Keir Starmer promised that we would save hundreds of pounds on our energy bills. Energy prices are set to rise yet again in April... Instead of giving finance support to same of the most vulnerable in our society, Keir Starmer’s Labour Party has taken money away from 82% of pensioners living in poverty and is now planning to cut a further £3billion in support for disabled people! 😤

The government has a mission to improve opportunity - what does that mean to you?

Poverty affects opportunities for my kids this means missing out on everyday fun, play and relaxed time with family because family outings are too expensive, and being excluded from social activities with friends because there isn’t money for a cinema ticket or birthday present. Missing educational school trips because we can not afford creating isolation and stigma. My children have to grow up fast missing out on childhood because they think of working and making life better for us.

The school holidays are upon us here in Scotland and it's been unusually cold with zero sun for 2 weeks now. My normally warm house has been very cold so can't wait to see my next electric bill. It's always more of a struggle trying to entertain kids when off school as day camps etc are very costly - so that's out of the question. We've been getting more creative and my son made his own board game which was fun. We managed to get cheap cinema tickets so that was a treat 👍

A Vision for the Future



A future where everyone has the best opportunities would mean no child growing up limited by their family’s financial struggles. It would mean access to quality education, stable housing, and the ability to dream big without worrying about the next meal. True opportunity isn’t just about talent or hard work—it’s about removing the barriers that keep families from reaching their full potential.

Expanding opportunities means that government creates a condition where all individuals access the resources, education, and support needed to succeed. It means every one can access health care, education, jobs, and better services to improve their quality of life.

The government has a mission to improve opportunity - what does that mean to you?

The government's mission is to expand opportunities. That means I have more chance to a better quality of life, that I have chance to obtain a better job and support my family. Opportunity means good position, chance for improvement, and success.

The government has a mission to improve opportunity - what does that mean to you?

There have been very few opportunities for myself or my daughter since we ended up living in poverty when my daughter was eight years old. I am autistic and suffer with mental and physical health problems, but was receiving no additional help or advice as to what or where any help may be available. It is my daughter who has suffered the most, as she did not have the opportunity to grow up mixing with others in or out of school due to a lack of financial help other than what I could provide. She has missed out on educational school trips, holidays, after school clubs with little access to the internet or textbooks to help with her learning and development. every child in this country should receive every opportunity possible to help them grow and succeed in a modern world, helping them to define and shape their own lives for a better future.

Who is kidding who?

The UK Gov's only mission is to make themselves wealthier with tax avoidance, and make life more difficult for low-paid employees as human rights are removed...Meaning working more hours for less wages, no minimum wage, no paid maternity leave, no paid annual leave, no state pension and sickness benefits.



Just as it is in China and UAE...

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well and keeping well. Today has been a great day to me, and my son we had a friend come over to pay us a visit. It's been so much better than the rest days of the week.

Care, power, time, online: what are your learnings or messages?

The challenges are huge, especially for the care. We can't just afford everything we need, we just have to minimise our daily life so it fits in our budgets. It's a big challenge though.
