Although we are looking at filling a 22 billion pound shortfall, the reality is a 35 billion shortfall, but our reserves brought it down.How was she going to get this back.She had a phrase which one day may go down in history "If we cannot afford it we will not pay for it".Then the first death knell , people on state pension will not get the winter warmth payment but if you were on pension credit, hear what pension credit is.Now more people can't get this needed benefit.As usual I share some stories.Sign my petition.

What a week it has been for news, actually I changed my mind several times.But here it is and the last one is one I created.1/ Biden stands down, that is not surprising but Farage had to fly out, he was asked why but side stepped that. What about his constituancy?2/ The mess that the Conservative party are you, Badenock and Atkins actually fighting on the front bench to get heard was an embarrassment.3/ I wrote to the press office to ask what the government were going to do about homelessness.

This week it is the Power of Co-production Part OneFirst there is some reverb, the actual interview is not spoiled and at first I thought it was the heat but my microphone is now deceased, it is no more, I will be getting a temporary one , it is on its way.Today I am out personed, not English I know, I have not one guest but three, scary eh!. My guests this week are Jen a manager from The Centre of Homeless Impact plus two of her people from the organisations lived experience panel, Anne and Cristina. Three amazing people and I felt this was going to be a simple interview.No, as usual I was wrong, all three of them will be returning for in truth we only touched one side of it.If I look at the dictionary it says, the meaning of co-production is " a way of working whereby everybody works together on an equal basis to create a service or come to a decision which works for them all".I am sure when you listen to this you will hear some amazing viewpoints here are a few quotes ,"I was invited to speak at a meeting, after I spoke the person running it ignored me and referred to the person who spoke before hand".",As a person on co-production panel you are an integral part of the organisation"There was so much wisdom flowing in this interview I wish I could bottle it and I am looking forward to part 2.If you have a comment, or wish to contact me, maybe you wish to join my mailing list, I share a lot more about the podcast in that forum.

This week we reviewed last weeks election.We present the figures for the four major parties.We run a first past the post system but listen and think is their a case to revert to proportionate representation.We then reviewed each party ( remember any views we make are ours, this podcast will never tell you how to think)I will admit I liked Starmer but he has betrayed me he gave President Biden an Arsenal shirt. I am now suspect he supports them. If you have any comment , would like to join my mailing list. email me at [email protected] a text3XjqIZFpgpbZE40lFNhG

This week:Dissent in the Reform party.Nigel Farage has sacked Ben Habib. He is no longer the deputy leader, Mr Tice now has that role, but he should be used to this, this is the third role he has had in a few weeks, he was leader, then chair now deputy leader.Braverman the diplomatSue Ellen Braverman has always shown us she always has a great way with words.Now her latest target is the pride flag. She is good at generating hate, listen to dissent part two, this time in the Conservative party.It's a nice earner!!Thames Water are in financial trouble, yet their CEO was awarded a bonus.

Nicola Tennant ran away from the care system , not once but twice.She had been place in care at the age of six.Why did she runaway, hear her tale in her own words. This is a tale of oppression. Now you might think there are only a few, I have spoken to a few people and the reasons are similar. She also presents the numbers that it is happening NOW.This not a tale from Dickens, we are in the 21st Century in what is seen as "prosperous" country.Listen to her tale and the question is our care system broken.Now you can send me comments by a link in the podcast.Please share this with your friends. tell them can join my mailing list by contacting me on [email protected] is the link to Public Support UK https://deref-mail.com/mail/client/pqrO9AvfkP4/dereferrer/?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fpublicsupport.uk%2FWeb%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2__lquSH6J5tjmTCZJspJoTHDxFeUSwGPOQ-CHjzwMxx5gPVldQ33cngQIf you wish to comment , join my mailing list or even consider sharing your tale you can contact me on [email protected] a text3XjqIZFpgpbZE40lFNhG

As usual three stories to look at, two are from across the water, the final one is the big one of course is the General Election.The first two stories involve the Supreme Court in the USA.As you may be aware Former President Donald Trump is facing several charges , both criminal and federal, he has stated several times that he can't be charged as he has total immunity as President.Now the Supreme Court has made a ruling saying that any act he makes in his role as President he does have immunity. This is worrying as there are the grey areas.The question is should a Premier of any country have that sort of power e.g. If this had been around when Nixon was found guilty , he could not of been charged with Watergate. A few days ago the Supreme Court made another ruling, they gave local authorities the right to burn down the tent cities that had sprung up around cities. We in this country do have a habit of following ideas from other countries, what would you say if they started burning down homeless peoples tents?Finally today they announced the result of the General Election. Labour won which was not surprising but several Ministers lost their seats.I wanted three people to not get elected, Sue Ellen Braverman as she seems to make every statement sound like hate. Nigel Farage as he believes stopping the migrants is the cure for everything and Liz Truss as she is still spouting the same rubbish that almost destroyed the country. Well I only got one .The question is what does the future hold?On Monday, my guest is Nicola Tennant talking about "Runaways", young people under 17 who have ran from the care system. This is still happening today. Listen and share.Please share this , tell your friends they can join my mailing list.
