US soldiers stationed in Germany being advised to go and use a foodbank & social benefits supplied by an EU country.

State pension generosity compared: how does the UK measure up? | Fidelity UK Get all the latest news, views and opinions from Fidelityโ€™s savings and investment experts on saving and investing for your retirement.

2m UK pensioners live in poverty, 110,000 a year die in fuel poverty.

Neoliberals pushing to cut/freeze state pension.

Evidence: UK state pension is the worst among G7 nations, last on replacement rates, joint-last on state pension spending.

The BBCโ€™s main news story: At least four prisoners freed in error still at large, BBC told The government is under increasing pressure after a number of high-profile wrong releases.

the way BBC News is running with these stories, in a way they didnโ€™t during years of the Tory government, suggests the policy to avoid accusations of bias is to be friendlier to a Tory government & be harder on a Labour government

Trump ally Infantino to award first Fifa peace prize at World Cup draw in DC Fifa unveils a new peace prize to be awarded at the 2026 World Cup draw in Washington, citing a mission to honor efforts to end conflict
