Starmer forced to cut short visit to housing development after protest by farmers. Democracy huh!!! Self interest - sod those that can’t afford homes. Lost interest in farmers plight when they allowed “diddly squat” millionaire egos and mentality to highjack their issue.

Nationwide warns Reeves against cutting tax breaks on cash Isas. If this is true - the City - the ever greedy City - must be put back in their little box!!! Pensioners save with Cash ISAs - do not save routinely in long term assets. This hits pensioners and would be house buyers simultaneously!! No!

Water industry promises £22bn of environmental investment, funded by rising bills. No!! The shareholders and Boardroom have enjoyed funds that should have been invested in infrastructure in decades since Thatcher privatisation. They used our money to pay themselves - now THEY should be made to pay!!

UK low- to middle-income families far poorer than OECD counterparts – study. It’s rents and the state of the rental market that needs scrutiny and legislation. Rents being pushed ever higher - profits taken on poorly maintained housing. Let’s have some rules that are fair to both sides.

Falling white-collar pay and the cost to society. While corporates and shareholders push people with qualifications and degrees into benefits as they drive salaries down with taxpayers picking up bill. The wealthy are demonising those on benefits. It’s let them eat cake and live on the streets!

The TODAY program is fast becoming the spokesperson for a minority party and a South African. Neither of which I pay my licence fee for. Rubbish. Not interesting. Not relevant. Are you going to report on other corporates on a routine basis.

Why is TODAY program devoting so much of its air time to a South African and a small political organisation?

UK pay growth leaps to 5.2%, reducing chances of interest rate cut. If pay is up - benefits bill is reduced!! Every tax payer should be incensed by fact that we are subsidising payroll of every company that pays less than starting point for UC. Higher tax payers will be among those perpetuating it.

UK’s bumper pay rises show inflation is tricky to shift. How’s about a “top down approach” on this. We only ever hear about the effect of the pay increases for “workers” not about the impact of significantly higher increases and bonuses of board and Senior Mngmnt. They all impact same P&L account.

Corporates complaining about NI increase. Amazing how they don’t complain about board bonuses. How’s about cutting dividends and bonuses and start paying more in lower pay and employ more. That will ensure benefits bill for UK is reduced as we taxpayers won’t be subsidising their payroll costs.
