Ever wondered where your tax money actually goes? 💷
@BBCNews broke it down by imagining we each handed the Government £100.

Here’s how that £100 was spent in 2023–24:

£22 → NHS
£6 → Defence
£10 → Education
£10 → Debt interest
£11.40 → State pensions
£4.15 → Working-age welfare (PIP, Universal Credit, health support)
£0.50 → Asylum system
£0.70 → Overseas aid

What strikes me most is this: immigration dominates headlines and public debate, consistently ranking as one of the nation’s top concerns — yet the asylum system accounts for just 0.5% of public spending.

A reminder that sometimes the loudest issues aren’t the largest ones.

💡Unite's report finds that energy companies made £30 billion profit in 2024. £500 of the average household energy bill goes on pure profit. About a third. Why is the government not looking at this? #profiteering

Not enough people know CPR. It’s a life skill that everyone should have and be taught in schools. @TheBHF #EveryMinuteMatters

[QPR FC @QPR]

When @VinnieJones65 talks, you listen.

Are you one of the 45% of football fans who wouldn't be confident giving CPR?

Learn CPR in just 15 mins.

3-year-old Morgan Ridler, who has terminal cancer, was due to attend the British GP at Silverstone but is now unable to go as he continues to battle his rare condition, so Mercedes brought the race to him, taking a Formula 1 car to his home in Wales ❤️
