Fantastic news!

EXCL: Tory peer Michelle Mone secretly received £29m from profits of PPE business awarded large government contracts after she recommended it to ministers - incredible investigative journalism from David Conn theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/n…

Fred, in 1979, brought down a chimney brick by brick. This is an unbelievable watch.

If the price of something was £100 in 2021 and inflation was 10% in 2022 then the price went up to £110. If inflation is now about 7% that does not mean the price in 2023 is £107. It is £117.70 now. Listening to the media and politicians you would not know that.

Dear 🇬🇧, This is the anatomy of a militant takeover of your public healthcare system: - Take the #1 healthcare system on Earth - Defund it by £320 billion over a decade - Force doctors and nurses to leave country - Engineer the longest waitlist in NHS history - Hold patients

There will be people who’ll try and brush off this 2%. As did so many with last years 2%. Ticket prices should be coming down. Don’t let anyone belittle this battle. We need a general admission cap. We need full transparency on where tickets home and away are going.

Scrapping replays is understandably the headline but this detail is an abomination
