I hope you had a good day. And if you didn’t, I hope tomorrow will be better.

Southern Water bans tankers doing runs to US billionaire's lake Tankers taking water for US billionaire Stephen Schwarzman have been told to stop by Southern Water.

And yet some will blame our problems on the immigrants who arrive in small boats. It’s the billionaires taking our resources, not the poor who are fleeing poverty, violence and persecution.

Council debt 2025: Scale of local authority deficits revealed Hundreds of council-owned buildings being sold as local authorities seek to reduce debts of £122bn.

This is so dangerous. Councils and government are selling off OUR finite assets and resources to fund services. It’s unsustainable.

Pretty sure Nigel Pargetter referred to his mother as ‘Mummy’ as an adult! But I doubt Rowzee would want to call Stella ‘Mum’ anyway. It’s not as if Stella even lives with them. Or that Stella even actually likes Rowzee. Stella needs to knock this nonsense on the head right away

Stella, if Rowzeee wants to call you ‘Mum’, then demand equal parenting rights. Limit her snacks, punish her for swearing at classmates, send her to bed by 8pm… She’ll soon change her tune.

If You Work So Hard, Why Aren't You Rich? YouTube video by Damien Talks Money

Ignore the awful AI thumbnail, this is a really good discussion about work, money, and the fact that #Grind culture is a scam. More #PersonalFinance YouTubers need to talk about this.

Has anyone made a t-shirt with ‘Tree hugging beaver lover’ on it yet? I’d like to buy one.

US firm that tests eligibility for UK disability benefits pays out £10m in dividends Maximus, which provides assessments for DWP, reports a 23% rise in pre-tax profit in financial year to September

#Privatisation and #Outsourcing by the government is inefficient and costly in the long term because so much money goes to the shareholders. #Tax should fund services, not shareholder dividends. #TaxTheRich

A few years back Alice got a great job offer in Canada but Chris didn’t want to go. I understand both views, but agree that Alice’s life has been restricted by marriage. She also didn’t want children as early as she did. She may like the life she has, but it wasn’t the life she wanted.

I think so, something like that. I don’t think Clarrie is the type to just go to the EV charging station for a look around. Especially as Eddie had to drop her off. She seemed awkward with Fallon and Joy too so I think she’s working there but knows it’s in competition with local businesses.

I think Clarrie has got a job at the new shop at the EV charging station and she knows it’s a rival to the village shop, where Susan works. So I guess she feels awkward. Not that Susan seemed to notice.

Worst: Probably Adam. Listening to him sighing and complaining? Boring….
Best: Fallon. I bet she knows some filthy jokes.

Dane has very strong “Aw c’mon mate, it’s just a bit of banter!’ energy. I hate him already.

Kate has inherited the bulk of it hasn’t she?… Delicious.

Why We Need A Wealth Tax YouTube video by Byline TV

Our Head of Advocacy, Caitlin, sat down with BylineTV to make the case for why wealth should be taxed more.

Where wealth is increasingly hoarded by a small number of people, it makes sense to ask the super-rich to pay a little more, to benefit everyone.

Woman accused of illegal abortion cleared by jury Nicola Packer took abortion medicine at home when she was about 26 weeks pregnant, her trial heard.

Ummm. Pardon?

Yes, but Anna Tregorran was a barrister specialising in domestic abuse so was more the focus of who was defending Helen in court. I think in the scenes where Helen was questioned by police she had a duty solicitor.

Usha is a solicitor, not a barrister, so wouldn’t be involved in a criminal trial. She was also Rob and Helen’s landlady at the time of Helen stabbing Rob so was too personally involved

Good point. I can’t imagine Lizzie paying a ransom to liberate Mince.
