As pointed out at the other place: it’s a wonder that with his busy schedule of deliberately wrecking his own party to media outlets choking to repeat every word at this point, Mandelson managed to find the time to meet Jeffrey Epstein again. But he seems to have managed it.

How we do pensions and retirement income in this country is predicated on a few assumptions, one of which is that old people have minimal housing costs and/or security of tenure. It's not happening anymore, and will get worse.

As in the UK government raising taxes to fund NHS England, English schools, and English public services. Funding levels which the UK Government will then use to calculate funding for devolved governments in NI, Scotland and Wales, based on its priorities and not theirs, whether they like it or not.
