UK inflation (CPI) rate has crept to 2.6%.
Govts respond by forcing impoverished people to hand wealth to banks, enriching bankers & their shareholders.

Govts need curb profiteering, tax the rich as they have excessive cash.

A U.S. Congresswoman disappeared for the last six months of her term. Nobody noticed.
Turns out she's in a memory care unit, & her staff (and apparently other people?) covered it up (though she was somehow propped up for an event a month ago?)

David Sullivan has faced decades of allegations that he's raped + abused women + children. He's even admitted refusing to give women jobs unless they had sex with him.
So why's he allowed to fund his wife's children's home?
Especially when she has no experience of working with kids either.

I've done the most Cornish thing I've ever done + bought some unstylish – but very warm – thermal clothes from the local surf shop, as I can't be arsed to drive to Devon to a store where you can actually try semi-fashionable clothes on. 🙌

A couple of weekends ago, we went on the Polar Express at South Devon Railway to meet Santa + his friends.
It was our priciest festive trip so far at around £50 a ticket, but it was definitely worth it, mostly due to the amazing attention to detail. 🚂🎅🎄

Excessive deregulation means that the UK is hurtling towards the next crash
Deregulation creates opportunities for bankers to take reckless risks with other people’s money, collect bonuses and destabilise economies.

One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2025 is to learn to love living in Cornwall or at least make the most of it.
It’s no secret that I haven’t really enjoyed living here in the last few years, but now I feel in a better position to change that.
