@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com it’s worth telling people who qualify to claim the £5k starter saving rate for tax using firm R40. HMRC do NOT apply it automatically and I’ve never spoken to an advisor who has heard of it! I end up educating them! Thanks for highlighting this on your show. 😊

Alarm is growing in the Lords at a minority using undemocratic tactics to stall the assisted dying Bill.
1,100+ amendments – including a “grotesque” call to film every assisted death – aim to block progress, with risks to Lords reputation if they defy MPs' will.

“I am concerned about dying in pain.”
Shafaq is a professor of chronic pain, and has stage 4 cancer.
She knows the realities - and limits - of managing pain. And amongst the varied decisions she has to make about her care, she wants to make the decision that matters most - about how she dies.
