I wonder if anyone can join the dots between the price of a 1st class stamp rising to £1.80 and a dramatic decline in the number of letters posted? 🤔 #RoyalMail

There wasn't a social care crisis when local authorities provided the service free of charge. Then Thatcher privatised it and private equity bosses started charging £8000 a month.

Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030. It will be replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension. Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage. Poverty awaits future retirees. £500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.

Pension tax credits are ony given to anyone with income less than the current (new)state pension, circa £12.5k pa. Such riches, eh?

House builders say rent controls would 'make housing more expensive'. Water companies say their industry is 'too expensive to nationalise'. Billionaires say wealth tax would 'force them to leave the country'. But as Mandy Rice-Davies observed, they would say that, wouldn't they?

Sorry but the doom I feel with the AI race is somewhat similar to what I felt at the start of the pandemic. Many voices raising the alarm & urging action before it’s too late but they’re being labelled as alarmists while most people are oblivious & governments are too slow to pay attention & act.

Just because old sausage fingers wears a crown, does this make him genetically incapable of lying? Spencer pointed out that KC didn't actually deny he'd said those words, he just implied that Spencer had misremembered. We've seen the King's public hissy fits on camera - how much worse in private?

Really? When are you going to start, then? Bit difficult to swallow this, given the radio silence from Labour when RNLI stations have to shut down due to attacks by the racists you're trying to appease.

I didn't partake of any public mourning, but to be fair, it did feel like a pretty seismic event at the time. And the Royal Family did get a lot of backlash - Tony Blair had to gently prod Her Maj to appear less of a cold fish!

It was when they had just got engaged, actually. 19 year old Diana, when asked if she was in love, declared "Of course!" Charles then said "whatever love is, anyway" 😒. He's a spoilt, cold, arrogant, sausage-fingered narcissist #AbolishTheMonarchy

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £354m a year tax free from the tax payer including £132m personal spending money and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. Like if he needs a pay cut. RT if you want the Monarchy gone. #NotmyKing

I'm sure the State Pension will still exist in 30 years. But the pension age will have increased to 80, automatically reducing the number of claimants by half.

cath555.bsky.social @cath555.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
So if King Charles is claiming 'grief can colour memory' and Earl Spencer is lying (gaslighting, much?) is he saying his own memory is clear and thus admitting he had no grief over Diana?

In the latest from normal island, an English village’s meaningless stunt vote to leave the UK receives more coverage than an agreement of the leading parties of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales calling for independence referendums. We live in a theme park.

1. Let the people of Pidlington leave the UK. 2. Revoke any UK driving licences, passports and official documents they may hold. 3. Arrest any of them found outside Pidlington on the basis that they would then be undocumented migrants.
