My sort of story: "Hampshire villagers bring street’s apostrophe catastrophe to a full stop". But what if the name refers to more than one St Mary...? theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/n…

They slipped this one through... as @Stephenctimms says here, the only obvious reason to require that information is to consider means testing the State Pension...

Pretty damned chuffed to get a mention in here. Thank you!

Ahead of next week's General Election, great to see #HousingAgeingAlliance's chair Mario Ambrosi's letter in yesterday's Financial Times highlighting #OlderPeoplesHousing & the #HAA manifesto, a coproduced 15point call for action housinglin.org.uk/Topics/type/HA…

What will the election result mean for older people? We look at how the media are covering the issues in today's packed Later Life AGEnda, plus my thoughts on why imagination and collaboration will be needed because there really is no money this time. mailchi.mp/theageactional…
