This article is a tough, tough read if you are a Labour supporter...
But unless your plan for the next 4 years is to live in a little bubble of self-delusion then watch the party you support disappear into oblivion, you need to.

It's astonishing how none of the major expenses apps can read UK rail tickets. I had to input every amount on Xero. I'm trying easy expenses for this tax year, and it has the same issue. 🤦 Rail travel is the biggest, most regular expense I have to record. Any other app suggestions?
