do you have to have another MOT dammeeee if it failed- you are so lucky having someone who knows cars - it costs a fortune
Mine isn't due until the end of February, Ros. Yes, I'm lucky Matt can do it, the drive shaft has to come out, so labour at a garage would have cost a fortune. I hope you only need two tyres, they are so expensive now

I wasn't surprised at all, don't expect things to get any better. Starmer, Reeves etc are Tories, it will get worse, now she's on about cutting social security... 4 weeks in, and they have gone back on nearly every pledge I didn't vote for the barstewards 
like this presenter but prefer the dour Kevin in a way but like both

tbh dammeee in their way they are looking after peeps who need it - at the lower end of the spectrum but it should be just the very rich who are penalised not a blanket one after pension credits

exactly, I don't mind the means tested bit, but some of those pensioners and minutely over the point where they can claim. Starmer is a tw$t placed there by Blair, Blair's think tank is advising them on policy, I wouldn't vote for them if I never voted again. Now Streeting is going to put far more of the Health Service into privatization.... it's more money for the rich, a poorer service for us and more paying for treatment.
