Laura should check with Reuters first; they explained how the OBR got their forecast wrong, forgetting to include the March Welfare U-turn. Consequently, their reported surplus disappeared. Some media have reported that; others haven’t. I wonder why.

This is so tragic and unnecessary. My prayers go out to her family and loved ones.
Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.
She didn't want to deploy to D.C.
"She hated it. She cried about it."
But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.
May she rest in peace.
