Insurance gives you peace of mind - until you claim part 94 bit.ly/4ju8fAq the industry has stopped publishing figures for how many claims are paid out. When it last did they showed 1 in 11 critical illness claims was refused. And 1 in 3 total permanent disability claims
I spent £80k on insurance but didn’t get a penny when I was too sick to work
Jason Sugarman nearly died but his claim was still rejected. Now the FCA is investigating the whole industry

I have withheld some criticism of Starmer as I don't believe you can fix 14 years of Tory misrule without at least a full term in office.
However, the sentiment in this quoted post will also be a red line for me at the next GE. That, or at least rejoining the single market.

Keir Starmer continues to be stubborn about #RejoinEU
So,I'll say this as a voter who tactically voted last GE for @teamlabouruk.bsky.social,next time it will be a tactical vote for @libdems.org.uk or @greenparty.org.uk to keep Tories, Reform AND Labour OUT!

Astonishing words to hear from a Canadian prime minister. Within months of taking office, the Trump admin has done lasting damage to core American interests, including continental defence. And for what? To satisfy the whims and impulses of a deranged leader, not for any carefully considered aim.
Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

Stop looking for logic in Trump's actions. Or coherence. Even with regard to Russia or trade.
We know his broad instincts. But we also know he'll abandon almost anything if there's some upside for him.

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

Trump’s goal all along was to end military aid to Ukraine. That’s why he offered a “peace deal” with no security guarantees and set up that fight with President Zelenskyy knowing no sane leader would accept it.
