Here's the Mancunian Way for today:
I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend and managed to avoid the downpours as best you could. Sunday morning’s early hours storm was certainly a dramatic display - and there are some impressive images here.
The weather caused roads to flood and delays to transport and one elderly lady was left stranded in her house, so please take care of yourselves and your neighbours as the heavy rain is set to continue.
On to the news. In today’s newsletter we’ll be looking at the mayor's education plans, a dispute over the Census and Erling Haaland's late-night ice cream treat. But first, we’re going to look at a tragic story of one woman’s battle with the complex benefits and housing systems.
Karen McBride was a kind, compassionate person who instilled ‘honourable traits’ in her children and campaigned hard for policy changes that would help those in poverty.
She gave 'inspiring' speeches based on her own experiences of the system. But ultimately, she died 'frustrated to the point of desperation' after years of struggle and fear over money and 'uninhabitable' living conditions.
A coroner says her story highlights the 'complexities of navigating the benefits system'. And though he did not find that 'the state' should have been aware of a risk to her life, her family say the agencies dealing with her benefits and housing ‘have a lot to answer for’ after pursuing her for ‘erroneous debt’.
The mum-of-four, 46, was found hanged in her kitchen on August 1 last year. Her daughter Codie has now spoken out
