Morning Aangus i won £10,000 in the Oct 22 draw...its not as straightforward as you think..you can see online youve won it if you have an online account ...then you ring them ..well i did ...they then send you a letter that has to be witnessed to verify you and then they are very stringent and check that you only have the max £50k allowed ..takes about 2 weeks if i remember correctly and will only pay in to the bank account you supplied and had verified in your online account ...hope you win again aangus gl

MV arawa...indeed i saw another labour MP squirming today about recieving £350 per month heating allowance while threshold pensioners are in real trouble ...he was on £91000 a year plus extra ministerial wages...its a scandal imo..gl

"Local councils have told the government its flagship plan to build 1.5m new homes in England over the next five years is “unrealistic” and “impossible to achieve”, the BBC can reveal.

The vast majority of councils expressed concern about the plan in a consultation exercise carried out by Angela Rayner's housing department earlier this year."

...also by the way my chancellor of the exchequer is proven liar...........labour mp's that have been throwing stones for years now realise that being in government means they now live in the glass house.....gla

Reeves already hated for the Winter fuel payment debacle/scandal....maybe she should follow louise haigh ...anyway its possible starmer will throw her under the bus at some point.....gla

Resigned this morning gla

I agree to a lot said...obviously its all conjecture...the FY results on the 20th feb 25..will as always be interesting especially with the buyback situation regards how much etc etc etc....you could possibly say that without this car finance claim hanging around the sp would be 60-65p...i also think the uncertainty around labours confusing policies is having an effect on the SP gla

Mick b interesting you mention homes ..you probably think rayner is going to achieve her 1.5 new home target by 2029...I don't.. and will apologise if she does..I hope the "believers " apologise if she doesn't..gl.

Gate....no mention of Council tax,road tax ...although might not drive.....i think your liable for council tax even if your house has a tow bar on it......gl
