Jack Roworth@RoworthJack·
I applied for a job with Robert Jenrick, who, as many of you know, is my own MP. The role was for a Content Creator vacancy, and I genuinely believe my experience and skills were well suited to it. Did I expect to get the job? No, absolutely not. Did I want the job? It’s a mixed answer. Professionally, it would have been a great opportunity to develop my skills. Personally, I have fundamental disagreements with Robert Jenrick and the way he conducts politics. I’ve made those views clear to him directly and on this platform, and I stand by them. Applying for the role didn’t change my principles or my morals, and it certainly wouldn’t have changed them if I’d been offered the job. I still believed I was well suited to the role based on my experience and skills, and it’s not the only Content Creator or social media role I’ve applied for. What has disappointed me isn’t that I wasn’t offered the role. It’s that I haven’t received any response at all. Not even a courtesy email to say my application was unsuccessful. I think that’s disappointing, especially when you’re applying to work for your own MP, the person elected to represent you. Over the last 12 months, as many of you know, I’ve tried to contact Robert on a number of occasions about issues affecting me, other people and the wider community. I’ve often felt as though I’ve simply not been given any time whatsoever. This experience has only reinforced that feeling. I don’t expect special treatment. I simply expect the same courtesy I’d expect from any employer: a reply. Even if the answer is no, at least you’ve been told where you stand and it puts your mind at rest. This is one of the reasons I’ve consistently argued over the last year that employers who advertise jobs should be required to notify every applicant of the outcome. If they fail to do so, there should be consequences. People invest hours preparing CVs, writing cover letters and various other documents, only to be ignored. At a time when youth unemployment remains a serious issue, leaving applicants in the dark only adds to the frustration and uncertainty. It doesn’t take much to send a short email confirming the outcome. Separately, I’ve also contacted Robert Jenrick’s office to ask about obtaining another PMQs ticket, as I haven’t attended Prime Minister’s Questions for nearly a year. As many people know, the way to request a ticket is through your own MP. Once again, I’ve had no response at all. Even if there weren’t any tickets available, a simple reply saying, “Sorry, there aren’t any available,” would have been enough. Being left in the dark again is disappointing, and I don’t think that’s how constituents should be treated. For me, this is about something much bigger than one job application. It’s about professionalism, accountability and basic respect. Whether you’re applying for a job or contacting your elected representative, you deserve a response. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable expectation.

EXC: Officials have worked up plans for a new 1.8% income tax to fund Andy Burnham’s social care reforms. The Health Department is looking at proposals by Re:State, a Burnham-linked think tank, which suggests a new “social insurance” model. Civil servants commissioned expert advice on the idea after access talks with Burnham’s team. The plan would involve mandatory contributions on income over £6,240 for workers over the age of 34. The money would be invested and used to pay for the care of each cohort when they reach old age, and would be topped up by contributions from wealthier pensioners. No10 says Burnham won’t decide how to fund his plans until after an accelerated Casey review is published, but this idea is in the mix — alongside the “death tax” estate levy reported last week.

@AdamLiterally @PolitlcsUK Correct. However, Burnham did say he would work with other political leaders, which whether we like it for not Farage is one regardless if he is not an MP.

@PolitlcsUK I am not sure why Burnham didn't extend the invitation to all leaders from political parties ( including Farage, Lowe and Polanski ). It goes to show what Kemi Badenoch thinks of social care, sending in her lackey instead. We see how serious she takes this issue.

Dear Reform UK. Please could you provide us [the political public], a copy of your acceptable free speech guidance? It may help in any future mix-ups. For example: Reform councillor said they'd melt down Nigerian people to fill potholes — fine. Reform councillor shares a post calling for Natalie Fleet to be shot — fine. Reform councillor says he can't wait for Starmer to be hanging from a lamppost — fine. A man wearing a gallows humour T-shirt — not fine. You see where we find ourselves? You allow vile and rancid comments under the guise of Reform Free Speech™, but when you see a T-shirt with the word Nigel on it, you lose your shit. How do you even know it meant Farage? It could have been Havers or Mansell. If you could email me your guide forthwith, I'd be much obliged.

@bikkil19921 @SeeDeeMcLeod @WestminsterWAG @andyburnham You're the slow one, I think, mate. This house wasn't 900k 10 years ago. The stupid housing market has caused this. Ordinary families are finding themselves in houses this expensive now. Doesn't mean their disposable income is suddenly higher!

So much for @andyburnham being a ‘prime minister for everyone’ This will cripple ordinary families. £900k for three beds in shepherds bush is at the bottom end of the market. An equivalent rental is about 3-4k. These aren’t the super rich he’s punishing, it’s working families. People won’t be able to afford to live in their homes.

Ugh. Starting to like some of the things he's actually doing. As long as the noise around him remains just noise (like the LVT), then I could get on board with this.
