@JamesMelville Just seen our council rise indications in the press, almost double inflation!! How is this OK? Let alone the fact our prime minister previously promised no council tax rises. #bonkersbritain
“Not a penny more on your Council Tax.” - that’s what Keir Starmer previously promised. Yet again, more broken promises, as council tax could increase by more than £100 on average next year after the Labour government confirmed bills will be allowed to rise by 5%.
@MartinSLewis Forget politicians. Martin Lewis for chancellor! Always thinking outside of the box to ensure fairness for ALL. Of course there are pensioners who don’t need the financial support but a lot will need this assistance to get through the winter. #pensioners#winterfuelpayment
@MrLloydJames @LandRover_UK Has yours been replaced now? Any other issues since? Part of me just wants to get rid of it. Worried this is the start of more problems to come.
@RishiSunak@FCDOGovUK Protect your UK citizens by not inadvertently forcing them to travel to a high risk area! Travel plans cannot be changed without huge financial penalty until the govt admit and advise against travel to #egypt
@FCDOtravelGovUK@inbloomalex Change the advise! You are inadvertently forcing many families into an area of high risk as travel companies/ airlines/ hotels will not allow changes because insurance won’t cover them for losses unless it’s a govt advisory not to travel.
With 1/2 term looming is @GOVUK sure that it’s safe for UK citizens to travel to #egypt ? Popular resorts are a mere few hours away from conflict… travel companies will not offer a transfer to another location or refund without the gov changing its travel warning…@BBCWorld
I received THE BEST outpatient care I could have possibly asked for/ expected today @TheCountessNHS . It was beyond all of my expectations. THANK YOU! 💙 #SaveTheNHS 💙
@sophielouisecc The amount of re taxing the same money in this country is insane. How many times does the same £1 get taxed?! You can use any example but with the death of someone surely that should be seen as a tax free gift?
Incredible performances! Thank you @VenueCymru and @TheBodyguardUK for a truly brilliant end to a lovely Saturday with Super Nan in the #welsh#sunshine 🏴 ☀️ 🎭 🎤 ✨ 🪩

For a number of years @NAHTnews have campaigned to reduce the number of statutory assessments for primary aged children.
This week will be the last time children aged 6 and 7 in England will take statutory KS1 SATs tests. Optional test materials will be available in 2024.
