Pension triple lock: what's REALLY happening. There’s a huge amount of misunderstanding out there. My must-watch mini-briefing I hope keeps it as simple as possible, so you can see how it’d likely roughly really work. As for is it good or bad… that’s your decision, not mine.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 💸 The UK lost out on £59.2bn in unpaid taxes last year— that means 6.4% of all tax owed was avoided, evaded, or accidentally unpaid. That’s according govt’s new Tax Gap report (2026): www.gov.uk/government/s... 1/3

Amazon made £55 MILLION in profit in the UK last year, but only paid a fraction of what they should in tax. Jeff Bezos is rubbing his hands together, avoiding tax, while we pay our dues. Don't think that's right? Sign the petition now.

It is a good thing that No.10 attacking Vance is the first and most read story on BBC News, but ultimately there is going to have to be more substantive action on foreign interference in our politics and national life, starting with money and social media. Govt has dithered.

Most households subject to the two-child limit already have at least one adult in work. Of the minority of households that are not in work, more than nine-in-ten have a child under three or a disabled family member with additional care needs, making any return to the labour market challenging.
Chart showing families impacted by the two-child limit, by work status and specified characteristics: UK 2023-24

Most households subject to the two-child limit (59 per cent) already have at least one adult in work. Of the minority of households that are not in work, more than nine-in-ten (91 per cent) either have a child under three or a disabled family member with additional care needs, making any return to the labour market additionally challenging. Overall, that leaves over 95% of families benefiting from the two-child limit either working, with a child under three, or with a disabled family member.

To all those ‘child poverty’ warriors out there: child poverty is poverty. Children are poor because their families are poor and their communities are poor. Stratifying poverty might make it more palatable to talk about, but it misrepresents the challenges.
