Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free. Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

I’m off to bed now. 😴💤🛌

Fab-u-lous 🎶

She’s defined working class as anyone who needs to work to pay the mortgage and buy food which would be about 98% of us

Well, why not? He's pardoned everyone else. #Trump

1. It’s a passport 2. Er… 3. That’s it

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

Give to the billionaires, kill the sick, hate the refugee.

The actual words of Jesus: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me.” Matthew 25:35-36 Very inconvenient for MAGA Christians.

#TheArchers storylines for which we will need patience: - George becomes a decent person - Peggy's will is ok with everyone - Tom does something right

My favourite Lou album, partly because it's produced by David Axelrod, partly because of "Old Man's Memories (Monologue)" 🙂 #Nowplaying Lou Rawls - Soulin' #Musicsky #SoulSky #vinylcollection

I expect the post Trump years in America are going to be filled with a lot of people saying they never supported Donald Trump.

Why does Gary Lineker get fired for something he said on Social Media. But Amol Rajan just has to 'apologise' for something he said on air?

On my to buy list. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social #music

I wonder if the native Americans who welcomed the Pilgrims at the first Thanksgiving would agree with that?

Rex. The answer is Kirsty. You’ve known her for years and she’s beaver keen. #TheArchers

Listeners of #TheArchers are really into horror, but don’t like to do it alone.

#TheArchers Ed, get that wrist checked out! If it's a scaphoid fracture, there's a risk it might not heal properly, leading to chronic pain, wrist instability, and osteoarthritis. How's that going to affect Ed's ability to wield a chainsaw for his job?

Plot Prediction. Ed has delayed reaction to the fall. 1) concussion Emmur discovers he’s in a coma beside her tomorrow morning or 2) Ed falls out of a tree whilst holding dangerous tree surgery tool. He is badly injured in a life threatening accident. He won’t be killed off but…#TheArchers

Evening All. I felt better today so went to the shops bought a pair of trainers. Fell asleep on the sofa so missed part of #TheArchers. When are Ed and Emmy going to learn that covering up for George does him no good?

Just to say, any men here listening and facing prostate surgery. It doesn't always cause those side effects. I know someone who had very successful surgery for prostate cancer, with few side effects. He has to have annual PSA checks though. #bbcpm

Hi Olwen @borsetshireblue.bsky.social saw this and thought of you. #badbathrooms

Mum’s carers (mostly well-educated Nigerians) are appalled & angry Hardly anyone will come from their neighbourhoods, towns & cities now

As an #thearchers listener for more years than I care to remember I believe my application to become the BBC’s new Director general has I think to be taken seriously.

I watched Season 1 & 2 of Accused (Netflix) during the last few days. Everyday stories about how people end up committing crimes. The accused were largely people were law abiding ordinary folk, who by a set of circumstances chose the wrong path. It could happen to anyone. #justsaying Worth a look.

Have listened again to Thursday’s episode of #TheArchers. It appears that Gawwage did push Ed. Brad suspects that Ed didn’t “slip on a book”. This incident could be the first of many. Amber better be careful.

how does rewilding make money ? #TheArchers

Daughter rang towards the end of #TheArchers something happened to Ed, George has something to do with it??? No spoilers I’ll catch up.

Oh beavers are crepuscular? I kinda like the idea of them murdering Justin to be honest. #TheArchers

Experienced pudding makers; if your darling husband swans in at the last hour of steaming decided to top up the water till it’s over the pudding and therefore it’s soggy is the pudding salvageable? Will it keep to Christmas? Start again? #TheArchers

Will no one think of Barry ?

This is who we're deporting while we're importing sex traffickers like the Tate brothers and white supremacists who are nostalgic for Apartheid.

New 6.30 pm comedy. Hmmm… #r4

This crap of telling US citizens that they don’t need a fucking warrant needs to stop! NOW. #meltICE #FollowTheDamnLaw #fdt #pinks ##bluecrew #nowarrantFuckOff

Net immigration is now at around the lowest sensible level. If it falls further, it will seriously damage the UK economy.

It was an honour to join the family and loved ones of Damilola Taylor today. Damilola’s parents, Gloria Taylor and Richard Taylor OBE, are sadly no longer with us. I know how proud they would be to see the positive impact their work is having and will continue to have for generations to come.

This is a simple comms issue. Most people don't know the figures, so ministers should be repeating "net migration has halved since we came to office" every single time they talk about immigration. Many still won't believe it, but many will.

People keep posting about how “maybe Leavitt will learn a lesson now that it’s happening to her sister-in-law” and…you are missing a key point. The woman is Leavitt’s brother’s *ex* & Leavitt’s entire family - including her brother & his new wife - seem pretty eager to deport this woman.

Well done George, this is the reality of being in an adult relationship. Differences, complex emotions. Listening to each other! #TheArchers

Ooh er…George getting in touch with reality??? #LearningCurve #TheArchers

Hey @sarahmackattack.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/36he... I haven’t listened to it but it might be entertaining. #TheArchers

Love was so easy behind bars #TheArchers

#TheArchers Tracey bursting into Brad’s room. He could have been doing anything. Like a quadratic equation.

Evening All. Still waiting to return to my level of normal health. Haven’t moved far from the sofa today. Binge watched Accused on Netflix. Thought provoking series. #TheArchers

Budget 2025 Cash ISA limit cut from £20,000 to £12,000, £8,000 more if invested in shares; over 65s can keep £20,000 in cash. Example of how the state helps the City of London. £8,000 in shares doesn't mean companies get more for investment. It is transfer from A to B. City gets commissions.

Did Alice hug Rex??? #TheArchers 🤔😱
