@nee_massey I like it, puts me in mind of Linda Perhacs, which is no bad thing.

@Stsantek Problem is that pay rises are also often based on inflation from the year before, so if you get a year with high inflation, which gets used to calculate the TL, the following year you get a big earnings jump, which then gets used to calculate the NEXT TL

Posting this today while hopefully some you are still with your nans for the bank holiday and can explain it to them. We can replace the triple lock with a double lock, increasing pensions by the higher of inflation or wage growth. Pensioners will still more than keep pace with working people. They are currently racing ahead of them, their earnings increasing faster than those of working people. The 2.5% floor is arbitrary, invented by the Lib Dems in the same manifesto that promised to scrap tuition fees, then adopted by the Tories as a bribe to pensioner voters. The reality is that we can’t target investment and support if arbitrary amount of public money is distributed to all people of pension age regardless of need (and yes, contribution). It has no logic… it will keep boosting pensions faster than the rest of the economy indefinitely, with no ceiling. I am a socialist but the triple lock is just a bribe to dependable voters.

@anon_opin If you ever go to a do where they have a hog roast, ask for an ear. 😗👌

Pork scratchings are great. I've also had some chicken skin "crisps" which were delicious. We should have more deep fried animal skin snacks. Let's have crispy turkey skin, sheep skin, cattle skin, tuna skin, and so on. Nose to tail, people. Nose to tail.

@NotFarLeftAtAll How do you even cook sausages to look like that? steam them?

What's missing from this banging full English breakfast?

@thesundaysport Houston we are Go for having a shit

NASA boffins have fixed the Orion shithouse. Now here's an angle we can work with.

@iamufohunter Fear & greed

Need a honest opinion, What's stopping humans to just live in peace together ?

@MarkGriffin59 That, my friend is Fiscal Drag.

This is already the best reason I’ve ever been trending

@GeoffNorcott also, you need new chopping boards Geoff

I think I might be in the process of making the worst ever sandwich. Wanted to share the moment 🙏

@GeoffNorcott bit of Branston on that and it'll be banging

@louderry @Bankersbonus1 @RachelReevesMP @LabourParty @TrisOsborneMP that's houses for sale, not sold. Loads of BTL landlords listing due to Renters Rights bill/increased tax/stubbornly high interest rates

@Bankersbonus1 @RachelReevesMP @LabourParty @TrisOsborneMP Thats odd, house sales are up. theguardian.com/money/2026/feb…

My son works for a big estate agent: they let 10 people in sales redundant: 1 week pay. Market is dead. Thanks @RachelReevesMP and @LabourParty @TrisOsborneMP

@DPJHodges Is an actual criminal charge the threshold for action of this type by an employer?

There may be other facts to come out. But if, as currently being reported, Scott Mills really has been sacked because of an offence that was allegedly committed 30 years ago, and that failed to even meet the basic evidential threshold for a prosecution, then that's insane.

Time to fly. On this day in 1979, the scene of Drax (Michael Lonsdale) being ejected into space was filmed for MOONRAKER.

@CountBinface “It’s a flange…”

What is the collective noun for a group of c***s?

@fesshole Oh the irony, when it was you who made HER toes curl.

In my early 20s I was occasionally shagging my Mum's mate who was then early 40s. Forty years on they're both in the same nursing home. The weekly visits are now the most excruciatingly toe-curling hours of my life.

@rebekkarnold Hi You can contribute up to £20k in ISAs each year Your current LISA payments count towards this limit Easiest way to invest in a stocks and shares ISA is via an online platform AJBell is good, but shop around Choose an S&P500 tracker fund Set up reg payments Now is fine

I realise it’s 7:30am on a Saturday, but I need someone to explain managed ISAs/S&P 500 etc to me like I’m 5 years old, I want to start but my brain can’t understand any of it.

@Jenny_1884 @Senior453601K All using VPNs if you look

@PauloNoggy Ground rent cap = buyers worried freeholders will increase service charges Pensions liable to IHT, investors may look to liquidate other assets Demand for housing, but not unaffordable housing Unrealistic seller expectations re price, because don't want to admit bad investment

@PauloNoggy Income tax % on rent increasing Renters Rights bill making BTL less attractive Lots of landlords trying to sell with more to do so soon BTL LLs not buying Lag on completions data from Land Reg - "asking prices" irrelevant Expected falls in mort rates now not happening

Uk house prices coming down like walls of Jericho
