Today's headline - on all media - that "asylum seekers are to be banned from taking taxis to medical appointments" silently implies that they're doing it to take the piss.
In fact, they are obliged to under current rules - introduced by previous governments - to keep them under surveillance.

It's not a problem: she just needs to cut down on the avocados, champagne and bingo; and he needs to cut out Netflix, cigarettes and alcohol.
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.

2.7 million people who qualify for Universal Credit are in work, but receive such a low income that tax payers need to pay them enough to survive. It's not people on benefits who are freeloading off us, it is businesses paying their workers too little.

Brexit has made the UK economy 6%–8% smaller than it would have been if we had stayed in the EU. That is £165bn-£225bn a year.
That is a loss to the government budget of around £65bn to £90bn a year.
Imagine what Reeves could do with that kind of money.

A survey cited by the Express and Telegraph found that older individuals are the most concerned about the negative impact of the Budget on their personal finances.
Don't forget: the older you are, the more likely you are to have voted for Brexit, the biggest avoidable blight on the economy.

The government admits profiteering is rife in children’s care and social care, yet it still wants private finance back in the NHS. This is an ideology where a few will profit while everyone else pays.

I’d have thought nothing cuts more against our precious British values than selling out your country for Russian bribes…
And yet Reform, the right‑wing press, and all those self‑styled guardians of these values have nothing to say
…funny that.

That's how the corrupt Tories do business, while people died. That's the same Dido Harding who oversaw the hack of millions of customers records from TalkTalk and hadn't got a clue if they were encrypted or not🤦♂️ So why not give her 37bn to play with. It is truly sickening how corrupt they are.

Lots of comment suggesting this story reveals Reform’s allegiance to Putin. Maybe so but it also reveals Reform’s willingness to exploit public office for personal enrichment. Don’t forget Farage has earned over a million quid exploiting his profile. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
