I haven't played wordle in ages however, that was my go to first word a lot of the times.

I never watch Question time now, however I like this picture. I love when they bring someone on to try and dog-pile them and then end's up with i'm not stuck in here with yous, yous are stuck in here with me.

'No I would not protect you, in fact I would encourage them to do whatever they want. You gotta pay.'"

It's cause they don't actually believe in anything or have an over-arching vision. They just want to "win" and then do hundreds of simulations on voting outcomes against different policies.

On the pension thing it really depends on what the percentage increase is going forward and how the personal allowance. Worse case scenario, i.e. personal allowance doesn't increase and we take the highest possible percentage increase. Assuming tax rates are the same. Rough estimates. They pay £3 a week in tax in 2026. If we take the mean of increases then we're into the 2030's before we reach that threshold. If the personal allowance threshold changes then that pushes everything further into the future.
