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.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

It’s my birthday!
Bunty has given me breakfast in bed allowing me to smear jam on her croissants.
Later on Jill in the village shop is giving me a taste of her Lemon drizzle.
Then Bunty & I will settle down & watch our DVD of Liz Truss’s greatest moments! 🥳

Once in a while a book comes along that's essential reading for #Socialhousing ,"Middle Ground" is one such book

It had such an effect on me, I contacted Joe Carpenter and my latest is a Q&A about Contractor/DLO systems he used

Bbc keep barking at any Lab politician today "are you going to say sorry for increasing taxes?"
I can't remember them constantly hectoring & demanding apologies from Johnson's govt for increasing taxes,not delivering on ANY manifesto promises. Or demanding apologies from Farage & Tories for Brexit.

'How can anyone believe what your saying?' says Tory-blind Fiona. Incredible. The news cycle should be: Reform's proven Russian links, the ex-PM is being investigated for multiple frauds & killed 250,000 people, the budget is still responding to Truss' clusterfuck #bbcqt
