on how an iconoclast reacts to long-held beliefs that work injustice: “ … he will see whether there is not some competing principle which can be applied in the case in hand. He will search the old cases and the writers old and new, until he finds it.” pic.twitter.com/BVyXfCnYMl
This feels wrong-headed to me. For sure some people won't pay but huge numbers just can't pay. If I led a debt-relief charity I'd be trying to help those who can't pay. And people showing solidarity, the won't pay people, may well be the solution. bigissue.com/news/social-ju…

At @GoodLawProject we will provide detailed legal support on how to deal with energy companies if you can't, or in solidarity won't, pay. No one should have to choose between heating and eating. Sign up for updates: actions.goodlawproject.org/fuel_poverty
The truth is, if one person doesn't pay their energy bill s/he has a problem. If a million people don't pay their energy bills the system has a problem. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

is entirely right to highlight the link here with govt weakening the ethical standards of lawyers within government. twitter.com/JolyonMaugham/… Govt lawyers play an essential role within govt, ensuring it acts lawfully. Weakening their role does enormous damage.

Heaven knows how much we've shelled out in subsidies to the government minister Richard Benyon and his family, paid by the hectare for his vast lands. In return we get "No Trespassing". It's fundamentally unjust. theguardian.com/environment/20…
“We already have laws to prevent cases that lack merit... What Raab seems to want is a world in which the government is above the law.” - @JolyonMaugham theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
Here is what Dominic Raab ("DPM") is considering. Government already spends like a sailor on shore leave to try and deter challenges. Really worrying that he is considering legislating to change the "intensity of review" (ie to make it even harder for Claimants to succeed). pic.twitter.com/hYxu3iu4jc

I'm sure this advice is well-intentioned. I'm not sure it's helpful or even accurate. What about people who can't pay? What can debt collection agencies *actually* do if a million people don't pay? theguardian.com/business/2022/… pic.twitter.com/r0DGag5K7L

Even if Johnson quits Parliament to try and avoid a Commons inquiry, @GoodLawProject will continue with its judicial review of the Met's inexplicable failure properly to investigate Partygate. There can't be special treatment for the powerful. theguardian.com/politics/2022/…

What the Empire was it was - let the historians argue about the past. But the Parthenon Marbles should be where they belong, in their culture and in their context. And you can't seriously argue that to be the British Museum. They should be in Greece. on.ft.com/3SvIu65
She doesn't have the powers to cut council tax. She can offer things like the Council Tax Freeze Grant like Eric Pickles did in the early austerity days & hope Councils accept.
interesting reasoning, not sure I agree with it, but then I’m not involved or at all knowledgeable. thanks for the answer and thanks for the work you do

Grim and unsurprising findings in latest @ONS household finance update. Proportions reporting increases in cost of living, reduced capacity to save and reduced capacity to meet emergency costs remain elevated. But upward drift in proportion using credit to cope is a big concern
We always suspected something underhand was happening. It’s why we launched a legal challenge over the formulas. Government denied it. Now here it is from the horse’s mouth. Beyond contempt. @GoodLawProject

Inquiry after 93-year-old man with one leg dies after being Tasered by police | “It is almost unconscionable to think of a highly vulnerable old man with dementia in a care home being subjected to such a use of force at the hands of the police.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/a…
I am so grateful to people who are being so incredibly supportive. I am also really conscious that many other women who aren't public aren't getting all of this love. The best way of supporting us is by supporting @GoodLawProject Without their intervention we'd still be in hell.
genuine curiosity: what convinced you not to publish their name?
