Perhaps you need to use your patronising tone elsewhere. Proven facts show even by the DWPs own data that the bulk of notification letters were not released until on (avg) 2 yrs (if at all) before a womens 60th. Thats 2 years notice of a 6 yr hike. Theres no excuse under the sun

Maybe I'm mad but I'd bloody love it if my taxes paid for the training of dentists and doctors so I could see one at the drop of a hat whenever I need! Training highly skilled individuals is a fucking good investment for any society!

Alice Wong had a breathing tube and could not mask. She also couldn't skip in-person visits due to her conditions. She would ask doctors to mask, and was told "We don't do that anymore." She ultimately died of "an infection" while at the hospital while COVID is surging again.

According to Laura Kuenssberg, this week has been a 'shambles' because of a leadership challenge that never happened and an income tax rise that was never formally announced Yet both were speculated on endlessly Maybe the media is the problem? #BBCLauraK #bbcbreakfast

Here’s what you won’t hear from some commentators on social media: in the year to October, London recorded 10,000 fewer violent crimes leading to injury than it did in the twelve months before I was elected. More on the progress we’re making ⬇️ mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Over the last few months, I have heard from many residents in Huntingdonshire about local government reform. One of the biggest concerns is around splitting historically linked communities in our district. For example, the preferred option of Peterborough and Fenland councils

Once you’ve looked inside Epstein’s emails, you understand one thing instantly: There is no universe where this is the whole picture. The man had an army—PR firms, lawyers, fixers, scientists, diplomats—running 24/7 to bury reporting, steamroll survivors, and insulate him from

Delighted and honoured to be elected to the Council of European Movement UK yesterday at the AGM in Oxford. Also delighted my motion on “A Bolder Campaign for People Mobility for All Ages” was passed too. Thank you everyone who voted 🙏. @savefom Brexit The Elephant

With temperatures set to plummet this week here’s Peter Brook’s ‘Self Portrait - Freezing’, the best known of his portrayals of Holmfirth, the small Pennine town close to which he was born and brought up. Typically, the diminutive figure is easy to miss. (Sold by Bonhams in 2016)

Mrs Saltire Here’s how ours changed. We planned for 20 years to retire to Spain in 2028. But post Brexit we don’t meet the financial requirements. So we’ve had to pack up and emigrate to Ireland and spend 5 years here to get Irish passports. Turns out to be a blessing. Ireland is fantastic.

Thank you so much! Your kind words (and the husband's emergency Vimto) sorted me right out. It's really tough for small businesses at the moment. If you're #Christmas shopping, please shop independent - every order really matters.

Had to get some things out of my system, so went to snap the Christmas Lights and go for a bubbly with friends. Fortnum & Mason's advent calendar exterior is always pretty, free and attracts a large crowd. What's not to like? The Bond Street lights are a bit pared down in 2025.

Listening to Ayesha Hazarika on Times Radio it strikes me what a great interviewer she is as because of her balanced, calm questioning she elicits the same from her guests. A rare talent in this world of radio presenters who take over and push their narrative on listeners. LBC

10 years ago I did my first shift on BBC Radio 4 Today. I’m as proud now as I was then to present a programme I’ve listened to since I was a child. I will always fight for the BBC but I’m all too aware of our faults & flaws and know we can & must & will do better
