Jacob Rees-Mogg has hundreds of millions in Tax Havens on which he pays no tax. But he has 6 children going to Private Schools, the VAT will be some of the only tax that he pays. There are many, many people like this, particularly at the most expensive schools.

The state pension increased by around £900 this year, and I am expecting the 2025 increase (over £400) to be announced tomorrow. A link to apply for Pension Credit is below - the Tories left office with 800,000 pensioners failing to claim it. You can start your application up

They voted against the English measures. The SNP government in Holyrood has already ended this payment with no debate or vote despite the current budget having an allocation for it. Sheer hypocrisy.
