Failures of privatisation. Royal Mail to cut up to 2,500 jobs Foreign-owned RM doesn't meet letter delivery targets even after regulator lowered them. Postage: 1st class, £1.80, 2nd class 91p. When privatized in 2013: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p. Poor service at triple price. Customers fleeced.

Your regular reminder that a couple can already pass down a £1m property to their kids/grandkids (pass your home to spouse tax free; they get your £325k tax-free allowance - so £650k; you each get £175k "main residence allowance" if you pass to a direct relative - so £350k - total £1m).
