46% of those who voted in the local elections in #Lambeth did NOT vote Labour, yet Lambeth Labour have 90% of councillors; over 80% of officer support & committee seats & 97% of extra allowances. These proportions are undemocratic & why single party councils offer less value for money

Just seen an Instagram post recommending women do gig economy work like Evri delivery while on maternity leave, to top up their statutory maternity pay. The comments are full of women exchanging panicked tips about how to survive. That tells you everything you need to know about the provision!
