The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.
We have spent too many hours today protecting baby blackbirds, which hatched in our garden a couple of weeks ago, from a cat. π
Do you remember David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak?
They spent 14 years cutting benefits, do you remember how much better off everyone else was?
No, because it all goes to the very richest.
Ahhh thanks, I was wondering why our cheaper contracts are going to increase by the same amount as another son's who has a more expensive contract. So a flat rate then. Such a big hike, you try and save money somewhere and it gets clawed back another way.
So my O2 bills are increasing by 22.5% next month due to their annual price rises, they are fairly new contracts. I think that's pretty grim. Not sure my clients would accept a hike like that with my fees. I'm slowly and surely getting priced out of this world.
Ahhh yes, lovely Skye. It's definitely under consideration here, the only issue is the journey for my children visiting.
If you could move or live anywhere in the UK, where would that be?
We lost our little dog today, totally unexpected and a huge shock. He may have been little but he's now left a big hole π
Happy New Year!
Kicking myself for not finalising my Sainsbury's delivery earlier... only have until 11pm to amend order and the website is broken. π¬
A couple of days in Manchester at daughter's graduation, I do love it there. Such a colourful, vibrant, busy city.
Did come back with a shocking cold though (I'm sure that's not Manchester's fault though π)
I'm not loving the already dark afternoons/evenings... how much longer to go? I need to explore countries, I'd be allowed to move to, with lots of light.
Ooops, completely forgot about BSky when my laptop restarted... what exciting things have happened recently?
A very Happy Birthday to you! π
Oh dear π¬
Parcel delivered, they completely bent it in half to get it through the letterbox... π Why, just why would anyone think that is okay
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #704,286!
Upgraded our phone contracts today to a ridiculous amount of data per month but will save Β£20/month! Lovely π
Congratulations!!! π
Thanks Julie π€πΌ I hope you're well.
Yikes!! Crazy π¬
Just realised a DD to Royal Sun Alliance, which I thought was for my life insurance, is not. I've no idea what it's for... cross with myself, as such a waste of money. Searching through emails I see More than Pet insurance is with them, but they said in 2021 I didn't have a policy... hmmm, perplexed
Well I have one too then as that's definitely how my youngest would ask as well π.
Awww that's so sweet, made me smile π
Congratulations!!

Ahh nice, and isn't it just
I had the pleasure of visiting Strasbourg twice in the last few months, visiting my daughter who was living there... what a lovely lovely city it is. I highly recommend a visit. So much going on, it's clean, transport is excellent (and cheap). Loved it!
Wishing you well! πͺπΌ
