@MartinSLewis Up £16 a month.

News. How much will your council tax rise on 1 April?... moneysavingexpert.com/news/2026/03/c…

@boys_nicholas I have a townhouse and I love it. Walkable to town and station etc but as the name would suggest with limited parking.

A key point. Townhouses (terraced houses in 🇬🇧) are perfect gentle density, gifting private homes & gardens but at twice or more of density of detached homes gifting walkable shops, streets & schools. They need texture, sense of place & variety in a pattern to appeal

@NFBUK @activetraveleng @LilianGreenwood @transportgovuk @Chris_Boardman @ukhomeoffice @livingstreets Just seen a picture of another new one in Harlow. I thought the construction of new ones had been paused.

@activetraveleng @LilianGreenwood @transportgovuk @Chris_Boardman @ukhomeoffice @livingstreets Just going to leave this here and ask yourselves why is it blind peoples safety and accessibility is optional when it comes to designing floating bus stops in cycle lanes in bus stops? Why were concerns raised ignored in the new Bus Services Bill 2025?

Today, Active Travel England has announced a new programme to help councils design streets that are safer for women and girls. 9 in 10 women have felt unsafe walking at night. Designing streets that feel safe isn’t optional – it’s essential. Read more: activetravelengland.gov.uk/news/nationwid…

@SkyNews @Chesh Town & Parish councils can increase their take by what they like as there are no restrictions. I am in the same council tax band as my sister but I pay £113 a year more even though we are in the same local authority just in different towns.

Sky's @Chesh has been to Windsor and Maidenhead, where council tax is going up by 7.5%, and neighbouring Slough where it is going up by the standard 5%. This is the postcode lottery behind new council tax rises

@CPhilpOfficial @ConsPost What an utter shambles our country has become.

I heard reports of second-tier universities from far-flung parts of the country claiming thousands of students - mainly from outside the UK - are studying in office buildings in London So I went to have a look - video below I’m concerned these international students using “London campuses” are using study to get a visa

@JosephineCumbo Spot on.

The UK pension regulator's vision for defined contribution pensions is that they support "UK prosperity more widely". The legal duty of trustees is to act in your best interests, not the economy. Statements like this undermine trust in #pensions. thepensionsregulator.gov.uk/en/media-hub/p…

Freedom can also be lost little by little, by what the Fabians call the doctrine of gradualness. A little more taxation here, a little more government expenditure there, year after year until the people are no longer the masters of the state but its servants. There are always, it seems, good reasons advanced for the state to have more power. But rarely for the state to divest itself of power. Each new problem becomes an excuse for more government intervention and less individual responsibility.

@JackMerched @BTP @TfL Maaate F off might be more effective

Staggered at this apparent ‘advice’ 👇 to ‘be nice’ and to flatter male predators from @BTP and @TfL. Yes, women will do what they can to survive a threatening situation with a man. But that will then be used against them in court as evidence of their ‘consent’.

@ChimeraX2021 @e1duchess Things have tipping points many simply won’t pay £4 or £5 for a coffee the result being there is then no revenue. Back to taking your own thermos flask.

@e1duchess @JanGoodeve Apart from fares where do expect revenue to keep things running to come from?

Blinking heck. £19 entry ticket for Beatrix Potter’s house. £16 for the Wordsworth Museum. My daughter is currently on a short break in the beautiful Lake District but the price of everything is through the roof. She realised that it was going to be a pricey holiday when she was charged FIVE ENGLISH POUNDS for a takeaway coffee at Oxenholme station. Luckily the weather is good so she is going to make the most of the stunning landscape but that’s not the point . Ordinary Brits are being priced out of their own heritage and it makes me a little cross. It’s no wonder that Britons are going abroad for their holidays when everything in the UK is so expensive. Once you factor in train travel and accommodation there is precious little left for exorbitant museum entry tickets .

Hatfield's new M&S foodhall finally opens whtimes.co.uk/news/25942649.…

Is it any wonder people avoid buying flats, fire safety/insurance issues, unfair service charges, greater awareness of leasehold issues not to mention anti social behaviour not addressed in some areas.

@doctor_rahmeh We don’t care how expensive Gail’s croissants are or if it’s gentrification. We don’t care if it’s owned by Israelis. This is a free country and people have the right to sell fucking bread without having their windows put in.

🚨NEW: The Green Party would drop the Church of England’s status as Britain’s established church if it wins the next general election [@DailyMail]

He wants to deploy UK forces we don’t have to keep oil and gas flowing 3,000 miles away but forbids any new investment in our sector of the North Sea. Bonkers.
