@xevekiah My answer "Its ok, I only need £3 million"

I had a job interview yesterday. The employer only had one brutal question. “The person you’ll be replacing in this position was proven to have stolen 4.5 million. How can you prove to us that you won’t do the same thing?” My brain literally froze for a few seconds. Just as I was about to answer, someone called him, family emergency. Apparently his child got into an accident. Then he told me, “I’ll see you on Sunday instead, 1 PM. Same question.” Okay. At least I still have time to review.😁

@JamesMacauley01 @DarrylMcGarvey @BladeoftheS If you are a single parent, then the cost of childcare sometimes means you can only afford to work part-time

@DarrylMcGarvey @BladeoftheS Surely if you work part time, you should expect to be paid part time. Why should UC apply here?

Tesco makes nearly £4bn profit. Nearly 50% of its workforce are on Universal Credit, receiving about £600m a year. Why isn't Tesco paying?
