Around 26,000 of the neediest people in County Durham will have to start paying council tax next year...
About 2,400 others who already pay some council tax will lose part of their rebate.
Women and the disabled will be disproportionately affected.
Not quite what Reform UK had promised.

Everyone knows St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland & St George slew that dragon. So why isn’t it common knowledge that St Andrew punched a pterodactyl in the face?

So take this in. Straight from the NATO meeting after Russia’s attack Britain’s primary military town, Salisbury, Boris Johnson flew unofficially to party in Umbria with a former KGB officer working for the Kremlin.

It becomes obvious very early on in U.N.C.L.E how much of an asset David McCallum is and with remarkable grace and generosity, Robert Vaughn shifts sideways to accomodate him. It becomes a two-man show, with Leo G in sterling support.

5 years ago today, Pandemic Year. It had been a month since I opened my "side project" (lol) cat rescue in the spare room of my flat in London.
I saw an ad for a male kitten with "balance & walking problems" who urgently needed a home. And so it began. HAPPY SMOL PAUL DAY!

Oh my god who fucking cares lads. Why are you basing policy on whether or not you're meeting a budget forecast by a billion here or there, it's not real. There are far more important things to concern yourself with!
This OBR/Treasury row on who said what, when... is very muddy and complicated.
A few points:
• idea that the OBR said on Oct 31 Reeves was already meeting her target by £4b isn't really the full picture - fcast excluded the welfare u-turns since March (some media have pointed that out, others not)

I’ve had what little PIP I was awarded taken from me and “re-awarded” four times over the past 16 years, causing me terrible mental anguish. So the Mail, The Sun and let’s face it, their dreadful readership can poke their “Benefit Street” headlines up their clenched arseholes. Nobody likes a bully.
