Lord Offord talking out his 🍑 He's literally got no idea what he's talking about, maybe he should shut up & listen, he might actually learn something!

The migration from ESA to UC has increased the no. of people claiming UC health element, it's not rising uncontrollably FFS.

#Labour really should have been pushing the DWP to sort these figures out BEFORE they started attacking long term sick & disabled people!

This answers their "spiralling out of control" rhetoric and proves that things aren't as bad as they're trying to make out.

Bought some new cascade lights for our Christmas tree 🎄 You can sort of see them on the tree, but you can really see them in the reflection on my cabinet!

Don't normally looked at the Spotify Wrapped thing, but thought I would for a change...

Listening age 49 (only 1 yr off)

I've apparently spent less than 1 day using Spotify (hate the ads & not going to pay for it)

Top artist Olivia Rodrigo, I blame Glastonbury 😂

Shadow says "Morning" 👋 He's enjoying laying on the Christmas rug, when he's not trying to climb the Christmas tree 🎄😼

Hey Sarah, just saw your posts.

I just had a peek on their site from my phone. If you click on the 3 lines you can select which country you want items sent from.

For shipping, I would add one item at a time and check the price of shipping. They just quoted £56 shipping on £6 item, like sure 😂

It will all be broken down into different sections within her claim.

Rent £X
Basic rate £X
If she gets the health element £X

Basic rate will, once the changes are made, now include 3 'extra' children, but the £ is less for each child.

But there is an overall cap so she may not get the full ££.

This false narrative needs to be addressed.

The welfare budget has been stable for more than 10 years.

It is not spiralling out of control.

The main increases are for pensioners - if the state pension wasn't counted as a benefit, & it shouldn't be, the picture would be very different!

You've just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

My money would be on Shadow tripping me up going down the stairs 😂

When #Labour trot out how the welfare state is "spiralling out of control" 🙄 bear this in mind..

Welfare has been fairly stable for more than 10 years & has gone down.

A lot of the welfare budget is spent on pensions.

Families have had more cuts than pensioners & are more likely to be in poverty.

Well, this is where Shadow has decided to fall asleep tonight, completely wrapped around and on top of my head!! He loves his mumma 😻

Night everyone, hope you have a better sleep than I'm going to have 😴

Beautiful sky over Alnwick this evening, thankfully no more snow ❄️ (or so far at least), the sun came out and melted some of the snow, fully expecting it to be like an ice rink tomorrow ⛸️

Snowed overnight in NE66, this is quite a bit for us, but probably only a 3-4!!

Trying desperately to snow in NE66, not really laying though, it's too wet, so around a 1-2 at the moment!

Yes, yes, it's good inflation has slowed slightly, but..

JFC inflation on food is beyond ridiculous & isn't included in the calculations for core inflation!

#Labour really should look into ways to stop supermarkets hiking prices so high or co.'s using shrinkflation whilst making such vast profits!

Hubby is out and about around Chillingham, Wooler and the College Valley and he's seen a bit of snow (not just on the Cheviots, although that's where he took this picture) ❄️
