I'd been looking forward to getting a nice bottle of wine from Majestic for Christmas until I saw this. Have emailed them to let them know I won't be visiting until they stop associating themselves with this lot.

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.

“Public broadcasters are doing a core part of their job badly,” is a saying for our times.
63% of people think net migration rose in the last 12 months
8% of people think it fell
Yet it fell by 400,000 in 2024 vs 2023
[It is falling further in 2025]
Public service broadcasters are doing a core part of their job on this topic badly if that 8% is not closer to 30% at least
