There's an advert on his website for a 'Depot Supervisor' that pays £12.75 an hour for shift work.
If he wants to reduce welfare spending maybe he should pay staff enough that they don't need in-work benefits.

The government’s decision to halve the time limit for refugees to leave Home Office accommodation is driving people into homelessness and exploitation, according to migrant rights campaigners and homelessness charities

New asylum policies making homeless refugees “targets for the far right”
Labour’s abrupt return to the 28-day move-on period is pushing vulnerable people into rough sleeping and exposing them to fraud and abuse.

A Rastafarian album of powerful spiritual music. If you like 70's Jamaican music & have never heard this, it's well worth checking out
Was a wonderful discovery for me back in the days of twitter. This CD copy comes with a second disc of Lloyd Charmers dubs

Of all the rampantly hostile anti-asylum policies Labour announced last week, their pretence at "safe routes" was among the most disingenuous. Having already closed core ones, they have spun out the existing community support scheme to be more limited, along with visas which are inaccessible.
In France, people still remain destitute, are still beaten, tear gassed & robbed by the French police, still have no hope but the idea that by risking their lives one more time, the UK will provide them the chance of a future.
And we still imagine we can make them disappear.

Can confirm...Cabaret Voltaire were brilliant again last night
Same set as Sheffield last month (not as LOUD), but nothing sounded quite the same somehow. Maybe that's just me, or maybe it was the mix, but great to hear the songs getting a new life...
