@TheSalesBull1 @Lee7dfzz We are fortunate enough that both our girls go to grammar school! I cannot tell you how happy this makes me!!!

In 1965 they started killing grammar schools 163 left 5.3% of state pupils Now it costs £25,000 a year to keep your kid away from the orcs Normal families priced out of their own child's future

@TheRealJamieKay Is this all cars or the 3p/mile EV levy 1.5p/mile phev?

£300 a year just for driving 10,000 miles. Pay-per-mile tax from 2028. Drive to work? Pay. Visit family? Pay. Live outside a big city? Pay more. Another “targeted” policy that hits ordinary people hardest.

@BladeoftheS I know there are caveats to this but on paper it looks disgusting!

Maximum monthly State Pension. Luxembourg £5,426 Norway £1,839 Switzerland £1,657 Denmark £1,486 Sweden £1,373 Belgium £1,338 Netherlands £1,322 France £1,254 Spain £1,238 UK £997 Guess which is unaffordable?

@xevekiah Pre nup! Marriage is 5% love 95% business! Make the sensible business choice!

I’m about to get married, and my fiancé knows I have an inheritance that was left to me by my grandparents. It’s in my name only, and I’ve been saving it for years. Now he’s saying that before we get married, I should put the entire inheritance into a joint account so we can “start fresh together,” or he doesn’t think we should go through with the wedding. I’m 33 already and this is something my family worked hard to leave me. I’m torn between wanting to build a life together and feeling like I’m being pressured to give up something important to me. What do you think I should do?

@comments_connie @JChimirie66677 @Annecagm @miriam_cates And often a 2nd job.

@JChimirie66677 @Annecagm @TweetForTheMany @miriam_cates Explained perfectly. Buying a house didn't come easy for a lot of us. It involved a lot of hard work and sacrifice over the years, but when we finally own our home and the value has increased we start getting abuse from younger people!

Is the state pension really so 'meagre'? Let's take a look... The basic state pension is just £12,547 a year. But... Only around 15% of pensioners rely on the state pension alone. The vast majority have other income from private pensions etc., which is exactly how our system is designed to work (and why the UK has generous tax breaks for pension contributions). The small proportion of pensioners whose only source of income is the state pension are entitled to other benefits in addition, including pension credit, housing benefit and council tax support. A pensioner with no other income, no savings, no disabilities, no care responsibilities and rent of £800 per month is entitled to £401.55 a week in benefits including state pension, which is £20,881 a year. For comparison, a full time minimum wage worker has an after tax income of £21,364. Unlike a pensioner, a full time minimum wage worker is not entitled to free travel, free prescriptions, a winter fuel payment or senior citizens discounts. £21,000 a year is not a lot of money. But the very poorest pensioners have similar incomes to low-wage workers. Given the greater costs faced by those who are working, it's perhaps not surprising that working age adults are now more likely to live in poverty than pensioners. And at the other end of the scale, one in four pensioners are millionaires and still receive the basic state pension, paid for by current tax payers (including those on minimum wage). No one (definitely not me) is suggesting that the state pension should be reduced for the poorest pensioners. But pension spending now accounts for half of the UK's social security budget and, given the urgent need to cut government spending, we must consider reforms like means-testing and scrapping the triple lock.

@EMAY4K We lease our car at £300/month. That’s more than enough. 4 year deal and 12 month deposit. So about £18k over the lease period. That’s about equal to the depreciation I reckon. Last one we lease tho (that’s what we’ve always done) retiring in 4 years so will buy used!

Some of the monthly figures I see people paying for financed cars actually mind boggling to me, £400/500 a month on some base spec, mercs/bmws etc before insurance, maintenance and fuel. my head would be on Mars man

@MarkDyche2 @sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales You can ask as many stupid questions as you want, no-one’s trying to stop you.

😢 A tearful Noa-Lynn Van Leuven has announced her "retirement" after revealing a DRA ruling banning transgender players from women's darts events. "I just got an email, apparently I just got retired. Not by choice but because I am longer allowed to compete, the DRA decided that trans women are no longer allowed in women's events." "With just one decision, I am being told I don't belong anymore. This isn't just about me, it's another huge hit for the trans community." #Darts | Via Noa-Lynn Van Leuven Instagram

@asianmomriot @Helen_Barnard So it’s not just my job to pull them out of poverty, feed them at breakfast time now I gotta give them a day out that most who would have to pay full price can’t afford!!! Nah gotta draw a line in the sand somewhere!

