Yesterday the prime minister speculated cutting disability benefits could allow for tax cuts later this year 👇
🔗theguardian.com/politics/202…
ALT Four different news headlines of the same story on a ripped paper design. They read: 1) ‘Rishi Sunak says he wants to cut benefits to pay for tax cuts’. 2) ‘Sunak says he wants to reduce workers’ taxes this year and may cut benefits.’ 3) ‘Prime Minister Rishi Sunak working to crackdown on 'benefit scroungers'. 4) ‘Sunak pledges to cut taxes by curbing welfare spending’.

Around a third of people in the UK have high blood pressure, but most don’t know it. It doesn’t have any symptoms so, the only way to find out is to have a blood pressure check.
