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…

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Yes, definitely this!
Couple of things the BBC could do to improve their standing: 1) confirm that Donald Trump is indeed an oily heap of shit and 2) Put the entire back catalogue of John Player League Cricket on the iPlayer. That’s all for now.

Scum. Ignorant, un-British, slime-wallowing scum, and proud to be so.
The Reform UK conference gives a standing ovation to "special guest" Lucy Connolly, who pled guilty to stirring up racial hatred after she called for asylum hotels to be set on fire with people inside them.

Gashapon (or Gachapon) are vending machines found all over Japan that dispense capsules containing miniature toys and other items. There are thousands of different kinds. Here’s a thread of the best ones I saw on my recent trip. 🧵

Been thinking a lot about the premise of Bodger & Badger.
It makes no sense how many clients who would be prepared to hire a handyman named ‘Bodger’, who brought along with him his badger puppet.
No proper work could ever get done due to ‘antics’, and he’d probably be charging by the hour too.

And politically stupid, too. Alienates core vote (& they do have places to go) in pursuit of votes he'll rarely get, & demolishes his core policy agenda of growth, making his re-election more unlikely. Even those (inc. me) willing to cut him a lot of slack feel betrayed. A truly awful day for UK.
Hard to say how disappointing this morning‘s speech really was. Morally AND intellectually.
