He was name-checked by Jeremy Hunt in his Budget statement on Wednesday, and Martin Lewis went on to provide an instant response to it after the Chancellor sat down.
Here it is:
For me – and for Mr Lewis, it seems – the interesting aspect was one that Hunt didn’t mention in his speech. MoneySavingExpert.com discusses it as follows:
The maximum annual tax-free amount you can save into a pension once you’ve taken money out of it will rise from £4,000 to £10,000 from 6 April. Meanwhile, the amount you can save into your pension tax-free each year is also set to rise, as is the amount you can save into pensions over a lifetime.
You can find out more about that in the MoneySavingExpert article.

Conflict of interest: why would companies that helped run the government’s publicity campaign about Covid-19 ever want to contact people who lost loved ones because of failures in that campaign?
People who lost loved ones while the Covid-19 pandemic raged through the UK are being put off contributing to the inquiry into what happened – because a PR firm that was hired to manage the government’s response to the crisis has been hired to help run it.
23Red, which worked on government messaging including hand hygiene advice and the “Stay at home” slogan, has been sub-contracted by the Tories’ favourite advertising firm, M&C Saatchi, to run part of the Covid inquiry’s “listening exercise”.
Apparently its role will be to “help the inquiry reach those most affected by the pandemic, so that they can share their experiences”.
The Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice group has pointed out the flaw in that argument: because 23Red worked for the government in its efforts to control Covid-19, the group says, it will either screen out people with the most harmful stories to tell, or those who were most affected will be put off participating.
23Red were working with the Cabinet Office throughout the pandemic and their conflict of interest is obvious.
They shouldn’t be anywhere near the Covid Inquiry, never mind being responsible for how it reaches those worst affected. https://t.co/OY0aYcyENW
— Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK (@CovidJusticeUK) February 17, 2023
In the Guardian report (link above), group spokesperson Susie Flintham is quoted as saying:
The fact is ‘many of those worst affected’ will question 23red’s motivations and integrity, and won’t feel comfortable engaging with a process they’re involved in.
“The fact that these PR companies have rebranded the listening exercise ‘every story matters’, suggests they don’t have a clue on how to reach those ‘most affected’.”
“Why is the inquiry paying a hefty sum of taxpayers money, during a cost of living crisis, to a company whose involvement will put people off participating in it? It feels self defeating and like a clear waste of resources.
“If the inquiry is serious about listening to those worst affected by the pandemic then it must give them a meaningful voice, which at the very least means allowing them to speak at each day of the hearings.”
The group’s concerns were raised at the inquiry by their counsel, Pete Weatherby KC, after reporting on the matter by the website Open Democracy:
The correct response to these concerns is to remove the companies from any involvement in the inquiry.
That has not happened.
Instead, the team carrying out the inquiry has said that no conflict of interest will arise because “M&C Saatchi and 23red do not have a decision making role with the inquiry, and they have no direct access to the inquiry’s legal team or the wider work of the inquiry.
“Additionally, M&C Saatchi and 23red will not be carrying out any of the listening or have any access to the experiences shared with the inquiry’s listening exercise. Their role is only to help the inquiry reach those most affected by the pandemic, so that they can share their experiences.”
I’m not convinced. You should not be convinced either.
In an inquiry that exists to collect the strongest evidence of the worst effects of the government’s response (or lack of it) to the Covid-19 pandemic, efforts to seek out the most important stories are paramount.
Yet the inquiry team has hired companies that were intimately linked with the government’s public relations campaign during that time – Boris Johnson’s efforts to play down the seriousness of the situation and to pretend that Tory policies were succeeding when they weren’t.
More than 200,000 people have died of Covid-19 – and most of those deaths could have been avoided if Johnson, Matt Hancock and their cronies had acted more quickly and in a more responsible way (rather than diverting vast amounts of money to hastily-set-up companies run by their friends, for equipment that did not work, for example).
And the number of deaths is still increasing, as I understand it.
It is not in the interests of these companies to seek out the most damning stories of government failures when they were responsible for even part of the government’s publicity campaigning.
I fear the Covid-19 inquiry is just another Tory sham.

