In 2024-25, there were 459,288 fines issued for taking children on holiday in term time.

Fines are £80 if paid within 21 days or £160 if paid within 28 days.

This means parents were issued with fines of £36.7m to £73.5m in just one year.

How I'd fix the UK State Pension

Anyone who has saved for retirement has given up an ability to do stuff today.

What do they get for that sacrifice?

Less help, less support. The system is broken!

Should the UK copy Spain's wealth tax?

Is more tax the answer?

Dan Neidle: "The politicians know the answer but don't know how to do it and get re-elected"

You're at least £530 per year worse off because of this stealth tax:

*if your salary is £15,000+

Our tax brackets have been frozen since 2020 – and they're frozen until at least 2028

The government can claim they haven't put taxes up, yet we're paying £27.6 billion more of it.

@MelissaAtAll I am open you your view on this and I must admit I did think am I being insensitive here… but thought if I died I would hope people still shared some of my best moments. Please let me know if you think I am wrong the last thing I want to do is cause offence.

@MelissaAtAll Thanks for this. I am aware of the fact she passed away. But the ‘who is she’ clip is one of the most well recognised clips in U.K. TV history and to stop using it because she passed away in my opinion is the wrong way to go about it. Should we not celebrate her?
