Budget 2025: Pressure on Reeves for tax cuts vs Truss's tax cuts and the impact on Gilts (making govt borrowing pricier when Truss's govt proposed it)

I asked Google's AI what the difference is between that tax cut -- and now and hoped the word 'unfunded' wouldn't overly haze the issue.

300 hundred (not 100).

Did a UK news channel interview an asylum seeker/migrant sent to Southend-on-Sea who's is now "desperate" to be deported? (Some may say 'unsurprisingly' but I couldn't possibly comment!)

"Amazon" Poland phishing email with 25 PLN discount?
The subject line is just "25" and with a typo of Amazpn. I'd say it is likely best not to click on any link in the email and to instead log in *directly* to your Amazon account to see if the discount is there. #phishing #amazon #polska #fraud

Major UK news channel rhyming with 'cry' confuses the heck out of English learners by scripting "WAS" on the teleprompter instead of "WERE".

There's a famous song; it'll help you remember every single time even if you were (not was) born long after its popularity peaked: "If I Were a Rich Man".

Singing a new credit card agreement gets eligible applicants an IKEA gift voucher (terms and conditions apply, subject to status, musical accompaniment optional)
