Your energy bill is £1,711.
It was £1,042 in Jan 2021, and costs are lower now.

Energy company profits have quadrupled, British Gas' increased 10x.

Ofgem works to boost profits and passes all costs onto you, then when prices drop, caps don't.

Their profits cause your poverty.

[Chris Corney @ChrisCorney1]

You have 410 MPs man. Stop the price cap rise if you want to.

Or admit you don't want to stop it.

Tesco pays its CEO £27,397 a day.

It pays its staff £17,406 a year.
And its Store Managers £43,025 a year.

Tesco funnels money to its CEO and owners while giving its staff a pittance.

@ScarredForLife2 Absolutely spot on, terrified me at the time and still gives me the chills now when I think about it.

Woooah… this is a very smart/evil scam. The web savvy will immediately spot the dodgy email address, but I bet plenty won’t.

Graham Thorpe, England cricketer, with beautiful daughters, loving wife, family and friends.

Took his own life.

Too many men in particular, at a time when information is plentiful, charities on standby, text, phone and email services ready, are deciding to end their lives.

Many reading this, like me will have hit very close to where Graham got but stopped short, just. It's a desperate, confusing and frightening experience mixed with a matter of factness that at the time feels sobering, you feel you're thinking and acting clearly but you're not.

Graham's wife took the decision to tell the world of how Graham both lived and sadly died, in the hope that if you or someone you know are struggling you'll grab one of the branches set out below and contact someone who can and will help.

When someone takes their life, there's a trail of pain, questions and few answers, but many of us know that anxiety and depression gets so bad that life simply doesn't feel worth living. In my case I was lucky, very lucky. I ran, and ran some more until clouds lifted, the anxiety moved away and I could think straight. Looking back I've been seconds away from death several times, so reading about Graham is incredibly confronting, upsetting and sobering as I'm sure it is for many.

I didn't know Graham but his story is all too familiar. Anxiety and depression for men, particularly men, hides invisible as the forced machismo creates a mask, a shield. You laugh, you crack a joke, you "look" ok and you carry on. But then one day as if you were preparing a meal, you take stock, prepare your deed and,

You take your life.

Leaving others with a lifetime of pain.

You don't mean to, it's the last thing you want, but it's the unintended consequences of a decision made, nonetheless.

If you're reading this, and can relate to any of the above, firstly have 5 minutes to think of Graham, his children and his wife, they need all the love and support that can be sent their way.

Then, if you're anxious, depressed, really struggling, ease know that my email is open to sound off, that charities such as the Samaritans are there 24/7, SANE charity phone line is open from 4pm to 10pm daily, MIND have drop in centres nationally and emergence services will always help on 999 or NHS 111.

To Graham and his family, you're on my mind and the mind of many, and to those struggling, you're a second away from help even in your darkest hour.

Protect life. Yours.

Stand up. Speak out.

From the one on the left to the one on the right was a gap of maybe 10 minutes. Taken this morning in Glastonbury. Shortly after the second one I heard thunder off in the distance and then I got very wet from a sudden downpour. Looking now you wouldn't believe they were taken on the same day, let alone within 10 minutes of each other.

Goddess procession going past my shop in Glastonbury just now. Beautiful event!

DS Raynor tried warning the Guv that messing with the Etonian mob would have consequences, but DCI Starmer isn't the type to back down.

July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably larger effort – not just for our nation, but for all mankind. As I look back on what we accomplished 55 years ago, I am still inspired by what we all saw and did – the best of America and the best of humanity. Thank you for the privilege and the honor of serving you, and for being part of this exciting and wonderous journey with me. #Apollo11

The arrival of two Hellenic F-4Es has been my personal highlight from an action-packed RIAT Friday. Our live broadcast is ongoing as we capture further post-display arrivals.
