Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Prisoners have been accidentally released for years, and yet I don’t recall it ever being mentioned in any news outlet. Any idea why it’s suddenly such a big story….?

The laws of the game say the referee HAS to stop the game IMMEDIATELY in the event of a head injury.
Bad degending, yes. But shocking refereeing.

Singapore #F1: #Piastri pushed #Norris slightly wide #Max brakes early, Norris can't avoid contact & bounces into Piastri, who goes off on one but continues in the race.
USA #F1: Piastri turns in on other cars, bounces into Norris and takes him out of the race.
I wonder how he will react...? 🤔

Lucky for Nigel Farage that he never met that bloke who took bribes from the Russians, otherwise the media would be all over it.

I'm not sure Patrick Cantlay's hat fits particularly well at this #RyderCup?
Yet he's still wearing it. Nothing to do with the $500,000, I'm sure....🤔

Two very important graphs.
Net migration reached record levels in 2023 - and has since halved.
The vast majority of arrivals comprises students and workers.
Arrivals in small boats and asylum seekers - less than 5%.

How on earth do you win a debate with racists, when all they have to go on are ‘feelings’ as opposed to facts?
Some of these ‘patriots’ also don’t seem to know which way the Union Flag should be flown.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social, help!

The #BBC news this morning is astonishing:
On the reshuffle: “was x not good enough in their job?”; “Will x do a better job?”; “Why do we need a reshuffle? This is a mess.” “Reform is ready for an election.”
I don’t remember questions like this when Boris Johnson etc had reshuffle after reshuffle.

The #ChampionsLeague draw is the worst I've seen.
No trepidation whatsoever: all fixtures *ahem* decided by a computer. What was the point of pulling balls out of a pot?
It wasn't broken - go back to how it was (groups of 4).

A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge application backlog that the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly ***on purpose*** as a deterrent.
Here he is, as Immigration Minister two years ago, saying so. ~AA