@Helen_Barnard 100% with you - I saw the first dribbles of this post this morning and then all the rage baiters were out in full force peddling the same "hard working families put out" BS 🙄 Jeez can't we be happy that we live in a society that wants to ensure kids get a day out?

5 in 6 people on Universal Credit can’t afford essentials because incomes are so low. Many face hunger. Any day out is far out of reach. Even the costs below, and the bus fare to get there will be too much for many. But all families should have an occasional day out together.

@Mrs_I_Burns @sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales When did I say he shouldn’t?

@MarkDyche2 @sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales Probably doesn’t in darts but it’s a female event so he doesn’t qualify to play. He can play in the male event so he can participate.

@john_ford77 @sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales I don’t get to ask questions cos John says so ?

@MarkDyche2 @sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales You don’t need to understand the mechanism, you can just look at the data and see that they clearly do have an advantage.

@BooFreshy @sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales Thank you for a straight answer!

@MarkDyche2 @sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales "Men are generally stronger in sports than women due to biological differences, such as higher levels of testosterone, greater muscle mass, and differences in body composition. These factors contribute to men's advantages in strength, speed, and power in athletic performance."

@justjdthanks @sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales Who said it didn’t?

@MarkDyche2 @sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales Principle trumps 'advantage' in every 'particular' sport and every other situation you can think of ✌

@Annie_Y_Mouse @sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales That’s not answering the post. A simple I don’t know would have sufficed!

@MarkDyche2 @sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales Doesn't matter. It's the WOMEN'S division and he's already spoken 6 prizes.

@jenjen3186 @sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales Missing the point! If you’re a bloke why would playing darts in a woman’s competition make you more competitive! Try not to be so patronising!

@MarkDyche2 @sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales There are women's teams and there are men's teams. Women no longer have to include men in everything and are allowed to have our own teams. No further reasons are required.

@Bernp1953P @Jenny_1884 No guarantee of what. Companies used literally spaff pension funds up the wall. You have more control over your pension than ever before. The only risk you have is sequencing risk and that can be mitigated against.

@Jenny_1884 You’re a bit out of touch. Most people today contribute to a defined contribution scheme with no guarantee at all.

Back in the day Work Pensions weren’t much of a thing & that’s why pensioners of today rely on a State Pension. Going forward for the next generation they won’t need to rely so much on the State Pension because the majority now have a Work Pension.

@sharrond62 @Tungsten_Tales Whilst I completely agree how does being a man give you an advantage in this particular sport? I’m genuinely baffled by this one. 🤣

@Tungsten_Tales Good no males in sports for females. It’s cheating. Doesn’t have to retire just needs to play other males, but won’t win there, as we all know!

@albieamankona When I contracted out part of my NI contributions were paid into a private pension pot!

Nobody has a “RIGHT” to a state pension. It is a benefit paid for by the tax payers at the time you receive the benefit and it is subject to the same checks, balances and affordability criteria as every other benefit provided by the state. Whoever told you national insurance was invested in a personal pension pot for you, lied. It’s a tax, like income tax, VAT et al.

@GBNEWS Without disrespecting darts does this make any difference? If ever there was a sport that you gender doesn’t matter surely darts is high up the list? Happy to be corrected!

Darts bans transgender players in Women's only events in latest victory for female sports gbnews.com/sport/darts/da…

@AndrewP500 @simonwatt85 I think if that’s your only income. When a small private pension would push you into tax return territory!

@simonwatt85 Not under labour government, the said the state pension would be omitted from income tax, although still counting towards your personal allowance

Assuming the they don't increase the personal allowance. The next time the triple lock kicks in pensioners will be paying tax on pensions. Imagine that, people who have never done so in their lives having to fill out tax forms. What a fiscal drag that will be.

@edwinhayward Paying a transfer incorrectly is quite unlikely as the sort code, name and account number all need to tally up. If not it won’t go through. Transferring to a scam is another matter

If you have to send a huge bank transfer, eg for a house purchase, why not send one or two tiny random payments first? By making two different tiny payments and asking the recipient to confirm both exact amounts, you know for a fact you have entered their bank details correctly.
