I mean ‘donor’ implies freebie regardless, does it not? That’s what donating is…

Are you quite sure Labour hasn’t accepted freebies from its donors? You might want to double check that.

This was my favourite sign. Am I allowed to have a favourite sign?

👀Do you remember this sign on the M6 near Keele services?👇 😲Age had got the better of it so to ensure safety, it was removed, destined for the scrapheap. 🚌Thankfully it's now been saved and has been donated to Aldridge Transport Museum! 👉Read more: ow.ly/y7Aa50TryM6

@MartinSLewis Why can’t the govt tell whether someone is entitled from the information they already have? Then they could just pay them automatically…

Part of the problem with winter fuel payments is the chronic underclaiming of Pension Credit, a key benefit that now triggers entitlement. It's thought 880,000 due it won't get it, and they're the poorest pensioners.
I doubt the awareness raising campaign can have much impact on that (I and others have been shouting about it until we're blue in the face, for years)
It needs proactive one on one contacting of likely candidates, eg those not getting full state pensions.
Yet even that is hard because there are so many scams targeting elderly how do you ensure people trust that it is legit?
I'd be interested in your ideas on how to reach the hard to reach pensioners who may be eligible.

@PositiveLad I’m sure you didn’t, but if you stop at the services, then when you get back on the road you start to overtake all the cars you overtook a while ago and it’s a weird deja vu moment indeed. Only works if there’s something unusual like your situation!
