Twice in the last week hackers have tried – both times immitating government departments. Firstly DWP said I needed to register by last Wednesday to ensure I could receive a winter fuel payment of £300 – then an email from DVLA stating that my monthly payment for car tax was refused and asking me to send upto date info. Baastaards all. They did not quote my reg number so def a scam. I guess I was identified via the Co-op hack? £2.3 billion have been scammed in the uk in 2024. Time to employ some of the computer gamers ?
£27 billion cost to NHS of poor maternity care in legal claims. And Jermey Hunt, former Health Secretary has the gaul to blame the current government. Labour now needs to drain the swamp and inject whatever money is needed and raise a specific tax to pay for it. It is irrelevant how much they are spending at present – any failure is one two many.
Good news for the BBC – ‘Bluey’ helped the income from commercial sales to top £2.2 billion. Now it is up to Labour to appoint a new board to be independent. The same goes for the water industry. Making cosmetic changes will not do. Announcement today by Government is likely to be walls and mirrors. 13 years of Tory rule allowed the gross negiligence by OFWAT in allowing the pollution of our water.
