Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

You can’t leave a pension in your will. You need to tell the pension provider or trustees who you want the money to go to if you die, it’s done via a nomination form or expression of wishes form. Make sure yours is done and up to date. Clip courtesy of @thismorning

[Katharine Birbalsingh @Miss_Snuffy]

We are brainwashing an entire generation.

Indulgence of victimhood.

Rejection of agency.

Abdication of responsibility.

This is an absolute scandal. 👇🤯🤯

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Many saying "why don't they just make State Pension tax free?" Well it's always been taxable, so high earners pay tax on it (think someone with £1m earnings and investment income age 70).

The change is that from April someone with ONLY full new state pension income will need to pay tax. And regardless of the triple lock or not, that would’ve happened at some point if you continue to freeze the personal allowance – that’s the prime cause of this for me.

4AM and the world is quiet… but for some of us, our minds are anything but. 🌙💚

If you're awake fighting battles nobody can see, keep going. You’ve made it through every dark night so far. Morning is coming. 💪

You are NEVER alone.
