Thinking about the impact of the triple lock on the state pension can be confusing as there's a number of interacting moving parts (earnings, inflation, 2.5%). 🤷‍♂️❓ But here's a visualisation that hopefully might help...1/5

This is it! Last sunset at 7pm for London until Sunday, 28 March 2027. Try to maximise what you have of this evening after work, it will be very nice.

I wonder how Ol’ Jim’s factory in France is doing. The one he opened after the Brexit he was so desperately agitating for?

A completely inconsequential competition that dominates the height of summer to satiate the demands of overseas investors; While fans of the elite game are brushed aside and treated as an afterthought. Can’t see it changing unfortunately.

Would be interesting to see the numbers using the tunnels when toll-free: regularly see vehicles parked up on the A2 hard shoulder heading north waiting for 10 minutes or more for 10pm to tick round….

If I've learned anything from writing a book about an infamous (and murderous) fraudster, it's that people who are corrupt have an affinity for others who share their values. FIFA was always an organisation with which Trump 'could do business' 😉

Farcical psychodrama returns! The new Private Eye is out now.
A photo of the front cover of issue 1675 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The cover parodies the TV drama Rivals, with the headline “FARCICAL PSYCHODRAMA RETURNS!” The central image shows portrayals of senior Labour politicians posed in a countryside setting around a bed. A speech bubble reads, “We are all trying to screw each other!” At the bottom, a heading reads “YES! THEY ARE BONKERS!”
