SORRY to all ya who followed me for lols but here's one last serious tweet:

Are you on UNIVERSAL CREDIT? here's a list of things you qualify for

New Business Allowance: an extra amount of money each week plus mentoring and access to funding to help turn your business idea into a reality. Speak to your work coach.

Speaking of jobs and training, @BigIssue has launched a new portal for the unemployed which features both https://www.bigissue.com/jobs-training/ 

If you don't have any debt (not criteria but debt is prob better to pay off) and have some spare cash you can use the Help to Save government scheme where you can put up to £50 away a month for a 50% tax free bonus (and can keep the account even if you get a job)

If you get a job you can apply for £100 towards clothing, shoes etc. Present your receipts to your work coach.

UC is a really dehumanising system and has only JUST covered the cost of rent, bills and cheap food. If I had any emergencies or wasn't in a pandemic sitting at home doing f all I'd be screwed. Sorry to everyone who has to sign on and hope this time next year are millionaires

(I found out about all this stuff by myself so imagine there are many others who are completely unaware)
