🚨Your pension is about to be raided and HMRC just confirmed how.... From April 2027, pension schemes will be allowed to withhold up to half of your retirement savings to cover inheritance tax. They can hold onto that money for up to 15 months while they work out what is owed Pensions used to sit outside inheritance tax entirely. From April 2027 they get hit with the standard 40% rate like everything else So your family loses up to 40% of what you spent a lifetime saving. The pension company sits on the other half for over a year before anyone sees a penny. Funeral costs, mortgage payments, school fees, none of it can be covered while the money is locked up The policy was announced by Rachel Reeves in the 2024 Budget. The operational detail confirming the 50% withholding rule was quietly published by HMRC this week, with final guidance not due until spring 2027, weeks before the deadline 10,500 estates will be dragged into inheritance tax for the first time. Another 38,500 will pay more. Average extra bill, £34,000 And this is how these things always work. The threshold starts high, the public is told it only affects the wealthy, and the numbers stay frozen while everything else rises The inheritance tax threshold has been stuck at £325,000 since 2009. House prices have nearly doubled in that time Every year, more ordinary families get pulled in without a single rule changing The government calls this closing a loophole. What it actually does is treat your pension like another revenue stream for the Treasury. Money you saved out of taxed income gets taxed again on the way out If you have a pension, this affects you. Check what your scheme is planning before April 2027 arrives Follow me to stay informed

🚨 WE ARE STUCK , AND WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP 🚨 Right now, we cannot move any further forward with our new kennel project without your support. 💔 We have a brand new kennel block waiting to be delivered and installed, which means more dogs can finally come into safety and receive the help they desperately need. We completely understand that times are incredibly hard for everyone and donating isn’t always easy right now. But we are asking, from the bottom of our hearts, if you could spare even just £1, it truly would make a huge difference. 🙏 So far we have:
✅ Bought the rebar and groundwork materials
✅ Installed the drainage
✅ Prepared the site ready for concrete But now we’ve hit a wall… The cost of materials has risen massively and we urgently need funding for:
🔸 Two swivel dumpers
🔸 Concrete for the base Once the concrete is down, we can finally bring the company in to install the kennel block and open our doors to so many more dogs crying out for help. Every share, every donation, every bit of support matters more than you know. Please help us keep going.
Please help us build a safe place for dogs with nowhere else to turn. ❤️ 🐾 £1 can help change a life
🐾 Sharing this post could reach someone who can help Thank you for standing with us always. peoplesfundraising.com/fundr… #DogsOnTheStreets #DogRescue #HelpUsHelpThem #KennelFundraiser #SupportRescueDogs #Donate #DogCharity #EveryPoundCounts

🚨AMAZON DRIVER RUNS OVER FAMILY DOG AND LEAVES HER TO DIE On April 21st at 4:56PM, an Amazon delivery driver in Benson, NC ignored clear instructions, entered a private driveway, and ran over Sadie, a beloved dog owned by Marshall and Valerie Chavis. The driver did not stop, did not check on her, and did not notify the family. Within minutes, Sadie was rushed to the vet with catastrophic injuries, including severe brain trauma and fractures to her C1 and C2 vertebrae. She is alive, but barely, and now fighting for her life. In Valerie’s words: “Immediately upon impact Sadie ran to the front porch as a dog does when they have been hit. She was urinating uncontrollably, trying to stand and repeatedly falling over, her left eye bulging out of her head, both of her eyes bouncing back and forth rapidly, both pupils dilated, and visible bruising and abrasions on the left side of her body from impact. I immediately knew her injuries were severe.” The Chavis family had done everything right. A clearly marked package drop box at the road. Posted signage. No Trespassing notices. Explicit delivery instructions. Carriers like FedEx and UPS follow these directions without issue. Amazon drivers have repeatedly ignored them. Now, instead of taking responsibility, Amazon is refusing to step up. The company is demanding the family pay thousands of dollars out of pocket for emergency, life saving care, with only the possibility of partial reimbursement later. This is negligence. This is unacceptable. And it cannot be ignored. AMAZON NEEDS TO #SaveSadie. Share this and demand that Amazon take responsibility and change its practices before another family suffers the same devastation. @amazon

This guy takes his four dogs out for a run, but not the way you’re thinking… he jumps on his four-wheeler and lets his dogs run full-speed. All these dogs are living their best life, but Sarabi (a 2-year-old greyhound speed demon) is out there absolutely flying with that incredible agility and pure joy you can feel through the screen. Did you happen to see his speedometer? He had to drive 80 mph just to catch up to the greyhound! 🐕💨

So @marksandspencer won't honour my elderly dad's expired gift card - even though they don't put an expiry date on the card 🙄 and their gift card query phone line cost us £1 a minute 🙄🙄. Customer service petty and unhelpful. So won't ever shop there again.
