Housing benefit and UC housing element as support for paying rent to private landlords is a bit less than five percent of total benefits expenditure (roughly 15 billion of about £325 billion). These don't cover all rent, so the % of all benefit income paid to private landlords will be a bit higher

If Emerald Fennel’s “Wuthering Heights” had to exist so we could have that headline, it might have been worth it.
Yes, but social media segmentation means that they can show Farage to the drinkers and Jenrick to the more fiscally and morally uptight
The board is aware of your interest.

Quite possibly. But the best job title ever is Commissioner of the Northern Lights.
In a regime that placed the slightest value on consistency, this would sit uncomfortably with the push for Greenland.

“To know your enemy you must become him”, a dictum taken far too far by an exceptionally literal-minded man.
Northern Ireland makes top up payments which compensate claimants affected by the Benefit Cap. Following abolition of 2CL, these cost of these payments is expected to more than triple, implying that substantial numbers of 3+ child families elsewhere in UK will not see the full increase in benefit
I’m sure he feels very sorry for himself. Noble Peter, bravely taking on one last job for party and country, despite the knowledge that his terrible secrets might be exposed.
Hi Torsten. Will you be regulating to ensure that claimants with transitional protection following migration to UC benefit in full from abolition of 2CL? As things stand TP is reduced £ for £.

Yes - more Trump II than Trump I.
Doubtless our refreshed animal spirits would cover any shortfall. In any case, vibes trump accounting in elections.
Many of those voters likely reckon this can happen simply by transferring support from those they deem undeserving, at no trouble to hard- pressed taxpayers like Mr Farage.

surfaces a memory of that rough and eldrich beast, the UPA score.
Dad to small child in supermarket, “What would you like for dinner?” “Pasta.” “What would you like with your pasta?” [bursting with joy at her own audacity] “Ice-cream.” “Anything else?” [tentative, rueful] “Salad?”
Work? Possibly. Penance for sure.
The mocha pot is as brilliant as it is nostalgic. The beans should be oily and black, ground to dust and packed tight. It should taste barbaric, notes of icepick and shrew. You’re not meant to enjoy it.
OTOH, french press grounds get under your gums and are a leading cause of root canal work.
It certainly would be - and no mention of raising (or abolishing) the benefit cap either - many families won't benefit from the two child limit ending as their benefits will be capped instead.
(The clown who came up with the concept mangling phrase '2 child benefits cap' deserves great scorn).

Something like this is needed. The triple lock is a ratchet transfer from young to old. Pensioners win every year that inflation outstrips earnings, and every year both are less than 2.5%. They never lose.
Excel: fine

I’ve never made a Powerpoint or tried any of the other stuff.
File management has been atrocious since 2010.
Full abolition would be a half measure if the actual benefit cap remains in situ.
About 13. The rest is silence.
