When my US distributor claims his state pension he told me it will be about USD 4000. That’s about 3 x more than the basic UK state pension I get. The cost of living there is nothing like 3 x more. My cousin is in Spain. The cost of living is much lower but there the state pension is also 3 x more

Boris Johnson knew exactly what damage Brexit would do to Britain and was a fervant remainer until he realised it might offer him the chance to climb the political ladder and make money at the same time. He was a self-serving greedy traitor who didn't give a toss about his fellow Britains.

"We need the Govt to prioritise cooling in settings where people are vulnerable, ensuring emergency services are properly equipped to respond to extreme heat, setting up cool spaces for the public, and introducing measures to ensure people can stay safe in the workplace." @adrianramsay.bsky.social
Adrian Ramsay
MP for Waveney Valley

"The hottest summer on record requires a response that meets the needs of the moment and our future, and the expected decision to allow new North Sea drilling would be a betrayal to a public that expects and wants more action on climate change. 

The summer has seen unprecedented wildfires, a drought and it's thought that thousands of people have died as a result of hot weather. 

This is a major threat to our country and we need the Government to step up."
