Wes, I think that's farmers who party work around the clock to keep this country safe
Defence Secretary Wes Streeting says the security services have "once again demonstrated that they work around the clock to keep this country safe".
His comments come after five men were arrested on suspicion of terror offences.

Hugely frustrating. Some of the worst customer and product service I've ever experienced. 10 weeks ago window on daughters @MotabilityOps car smashed. 6 cancelled appointments, 1 comedy replacement attempt with the wrong piece of glass, still not resolved. @Autoglass

Who remembers the YTS? when young people were taken on then kicked out after the employers stopped getting the government payments after 6 months? My PGCE dissertation decades ago centred on these failed incentives-recycling tory BS isnt the answer

Wonder if the work ops announced today for young people with disabilities have factored the support currently in our LA - refer by social care, then go on a waiting list, wait six months, hope you get to the top of list to even discuss what's available (mostly next to nothing)👇

When somebody you love depends on services getting things right, you can’t just shrug when they don’t.
So you ask again. You chase. You question something that doesn’t make sense. You remember what was agreed. You ask who made the decision and why.🪡

And then, somewhere along the way, we get called “difficult”.
But before you use that word, perhaps ask what happened first. How many emails went unanswered? How many plans changed? How many promises weren’t followed through?🪡

24/7 caring is killing me. I have a massive white streak in my hair.
I can’t work, my home isn’t my own, I’m always on duty.
For 50% of CA each week as I’m on UC, because I can’t work, because I’m a 24/7 carer.
Make it make sense.

I was a Pinball in the late 70s on £19.50 a week , it was slave labour on how we were treated, while al thel other staff sniggered at us, on the chores we were given as a shop assistant, power & control is a terrible thing . piped.video/Z0t3QQQ_YC4?si=I-U1…

How's this scheme working so far? ''From tomorrow (Tuesday 30 June 2026) businesses can access the new Youth Jobs Grant, which will pay £3,000 for every eligible young person they hire – helping thousands more young people take their first step on the career ladder'' (UK gov)
