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.

The heavy rain missed Catford #parkrun but that didn’t really help as my legs were very tired from Wednesday’s muddy hills. Dealing with messy squirrels, foxes & dogs (yuk) before (course check) before - finding the strangest dumped food - a whole watermelon! #GreenRunners #RunningPunks #JogDivision

If you’re British and of a certain age, you’ll recognise everything in this rather lovely short film 🙂
This BBC kids tv advert from 1998 is still very impressive and very lovely

A billion-pound jump in gambling income in a single year is not a success story — it’s a warning. We need stronger taxes and urgent action to protect people from an industry built on addiction.
