UK self-employed folks: If you have a ltd company you have a tax-free allowance of £150 per employee (ie yourself) for an annual party. https://t.co/jQUpXTVnkQ Treat yourself to a nice meal, you're worth it.

I was assaulted by a senior Lib Dem four years ago today. Then on 16th Dec, Willie Rennie told me not to report him as it wasn’t sexual. The Man had bullied me for over a year. Now he was touching me. I was scared. Willie told me I’d not get selected if I reported. #AskAlex

Maybe the fab @danaeshell can help?
Cost of living crisis so my boss decides to make me redundant during my maternity leave after fifteen years without even a proper consultation. I can’t afford an employment lawyer so does anybody know if he’s obliged to consult even if it’s a foregone conclusion?

I need a conference venue with: * with 1 big room which seats 100 people, * 3 breakout rooms which can hold 20 people, * movable chairs and no other furniture, * rock solid wifi / wired internet. Preferably in London. >>> Thoughts? <<< Photo by @davidthep from #ukgc16.
