    From April 2026, the government is removing an average £150 of costs from household energy bills. It will happen automatically and you do not need to take any action.

    Find out about help you can get with essential costs. This includes food, energy and water bills.

    Cheaper phone and broadband (‘social tariffs’)
    If you’re getting certain benefits find out if you can get cheaper phone and broadband on the Ofcom website.

    Help paying your water bill
    Find out how to reduce your water bill and support you may be able to get to pay for it on the CCW website.

    If you’re on a low income or certain benefits you can check if you’re eligible to reduce your Council Tax.

    If you need support with rent or housing costs you can check if you’re eligible for help from the Crisis and Resilience Fund from your local council.

    If you’re eligible for Universal Credit you can get help paying for housing (for example, rent and mortgage interest). Find out more about housing costs and Universal Credit.

    If you’re in supported, sheltered or temporary housing you can check if you’re eligible for Housing Benefit for help to pay your rent.

        On Friday, April 17th, Amazon removed the book from sale in the United States. This caused the Streisand Effect, with a massive boost in sales on Ebay. On Tuesday, April 21st, Amazon lifted the ban. Within a few hours, the book was topping the sales charts in several categories. For a brief moment, Raspail even outstripped Hugo and Zola, Balzac and Proust, in the French literature category.

    All good things must come to an end…

    After 52 years the BBC has announced it is to axe Football Focus, the Saturday lunchtime soccer show that highlighted the top-tier matches being played later that afternoon. Sad.

    They’ve had some brilliant presenters in the past; Bob Wilson ( my favourite) Steve Rider, Ray Stubbs and Dan Walker. Some of the pundits have also been worth listening to. You know, MEN who have actually played the game.

    However, just lately, following the Beeb’s endless journey towards further diversity, mixed race lesbian Alex Scott has been presenting the show. Apparently, viewing figures are now so low there are more people working in the studio than actually watching the show at home.

    I wonder what went wrong?

    I just can’t put my finger on it…
