“I think the [winter fuel payment] means testing was too tight..to set it at pensioners who have annual income of less than £11,400 is too tight” Martin Lewis says the winter fuel payment should have been extended to those pensioners with around “£20,000-25,000” annual income

9.3 million Pensioners have suffered 3 hits to their energy bills under Labour. 1. Winter Fuel help axed (£2-300) 2. Energy Bill rise Oct. 1st (£149) 3. Energy Bill rise Jan. 1st (£21) Total pain: £370-470 a year. The equivalent of a 21-27% energy bill hike for pensioners.

Great photography 🥰🥰

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. But he still needed a 45% pay rise. Like if he needs a pay cut. RP if you want the Monarchy gone. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Imagine the shock for the Daily "Satire" I meant Express when it discovers that nearly all of the £500m in aid grants it references were allocated by Conservative governments. They were dead silent last year lol

The public have never been asked if they would like the NHS to be privatised, and yet governments have enabled infiltration of private companies into the NHS for the past 4 decades 🚨

It is important to recognise and value the protest efforts of Israeli’s distressed at the actions of the right wing government.

King Charles the last. It is time for Game Over.

Charlie Windsor's dressing up day cost £72m. The Windsors cost us half a billion quid a year. Add on the money raked in from the Duchy lands and you have a nice little earner at our expense

They can’t bring themselves to say Food Banks. Calling them food distribution centres sanitises them - when they shouldn’t even be needed in the sixth richest country in the world. And an unelected millionaire aristocrat arriving at a Foodbank in a chauffeured limousine is just obscene

Large parts of adult social care in England face collapse, thinktank says. The budget blamed but there are other factors. Massive real cut in local govt funding since 2010. Privatisation: 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits. Money buys less. End Privatisation www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Govt let off accountancy, architects & private equity firms. Partners taxed as self-employed. They pay Class 4 NIC, lower rate than workers. Partners of just 4 law firms gained £4bn. Enough to cancel two-child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut. Easier to hit the less well-off archive.ph/XgSuK
