Probably not what you’re looking for, but in 2025, women are still massively discriminated against, in every aspect of health & tech

My husband is disabled with Long Covid (invisible disability). we traveled with Jet2 recently. Pre-booked assistance. I would highly recommend using it, saves precious energy and reduces stress. Coming back at Bristol, 👩✈️ pressured him to get him to walk to terminal, had to advocate strongly for help

The UK pension is shockingly low but this is not news. I have been in work for 37 years and right from the start, the very clear message has been pay into a workplace pension or start your own. No one retiring in last 20 years should be relying solely on state pension.

My point is why do we treat pets as more worthy? We value their quality of life and don’t want to let them suffer. But human life, sure, let’s leave people rot with dementia, needing a feeding tube, confused with zero quality of life. I’d rather be the dog!

When you’ve cared for a dementia sufferer who is violent and is locked in a secure facility 24/7, who begs to be released from their suffering, maybe you’ll understand.
We don’t treat our pets like this, but starving a person to death over painful weeks is apparently fine at end of life! Sign me up

It is exhausting to hear even as the carer - vitamin C, D, B12, physio, rest, yoga, breathing exercises….all well-meaning suggestions. After 4 years of my husband being very ill with LC, it has eased up as people realise there’s no quick fix for his chronic illness

AZ revenue for 2024 was $50 billion and they made $45,811 million profit - why are they asking for tax payers money?? They can pay for their own manufacturing plants

Clearly £2 billion profit for Tesco is not enough, and instead of increasing corporation tax, the government uses our taxes to subsidise the low wages in Universal Credit, just madness!
When are we taking action??

I’m sorry you are affected m. You’re not alone & the voices get louder. My husband, was a hardworking teacher, infected 2021, never able to go back & sacked. Same with fatigue, basic tasks like a shower planned etc. hardly able to leave the house, too tired to socialise. Low quality of life 💔

Unfortunately many will be part of probate, so it’s not that simple. HMRC is horribly slow to deal with submissions. It takes 1-2 years to sort after death when IHT is due. I’m 13 months into this process.
There is, however, lots of commercial property sat empty which could be bought & converted

Intentions are good, just like second home tax. Was going to support new housing but instead swallowed up in the budget deficit. It won’t be spent opening the loos again. And when visitor numbers drop further they’ll roll back on tourism tax but the damage will be done. More admin for small biz too

It’s naive, pension income is not the only measure for retirees. My parent has a modest pension but has an astonishing amount in ISAs, they do not need the fuel allowance. You’d need to scrutinise all pensioners assets.
