I think our benefits system should treat us all with dignity and respect, not suspicion. I added my name to this open letter to Pat McFadden. Will you join me to send a clear message to government? Add your name to help #StopTheStigma and #FixTheSystem.

Lidl has snatched the cheapest supermarket crown from Aldi for the second time in just a few months.

Perhaps now it's time for Aldi to be less arrogant & greedy and to finally introduce a rewards/loyalty scheme...

Think the huge profits from the big banks are "fun"? 😷

Neither do we.

And we're not sorry to be party poopers for this lot.

The big banks are making billions - it's time for them to be taxed for it fairly.

Add your name to the #TaxTheBanks petition at bit.ly/TaxTheBanks 📝
Screenshot from an investment advice article that reads 'NatWest (LSE: NWG) shares have had a brilliant run. They’ve climbed 60% in the last year and 222% over five. It’s not the only big FTSE 100 bank making hay. Lloyds Banking Group is up 62% over one year and 215% over five. Barclays has outperformed both, rising 70% and 287% over the same periods. Happily, I’ve joined in the fun. I bought Lloyds a couple of years ago and have already more than doubled my money with dividends reinvested. That’s the joy of investing in blue-chip UK shares.'

Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC and NatWest have made over £35 BILLION in profits this year so far 🤯

These enormous profits have been inflated by high interest rates - they need a windfall tax now!
