Pathways to Work Green Paper
Some initial thoughts on the Pathways to Work Green Paper which I will update with further information as the consultation progresses. Currently, many who want to get into work simply cannot because the system does not support them. For many, taking a job risks losing the support they rely on.

We are fixing our broken immigration system, removing those with no legal right to remain in this country and tackling the source of the horrific people smuggling trade.
Today, we are also introducing stricter laws to crack down on illegal working. This means that all companies must conduct proper eligibility checks or face fines and potential prison time. You can read more here: shorturl.at/hZ4N0 ... See MoreSee Less

It doesn’t cover the tax rises. Car tax up, stamp duty up, employers NI Up and more… Now the wage has gone up businesses will be putting their prices up to cover the cost of everything, not rocket science. We are worse off!
I think Labour are on a parallel universe to everyone else. All these so called rises have been completely wiped out with all the bills that have gone up today as well as the prices in the supermarket going up every week!! Never mind you and your party members won’t have to worry about prices you’ll be having your 2.8 pay rise shortly plus all these so called other perks you get🤬
the minimum wage is reviewed and raised typically every year isn't it,no matter who,s in power..??

Local pharmacists know you. They know the GPs and Nurse Prescribers. They don’t just hand your pills over. They are a crucial backstop in a safety chain that monitors drug interactions and prevents errors. So glad to see the Labour Government supporting High Street pharmacies.
Please remember that using postal services for your prescription could mean that your local chemist will be under pressure
Here are some of our casework successes in recent weeks supporting local people.
The team and I are here to help, so please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need any support.
