The NHS have earmarked 73 million pounds in contract money to provide translation services for those who cannot read or speak English. Initially I thought this would include BSL speakers, but reading the scope it doesnt https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/improvement-framework-community-language-translation-and-interpreting-services/ -

The Chancellor did not mislead the public or markets when she warned of difficult decisions needed to fill a black hole in the public finances, Downing Street has said. There were warnings ahead of the Budget that Rachel Reeves could face as much as a £20 billion gap in meeting her self-imposed fiscal rule of not borrowing for day-to-day spending. But a letter from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) published on Friday revealed it told the Chancellor as early as September 17 that prevailing economic winds meant the gap would be much smaller. It later informed her in October the spending gap had closed altogether. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said the letter showed Ms Reeves had “lied to the public” and should be sacked. The Budget on Wednesday followed weeks of warnings from Ms Reeves that she would need to make “hard choices”, including a period of time in which it seemed likely she would hike the headline rates of income tax to meet her tax and spending commitments. The watchdog’s final forecast on October 31 then suggested that it had been eliminated altogether and that there was now a £4.2 billion net positive above the Chancellor’s day-to-day spending plans. -

Dear UK, I hope this finds you well. My Dad had a very simple rule. He loved everyone he met, but his family and home came first. If anything threatened that, he became a lion. I see this happening in the UK. People are struggling.The NHS is failing. Cost of living soaring.Housing and social care capacity is full. People, young and old, of all backgrounds, are concerned. Polls show a gov that isn't giving confidence.The migrant crisis is huge. The switch has to be made from calling everyone racist, from left and right battles, to undersranding that these are people who see their home,the UK, under more and more pressure, and are speaking out. Please recover soon, UK and become great again -

The Guinness World Records honours titles from the world's longest tongue to the most extensive collection of Spice Girls memorabilia, while the likes of Taylor Swift and even Sky News are also honoured. Guinness World Records (GWR) is celebrating its 70th anniversary by highlighting unclaimed titles you might fancy going for... • The most whoopee cushions sat on in one minute; • The fastest time to blow a stamp 10 metres; • The furthest distance bottle flip; The most high-fives in 30 seconds; • The fastest 400-metre sack race; • And the fastest time to ascend the height of Everest by bicycle. -

Ive been flicking through tiktok and reading comments on various different posts. Whether its someone showing their day to day life, someone making crafts on live, someone sharing things they've done, there is one theme all the way through.People judge everyone and think they have the right to tell them to do things different/ change something. I watched this lady making cups earlier and the comments were like"add more black", "do it this way" " you are doing it wronf" Just let people live and do their own thing if they aren't hurting anyone. People seem to think its OK to criticise -

"BRITAIN’S Chagos Islands handover will cost taxpayers ten times more than Sir Keir Starmer let on, newly unearthed figures claim. Official estimates reveal the bill for giving the British Indian Ocean Territory to Mauritius is not £3.4billion as promised, but actually close to £35billion." I'm sick of hearing how we have no money for old people, the nhs, police etc when money like this is spent. £35 Billion could go a long way fixing this country. All politicians are useless -

Sitting in the pharmacy waiting for anti viral meds after another shingle flare up..I'm amazed at how many people 1) have their repeats not sent through from the gp correctly and have to sort out getting vital meds 2) turn up with a repeat and expect it to be filled by the morning even though the sign says 48 hours. These pharmacists are getting serious stick for things that aren't their cock up! -

Dear Dawn, I am delighted that today, the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) has voted to drop its longstanding opposition to assisted dying. This is a pivotal moment as UK medical bodies prepare for a change in the law. Thanks to your unwavering support over the years, we’ve reached this incredible milestone: no medical royal college in the UK opposes assisted dying. Progress like this has brought us to the brink of law change. -

Are any of you on tiktok? There's a trend going around with people posting videos of the tea time alarm in the UK, some pretending they've been fined for missing it etc.(The team time alarm is explained as a siren that goes off signalling everyone in uk must have a cuppa!) The funniest thing is that so many people abroad are taking it seriously 🤣 😂 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdenkovS/ -

I just wanted to say something without answering the PMs I get. Thank you, but I really don't want or need people to send me screenshots of instances where people I've chosen to block are taking a pop at me/ talking about me/being sarky about posts I make. I've blocked them for a reason, the reason being I haven't got time for their nastiness or bitchyness.It therefore doesn't matter to me that they continue to spout crap about me. I will not be replying or responding to any PMs .Thank you and happy Saturday 🫠
