Tens of thousands of ppl may not have enough money for essentials & forced to #foodbanks if the govt cuts the £20 increase to #UniversalCredit in April. That’s why I’m supporting @trusselltrust in asking MPs to speak up in Monday’s debate #KeepTheLifeline https://t.co/1ryU1fNqhA

Hearing of an unimaginable loss today where friends have lost their mum and dad in a matter of days to Covid. Please heed the government guidance re mixing bubbles, going out and keeping safe. This should not happen to families. They are devastated. #doyourbit
