Unfair Higher Income Child Benefit Charge. The charity @Gingerbread are writing to MPs about the unfairness, as I've been campaigning on it they asked me to support. I have. Here's my added quote "Even the Chancellor had to agree with me, when I put it to him, that the High Income Child Benefit Charge is an unfairness in the tax system." "It penalises single parent and single income families unfairly. It was by far the biggest single topic the public wanted me to put to politicians." "The problem is exacerbated by the frozen £50,000 threshold which fiscally-drags more single parent families into this situation each year. It staggers me no party has latched onto the popularity they’ll get from pledging to ends this structurally unfair anomaly.”

Anyone earning £60k (with children)pays 40% tax on on 10k and also loses child benefit also minus national insurance…if you are the sole income this is devastating…you walk away with around 2 k in your pocket for 10k worth of work/overtime. This puts pressure on the family

It does need addressing, I earn 54k a year and my wife earns 10k a year and I have to pay back 40% of child benefit. Yet two parents on 49k a year don't. Ridiculously broken.

This is unacceptable. If you run a sport at any level & allowing thing, hang your bloody head in shame!

My 15 year old niece plays for a girl's rugby team. She's a pretty good player & has only had a few scrapes & bruises until yesterday... She was tackled by a trans 'girl' on the other team & is now in hospital with a broken arm, knee cap, & a severe concussion. I am livid!! 😡

Really want to watch Paris test event @BritTri but have to purchase a subscription to watch - such a shame. Would get more people interested in the sport if easier access to watching it

Calls to boycott Adidas over women's swimwear advert

The sportswear brand has provoked fury for its 'mockery' of women over the advert for the £50 item which forms part of its campaign to 'uphold inclusive values'.

£7.80 for a swim plus 50p to park. @Better_UK hardly making swimming - a fantastic form of exercise for so many and vital for people to learn - affordable! Glad I don’t live in London as I wouldn’t be able to afford to swim regularly. @sharrond62

Could you imagine if shortly before the Olympics, or several months before the Olympics in 1976 (competed in 72 as well) if I declared to be trans and compete with the women!?!?! Beyond unfair! I know the physical differences and understand trans! Don’t tell me I am transphobic!

I have just sent the Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt - supported by major charities - a letter asking him to postpone the government's 20% increase in energy bills on 1 April. The letter is at attached (plus supplementary explanation) please read and feel free to share
 The Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury 1 Horse Guards Road London SW1A 2HQ CC: The Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP Thursday 9 February 2023 Dear Chancellor, In your November Autumn Statement, you announced a 20% increase of the energy price guarantee (EPG) – the state-subsidised energy rate – from April. This will increase energy bills yet again for almost every home across England, Scotland and Wales. This comes at the same time that the £400 energy bills support scheme comes to an end. Yet things have changed since then, and I would ask you to urgently consider postponing that increase. This cannot wait until the Budget – in practice, energy firms will need to know much sooner if the planned rise isn’t happening on 1 April, or they are bound to have to communicate to customers that it is coming. This decision to increase prices was made at a time when wholesale rates were looking to be far higher than they are now. In fact, on current

Surfing champion Bethany Hamilton has just announced she will NOT compete in the World Surf League anymore if they allow biological men to surf in the women’s events. She’s already an absolute legend but this stand makes her even more of a legend. Thank you @bethanyhamilton!

Putting interest rates up to combat inflation which is not consumer driven is a complete racket. They are doubling down on the problems and exacerbating. Driving up mortgage and rent, while there being no added incentive to put money into savings shows they aren't on our side

And during this time took them a year to issue a national guideline on weighing children despite being repeatedly told that swimmers are at high risk of ED & EDs have the highest mortality rate of any mental health issue. #dutyofcare #whytereport

Attention should also turn to reform and modernisation within the health and social care system eg. a 'reformed social care system, which starts, from where most elderly people want to be - in their own home.

Today's Tories may have clapped NHS nurses and health workers at the height of the pandemic. But now they are not only opposing decent remuneration for them but also contemplating a more privately financed healthcare system.
