Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

This little ivory stopped me in my tracks at the V&A recently.
Dated about 1200, the expressions of agony in the tiny faces - of Joseph of Arimathea as he lowers Christ's body from the cross, and of the Christ himself - is astonishing and deeply moving.

Labour have lost voters who care about nature to the Green Party - a majority of people in the UK care about restoring nature. It’s understandable as Labour lied about protecting nature up until the day before the election and have since thrown nature under the bus.
A poll of readers of my monthly newsletter (464 responses) shows that 44% of them say they voted #Labour in 2024 but only 7% would vote that way in a general election tomorrow.
Massive swing to the #Greens.
