Stat of the day from @Quilter A single person needs a £691,000 pension pot for a comfortable lifestyle in retirement. Anyone happy to live modestly requires
£413,000. The message of this? Make use of the pension tax reliefs before the government seeks to remove more of them💷

@ArchRose90 He really wants Burnham to lose in Makerfield, doesn’t he!

@Nigel_Farage @Keir_Starmer Starmers denial of two tier policing is almost as though he really wants to lose Makerfield 🤣
English

It is clear to everyone but @Keir_Starmer that we are living under two-tier policing in Britain.
The anger millions of us feel comes from losing trust in our justice system to treat everyone equally under the law.
A Reform government would end two-tier policing.

@CPhilpOfficial So why only now are you speaking out? This is the problem with Tories vs proactive Reform
English

Yes, two-tier policing is real. It is hardcoded into policy documents, recruitment, and training.
Treating people differently based on ethnic identity is divisive, wrong, and leaves the public unprotected.
This broken system must be dismantled.

@kingkapoor72 asked ng someone "are you a bad man" means something must have happened before that, to provoke such an odd question
English

How it started 🚨
Nowak asked Digwa, "Are you a bad man?" while recording it.
Digwa replied, "Yes, I'm a bad man," and snatched his phone.
On Nowak's request to hand the phone back, he refused, and a scuffle started which led to stabbing by Vikrum Digwa.
Later that phone was found in Vikrum's possession after arrest. Vikrum was a thief and killer.

@NiohBerg @HantsPolice only one person misled them, whose account they chose to believe.

Just to put things in perspective.
The average state pension in Spain is higher than in the UK.
The cost of living in Spain is 33% lower than in the UK.
Spain's equivalent to our council tax is about a tenth of what we pay in the UK. And they get daily bin collections.
Where's our money going?

@LeeHarris Heartbreaking to watch those callous police officers abhorrent negligence

Warren Buffett: "The bottom 2% in terms of income in the United States, the bottom 5%, and for sure the top 1% all live better than John D. Rockefeller was living when I was six years old."
"John D. Rockefeller was the richest man in the world and, today, you can get better medicine, better education, better entertainment, better transportation. You can do everything better than he could."

@UK_InvestingLTD @QuietWealth_UK First time buyers don’t have moving costs, but spend out significantly to furnish.
English

First time buyers usually don’t pay stamp duty and usually don’t have removal costs at it is their first house so usually a couple of trips in a car will empty your bedroom of it’s belongings.
Mortgage arrangement fee is paid by the bank to your broker
You have a fixtures and fittings sheet that you review and agree to so they would be aware that radiators are being removed if they actually read the documents
First time buyers added costs amount to about 1% of the sale, mostly solicitors fees.
English

Nobody tells first time buyers what buying a home actually costs.
The price on Rightmove is just the start.
Solicitor fees: £1,500-£3,000
Survey: £500-£1,500
Stamp duty: up to £5,000 for a £250k property
Mortgage arrangement fee: £1,000+
Removals: £500-£1,500
Buildings insurance: required from exchange
And this week someone on Reddit discovered their seller was taking the radiators.
£1,000 to replace them. Not in any brochure.
Budget 3-5% on top of your purchase price for buying costs alone.
Nobody tells you this, now you know.
