From April, we're raising the National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage.
The cost of living is the number one issue people are facing, with too many struggling to make ends meet.
I am determined to tackle it.
@Ed_Miliband You literally believe your own lies! Brush the straight jacket off and get in the bin beaker! You are toying with people’s lives for your own self gratitude!
3/ Taking back control of our energy with homegrown clean power is the only way to get off the fossil fuel rollercoaster and bring down bills for good.
The opponents of clean power would leave the UK exposed to higher prices for longer - this Government won’t let that happen.
1/ Energy bills remain too high for families - that is why this Government is taking urgent action to help people with their energy bills.
This winter, one in five families will get the £150 off their bills through the Warm Home Discount.
Due to bad weather, there has been numerous reports of flooding across the UK. This situation has been made significantly worse by the lack of regular street drainage cleaning and reductions in river dredging and river flood defences. We are paying our taxes for what exactly?
@BFC_Zoe@JamesMelville@LibDems@EastCambs A broom! Have you ever lifted a storm drain man hole that hasn’t been touched in probably decades? It’s a little beyond a broom unfortunately. These need properly cleaning out and yes I could do it…. But it’s not what I pay my road tax and council tax for
@Keith_Harrison2@JamesMelville@LibDems@EastCambs Go outside with a broom and clear them, it’ll take a couple of minutes and you’ll be happier for it. Some things you (or someone able bodied if you’re not) can just do yourself without having to call someone out to do it for you.
@Jenny_1884 The best teaching they’ll get is from small companies with one on one tuition but the colleges are shit, the minimum wage is too high for small companies as we have to suck that up, adding more jobs to our days to cover their wage, and finding a good kid is rare!
