Sadly it's not just inflexibility of Universal Credit - the base rate of Universal Credit isn't high enough anyway, but you've also particularly got elderly people on state pension only, people with disabilities and people with children.
Surprisingly, the majority of food bank food apparently goes to households with at least one person in work - though this might not be "old style" work where you have set hours and wages and rights, but instead "zero hours" or "flexi hours" or "our company considers you self employed" etc.
Huge increases in gas costs are one of the biggest contributors - children, the elderly and the ill couldn't manage to just switch the heating off all winter. Ridiculous house price/rent increases are also a massive factor.
I'm also a little unsure about a nationalised supermarket - but there are probably some solutions in this direction that would work.
Yeah, but it can cover a far larger period than 10 years if I'm in the right (wrong?) frame of mind - like being overwhelmed with shame and self-hatred for doing something selfish when I was 4 years old.
Thankfully, these days I can generally shut it down by reading a story or something for 10 minutes before I go to sleep.
It's not the fairest assessment - It has delays as "trains more than three minutes late". Not ideal, especially when you're changing trains, but 3 minutes rarely makes a difference, compared to the 10/20/30/40 minutes late ones.
A few years back, when working in places "two trains away", I was getting trains 10-20 minutes late every day, which normally meant missing the connection.
By my own experience, Northern and Transpennine have had fewer cancellations and fewer noticeably latest.
However, Northern are still shit at sending a two-carriage Sprinter as a commuter train that needs 3-4 carriages for everyone waiting to actually get on.
A Tory had pressured a local school to ban a few books because they showed white-on-black racism as a negative thing, and this fact hurt his racist Tory feelings.
A comparatively large group of anti-racist parents complained, and got the anti-racist book unbanned.
Now I've got that "Grace Kelly" song by Mika stuck in my head for the next few days.
