Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

I endured an English public school. But that’s not the only reason I’m unsurprised about the Farage allegations |
Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

When you go to Auschwitz they have piles of jewellery and watches which were confiscated from those arriving.
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

For ‘adverts’, see also: ‘hospitals’, ‘the Cabinet’, ‘kindergartens’, ‘the England football team’ and, of course, ‘the country’. The only way you can miss this is deliberately. And just watch them try.

I remember Meera Syal saying on a tv chat show about twenty bleeding years ago about the lack of representation of poc on tv particularly in advertising. It’s taken this long to finally see a fair balance so that stupid women and others like her should just shut the fuck up.
