📽️ Catch up on our latest #CPCCGWebinar recording to hear about new research on how Universal Credit reshapes #youngadults ' #livingarrangements, with #youngpeople significantly more likely to live with their #parents as a result of #UniversalCredit. The impact is concentrated among #unmarried #childless individuals, both men and women, and among young men who are most disadvantaged in the #labourmarket.

I'm so close to the fucking edge this year.
I got a 1 kg bag of tapioca pearls for boba tea to make cheaper at home so I can still have a treat. Saw the price tag and was like "hmmm. *Do* I want / deserve an easy sweet treat I can add nutrient powder to as needed and sip for hydration?"
I got it in the end, but everyone deserves nice things. Yes, even the people you hate. Even the asshole down the street. Maybe if they got nice things and felt nicer, they might be kinder to people around them, idfk.#UK #UKpol #pol #politics #UK_politics #UKpolitics #DWP #PIP #UC #UniversalCredit #disability #disabled #DisabledSocial #disabilities #MassDisablingEvent #LongCovid #MECFS #LearningDifficulty #LearningDisability #SpLDiff #SpecificLearningDifficulty #money #cash #currency #policy #PolicyAnalysis #spending #budget #economy #equality #inequality #benefits #BenefitsCuts #BenefitsClaimants #illness #ChronicHealth #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness
