I know I'm a bit late to this, but I use the Martin Lewis comparison tool. My car insurance hasn't really changed in 10 years. Still around £180 - £200.
I get the cheapest quote & call my current insurers to see if they can match it & they normally do

This is the trouble for the Musk regime, no one fears them. We want to stop them & they misunderstand that for fear. Putin threatens to Nuke Europe & the UK at least once a month, yet here we are still taking the piss. We’re not the ones with the bespoke bunkers. 🤷♀️

Still struggling to understand why @UKLabour won’t open up an asylum processing centre in France. It would destroy the people smugglers model, remove the need to send people back, save shed loads of money and save lives!

Laura Kuenssberg: Labour's illegal immigration plan is clear - but is it effective?
The PM and his colleagues agree the illegal people smuggling trade in Britain must end - but there's huge disagreement over what should be done.

Is this a way for Starmer to save face on the Brexit change? ... 👇
Here' an idea ... 👇👇👇
The EU and UK are set to review the Brexit deal in 2026.
So why not hold a new Brexit referendum before that, in 2025? That way, the government can find out exactly what the public's position is after 10 years of Brexit.

This is also true in music and any woman with a profile calling out abuse, war crimes or pushing for systemic change
Men bleat about cancel culture but serious allegations are excused and washed away
Abusers get a media-led redemption arc then headline festivals. Some become president.

The way male journalists write about the targeted harassment and abuse of women online is so deeply fucked. Every single time I'm targeted some man writes an article that boils down to "wow she must be loving this attention!". No actually, bc being the target of a harassment & smear campaign sucks
