Following on from my previous post about PIP. I tried to listen to the Chancellor's Spring Statement yesterday, but only managed about 10 minutes. Partly because it felt pretty excruciating, partly because I struggle to listen, watch and absorb detail, partly because I couldn't bear the MP's nodding and knowing smiles, and partly because I … Continue reading The Chancellor’s Spring Statement – Shockwaves!
It is proving an ever more challenging time just coping with awareness of everyday headlines. With growing feelings of unease that perhaps our government is increasing its acts of austerity to gain favour with another on a distant shore. Or to be seen to be aligned. I hope I am wrong. If you are a … Continue reading Proposed Changes to PIP – Thoughts
