Watching All Night Long starring #KeithBarron & my late grandfather's favourite customer #DinahSheridan
A win for Aussie audiences really, not sure many will agree or want Meghan either but at least be leaving UK, please keep her & dimwit Harry 🙏. So will they be taking the mystery kids, after all they fear their safety too much to dump them alone in different country again 🙄
This is inequality of our homelessness. Burham says he will find the money to stop rough sleeping, creating NY type scheme that doesn't help the homeless just removes them from sight they remain homeless. But hang find the money, money is there it houses boat loads of men daily.
This is the situation in Europe.
The North African teenager who has been living in Italy for four years and took part in the looting in Milan has been given public housing. His father and mother don’t work and live on welfare benefits paid for by Italian taxpayers.
Anna, an 84-year-old Italian woman, is forced to live in her car. She says this situation makes her feel like “a nobody in this world.”

On this date in 1988, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" arrived on videocassette, bringing one of the decade’s most beloved movies into homes everywhere.
BITE-SIZED FACT | The home-video release was a major event, with Universal anticipating enormous demand for the Steven Spielberg classic starring Henry Thomas and Drew Barrymore. #80s
Poundland collapsed when 90% of stock wasn't a pound anymore. Shame I used to love Poundland during first decade of 2000s when had random end of line stock, no two stores the same. Then they got their own lines & well known brands all stores became all the same.
BREAKING: Poundland close to collapse as new directors head for exit

Wish I had the time to work or could leave mum unattended that long. Where is the help during cost of living to help unpaid non working carers Burham has overlooked ? Who can't claim UC due to having essential savings to pay bills & adjust when suddenly no longer a carer ?
6 in 10 carers who faced issues working while claiming Carer’s Allowance said it affected their ability to work. 4 in 10 said they’d left work because of it.
Removing the earnings limit cliff edge is a major breakthrough after years of campaigning.

In the bottom right corner is the white logo for "carers uk", which includes an icon of three stylized, interlocking figures.
£21 doesn't even cover our gas increase per month, didn't Andy Burnham say he was going to help ease the cost of living. Promises promises again not delivered.
Carer's Allowance carers no longer lose entire benefit earn over limit will reduce by £1 for every extra £1 earn. So whatever earn over you'll be no better or worse off, so pointless earning more. Just pay carers more then £87 a week then wouldn't need to work while caring 35hrs+
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham has announced five "everyday fixes" ahead of the Budget
1. Carer's Allowance will be changed so carers no longer lose their entire benefit when they earn over the limit - instead, their support will reduce by £1 for every extra £1 they earn
2. Import tariffs will be removed on more than 100 products, including baked beans, chocolate and gherkins, to save households up to £21 on their food shop a year
3. Tax-free mileage rates for workers using their own cars will be made permanent at 55p per mile for the first 10,000 miles, with the rate for additional miles rising from 25p to 35p
4. Parental pay will be extended to over 150,000 more parents a year, including self-employed fathers and partners
5. Hundreds more Post Office drop boxes will be rolled out to save people queueing at branches

J.K. Rowling could have kept quiet, banked her billions and stayed everyone's favourite author.
She didn't.
She put her name, her reputation and her own money on the line for women.
She founded Beira's Place, a women-only centre in Edinburgh for survivors of sexual violence. She has funded legal fights to protect women's rights and women-only spaces. And she has given a voice to women who were too scared to speak.
For that she has faced years of death threats, rape threats and torture threats.
She hasn't flinched once.
That's not just a literary legend. That's a hero for women everywhere. 👏🇬🇧

Forget the giant inflatables and over-the-top Halloween displays. Give me the cardboard witches, tissue-paper pumpkins, and homemade decorations we grew up with.
That's the Halloween I remember, and that's the Halloween I miss.
