@RSA_Observer Do police all do first aid training up to first responder level? It doesn't look like it from the video, surely it would be sensible. Armed police carry AEDs
@DonnaLouise1212 Looks like they found the high-vis jackets and using them to get into the station and other areas without being stopped. Well done for standing your ground, but I would've called the Transport Police.
@YETICoolers we were at scout camp at the weekend and our current coolers are pretty good but we wondered if you ever have one that needs testing / rehoming, we would love to assist :)
@MartinSLewis She could help most people by raising the personal allowance and make zero stamp duty on downsizing for over 55s and only pay the difference when buying.

๐จYour pension is about to be raided and HMRC just confirmed how....
From April 2027, pension schemes will be allowed to withhold up to half of your retirement savings to cover inheritance tax. They can hold onto that money for up to 15 months while they work out what is owed
Pensions used to sit outside inheritance tax entirely. From April 2027 they get hit with the standard 40% rate like everything else
So your family loses up to 40% of what you spent a lifetime saving. The pension company sits on the other half for over a year before anyone sees a penny. Funeral costs, mortgage payments, school fees, none of it can be covered while the money is locked up
The policy was announced by Rachel Reeves in the 2024 Budget. The operational detail confirming the 50% withholding rule was quietly published by HMRC this week, with final guidance not due until spring 2027, weeks before the deadline
10,500 estates will be dragged into inheritance tax for the first time. Another 38,500 will pay more. Average extra bill, ยฃ34,000
And this is how these things always work. The threshold starts high, the public is told it only affects the wealthy, and the numbers stay frozen while everything else rises
The inheritance tax threshold has been stuck at ยฃ325,000 since 2009. House prices have nearly doubled in that time
Every year, more ordinary families get pulled in without a single rule changing
The government calls this closing a loophole. What it actually does is treat your pension like another revenue stream for the Treasury. Money you saved out of taxed income gets taxed again on the way out
If you have a pension, this affects you. Check what your scheme is planning before April 2027 arrives

๐จ WE ARE STUCK , AND WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP ๐จ
Right now, we cannot move any further forward with our new kennel project without your support. ๐
We have a brand new kennel block waiting to be delivered and installed, which means more dogs can finally come into safety and receive the help they desperately need.
We completely understand that times are incredibly hard for everyone and donating isnโt always easy right now. But we are asking, from the bottom of our hearts, if you could spare even just ยฃ1, it truly would make a huge difference. ๐
So far we have:โจโ Bought the rebar and groundwork materialsโจโ Installed the drainageโจโ Prepared the site ready for concrete
But now weโve hit a wallโฆ
The cost of materials has risen massively and we urgently need funding for:โจ๐ธ Two swivel dumpersโจ๐ธ Concrete for the base
Once the concrete is down, we can finally bring the company in to install the kennel block and open our doors to so many more dogs crying out for help.
Every share, every donation, every bit of support matters more than you know.
Please help us keep going.โจPlease help us build a safe place for dogs with nowhere else to turn. โค๏ธ
๐พ ยฃ1 can help change a lifeโจ๐พ Sharing this post could reach someone who can help
Thank you for standing with us always.

@SkyNews Personally, I think people just want Government positions to be filled by people with real provable experience. Prime Minister should be a Project Manger who oversees the operation.
