Peckham high road is now completely blocked by people resisting the removal as well as resisting the arrests made by police.

There are many many more of us than the police. They’re not going anywhere.

Come and join us and we can stop them together.

There are 2 related stories in The Mirror today:

Our public buildings are falling apart. It is only sheer luck that there hasn’t yet been a deadly crush, killing hundreds.

The government is refusing to act.

That’s why unions are now taking action in hundreds of workplaces.

The UK welfare system is driven by biomedical understandings of work limitation. This obscures the multiple structural, economic and relational factors that pose barriers to employment. PEOPLE'S DISTRESS IS REAL. But to fully understand work capacity, we need a broader lens. 👇🔗

If the government really cared about getting people back to work they would be fixing our crumbling public services and improving access to treatment.

Britain deserves better than this cheap, cynical politics.

My hot take: Investing, not cutting, is the key to boosting public sector productivity.

Chancellor is using technology to justify budget cuts. Technology can be a valuable tool, but it's no substitute for skilled and experienced workers.

The Chancellor hinted at the fact that we tax working much more than we tax investing. But a glaring gap remains - see chart by my colleague Pranesh Narayanan.

Moreover, the tax system remains a mess - a plethora of loopholes remains unaddressed.

'We will spend public sector money better' to deliver better services

After the past 14 years, why should anyone believe them? 👇🏾

Cutting national insurance tax would be a giveaway to the wealthiest households at the expense of those already struggling.

If the chancellor goes ahead with these plans he will increase inequality and make us all poorer in the long run.

Exclusive: Unions representing millions of stretched frontline workers demand Jeremy Hunt provides extra cash for public services.

Over a dozen leaders warn: 'Prioritising politically-driven tax cuts while decimating services is the wrong choice.'

School absence levels have soared in recent years - and if the government is serious about tackling them, air filters in schools could be a significant step forward in improving health and school attendance.

14 years of cuts to public services, support for survivors of domestic abuse & more have disproportionally impacted women

Further cuts in the Budget would send gender equality into reverse

Further cuts for pre-election tax gimmicks would be unforgivable

Employment rights are only real if they’re enforced. Low paid workers like young women are particularly at risk - we mustn’t price them out of justice.

Young Women's Trust stands with the Trades Union Congress and many others calling for a halt to plans that would bring back tribunal fees

I don’t really go for hot girl walks but I do go for gremlin walks where I leave the house looking like a train wreck and begrudgingly admit that the fresh air is helping me rediscover my will to live
