@mrjamesob.bsky.social I thought, perhaps incorrectly, that you were going to post a photo of a waiting room at a train station the other day. You haven’t, and now I can’t remember the name of the station! Does it ring any bells?

only in the small print of this article do they make clear that the pensioners paying an extra £2,500 of tax would have to have
“earnings over £125,140”
I know many pensioners are asset rich but how many have income at that level?

Sometimes politics is simple. A man who speaks like an idiot will do idiotic things. That's really the sum total of the political analysis you need to understand what's happening today. But political commentators and investment advisers sought to make it more complicated.

Tesla, the world’s largest EV maker, in January registered only 1,277 new cars in Germany
it’s a drop of 59% compared with the same month last year
