But his retirement plans are now in “disarray” and “ruined” cos he’s going to have to find an additional £208.33 per month?
He has £2-4 million in savings/investments but claims he is not “cash-rich” and his house was his only “pension”
Seriously @Telegraph, where do you find these people?🤣🤣🙄

Which means he has savings and investments that GENERATE £125,000 income PER YEAR
Meaning his savings and investments must be in the £2-4 million region (depending on the return)

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…

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

Do they think that is relevant? Did she in any way make this driver hit her?

Raiding the Warm Homes Plan to find the money for a one-off cut to energy bills is utterly perverse when the Plan exists precisely to insulate homes & thus keep bills lower in perpetuity- this simply isn’t serious #budget2025

The UK has more than enough money to fund our public services and rebuild our infrastructure. But it's hoarded by a tiny minority.
The 50 richest families now hold more wealth than 50% of the population combined.
A tax on the wealth of the top 1% would raise over £70 billion.

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.
Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

Great to have @unitetheunion.bsky.social campaigning so strongly on toilet availability.
It is a matter of public health and human dignity and also an issue of safety - if people are distracted by needing a toilet when driving a bus, that’s a risk that can be designed out by providing toilets.

These findings show a complete failure when it comes to providing decent toilet facilities for bus drivers. 1/2 ⤵️