Delete, delete… too late: Boris Johnson’s messages to a 10 Downing Street WhatsApp group are being demanded by the Inquiry into Covid-19.
Let’s hope the Covid inquiry has more luck than Lord Geidt; he only found out that Boris Johnson had lied to him about the infamous Downing Street refurbishment after WhatsApp messages Johnson had kept from him became public knowledge.
Johnson claimed he had changed his phone altogether in order to avoid responsibility for failing to pass on WhatsApp messages about the refurbishment of his Downing Street flat.
Unluckily for him, messages sent using services such as WhatsApp are stored on a cloud server – not the recipient’s device(s) – and may be recovered by the authorities under circumstances including a legal investigation.
And who can forget the time Johnson, as ultimate arbiter of whether anybody has broken the Ministerial Code, used WhatsApp to urge Tory MPs to “form a square around the Prittster” when Priti Patel was accused of bullying civil servants?
On the other hand, will we finally receive confirmation that, in March 2020, Johnson wrote a WhatsApp message saying then-Health Secretary Matt Hancock was “totally f***ing hopeless”?
Will we finally find out whether Johnson inadvertently threatened the life of the then-Queen (Elizabeth II) by trying to visit her at the height of the Covid-19 crisis?
He had already mentioned on WhatsApp that he was unwilling to go back into lockdown in autumn 2020 because he considered Covid-19 only to be fatal to people aged over 80 – who have therefore lived longer than national life expectancy.
“So get COVID and live longer,” was the typically-insensitive Johnson remark.
This did not deter him from wanting to go and see the Queen for their weekly meeting, until he was reminded that she was over 80 and therefore entirely likely to die if he passed the disease on to her.
Will we see the actual messages – rather than Dominic Cummings’s screenshots – that show Johnson used WhatsApp to make decisions on the procurement of ventilators and on Covid-19 testing in care homes?
Or will Johnson have already used auto-delete software to remove evidence of the decision-making carried out on WhatsApp, after judges at the High Court said it was not illegal to do so?
I refer of course to the Covid-19 Inquiry’s request for posts to a 10 Downing Street WhatsApp group to be submitted to it as formal evidence.
Module 2 of the Inquiry will examine political decision-making in Westminster during the pandemic.
Given Johnson’s apparent reluctance to provide the damning details, it’s probably just as well that a further preliminary hearing for the module will take place in early 2023, with public hearings starting in the summer.
Perhaps by then, the required WhatsApp messages will have been provided…
Or maybe the Inquiry will have raided the cloud on which they’re stored.

Rishi Sunak: yes, it’s this shot yet again. Still, he’s prime minister now. I’ll probably get some new ones in. Hopefully they’ll make him look just as daft.
The UK now has a prime minister whose value, taken in tandem with his wife’s, is greater than that of the King. What is he going to know about tackling the cost-of-living crisis?
Not a lot. At least, that’s the fear going around the social media right now. And who can blame people?
The information on which they’re relying is accurate – and incidentally makes a nonsense of any claim that we should applaud the elevation of a non-white Hindu to the highest office in the land.
See for yourself:
Rishi Sunak fined by the police this year, boasted of having no working class friends & switching funding from deprived areas to the rich, is now set to be the UK’s first billionaire PM.
Rishi Sunak is proof to all little South Asian kids that if your parents send you to £46k pa Winchester College you become a banker and profit millions from financial crash that led to 300k dying from austerity and throw other POC under the bus you too can be PM. Inspirational 🥺
Let me get this right. The near-billionaire ex-Goldman Sachs analyst son-in-law of a billionaire that was part of a hedge fund group that launched with $700m and who is easily the richest member of the House of Commons is going to help us through the cost of living crisis?
Politics aside, one has to acknowledge that Sunak sends a powerful message to people of colour – if you go to public school, amass a fortune, become the richest MP in parliament and with your wife have a joint asset worth larger than the King’s, you too can become prime minister.
Tories will have a brief sigh of relief but a) the cost of living crisis is real b) the Tories’ mismanagement means a £30-40bn hole in public finances c) a very wealthy man with no common touch imposing austerity on ordinary families will soon jar horribly
Last year Sunak gave Richmondshire – which lies entirely within his own constituency – preferred access to a £4.8b levelling up fund by listing it as a category 1 area, despite it being one of the least deprived areas in England (251 out of 317 on govt's own index of deprivation)
In just thirty seconds, this construction worker from Wakefield provided analysis of Rishi Sunak’s coronation that was more incisive and even-handed than anything the BBC has ever produced in its entire history.

Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves laid into the new Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt and his new austerity programme that will not help the UK in any way at all.
But this was just part of her attack; the main thrust was what should have been a sideswipe, in which she laid bare the fact of Liz Truss’s premiership – she is a prime minister who is in office, but not in power.
See for yourself. This Writer doesn’t like Reeves at all – but you can’t deny her words here:

The assistant general secretary of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) discusses the state of Luton – and the UK – under the Conservative government – and the ineffectiveness of the Tory response to the cost-of-living crisis.
This Writer agrees strongly with his opinion that, when times are hard, the leaders create scapegoats out of “people who don’t look like us”. Don’t let that happen, folks; it’s a trick.

Cressida Dick: This Writer is cursing the fact that this image isn’t a post-arrest mugshot.
We should be furious about this. It is an invitation to allow the corruption to continue until all the UK’s police forces are poisoned.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick has insulted the nation with her response to the findings of the Daniel Morgan inquiry.
She said it was a “matter of great regret that no one has been brought to justice” – but failed to say anything about the fact that she shares responsibility for that failure.
Dick started her statement by saying she wanted to acknowledge the “resilience” and “determination” of the Morgan family, but that’s not what they wanted; they wanted her to acknowledge the failings the inquiry discovered – including those in her own behaviour.
Then how about this for cheek:
“I have been personally determined that the Met provided the Panel with the fullest level of co-operation in an open and transparent manner, with complete integrity at all times.”
As far as I can tell, that is a direct lie – Dick herself was singled out for criticism in the inquiry report for obstructing the investigation by denying the inquiry panel access to vital information.
So: no co-operation; no openness; no transparency – and absolutely no integrity at all.
Referring to the report, she stated: “We will take the necessary time to consider it and the associated recommendations in their entirety.”
I can only conclude that she will take as much time as it takes to find a way of dismissing the report’s accusations of “institutional corruption”, to avoid bringing in any of the changes the inquiry panel demanded, and to deflect the criticisms that related directly to her.
In other words, This Writer is willing to bet that, having been found to have betrayed her duty to the public in order to protect the Met’s reputation, Dick will again betray her duty to the public in order to protect the Met’s – and her own – reputation.
It should also be noted that Assistant Commissioner Nick Ephgrave’s comment that he does not accept that the Met is “institutionally corrupt” – as the inquiry found – is cause for deep concern.
He was saying that he will attempt to obstruct plans to root out the corruption that the inquiry found.
I said it in a previous article and I’ll say it again here:
If Priti Patel could be trusted to do her job properly, she would have already demanded the suspension of Dick and every other police officer involved in this 34-years-long corrupt cover-up – all of them.
She would then invite law enforcement officers from a completely different place – possibly even from a different country, because I don’t think anybody here can be trusted to be honest (think Hillsborough) – to investigate their roles and determine whether and what criminal charges should be levelled against them.
But she isn’t doing any of that.
She’s trusting one of the people responsible for the corruption to clean it up. She’s making this worse.

Boris Johnson’s government has failed to address the Covid-19 crisis in any reasonable way, according to a new report by his fellow MPs.
The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Coronavirus published its interim report today and it is scathing in its criticism of Johnson and his cronies.
At 91 pages’ length, there is far too much material for me to publish an in-depth analysis so soon – but I don’t have to. The introductory conclusions are damning enough. Here are some highlights:
The UK government’s approach to tackling the coronavirus pandemic has been based on the
false choice between saving lives or saving jobs and the economy.
The centralised and outsourced Test and Trace system operating in England is not working. It
has consistently failed to meet the required target of 80% of contacts traced to be effective.
The UK government has prioritised arbitrary testing targets over a coordinated testing
strategy.
The UK government’s outsourced tracing service has consistently traced only 60% of contacts,
well below the required 80% target. Local contact tracing services have been much more
successful, regularly tracing 90% of the contacts.
Without adequate financial support and general assistance to isolate, the requirement to
isolate is not being complied with by a significant proportion of cases. As a result, the chains
of transmission are not being broken, and cases continue to rise.
Lockdowns have become the UK Government’s only solution to bringing down the incidence
of Covid-19 in England, because it does not have a locally led Find, Test, Trace, Isolate and
Support system in place throughout the country.
The inability for local authorities to access the precise real-time data has significantly impaired their ability to work effectively at a local level to contain outbreaks.
Centralised identification of, and communication with, those shielding has not been
consistent or clear.
Councils need clarification on the resumption of the policy of ‘everyone in’ (ensuring
accommodation for all homeless people).
UK government advice and guidance on shielding and on visiting those in residential care has
been inconsistent and unclear.
UK government public health messaging has been inconsistent and unclear.
Testing
Access to testing for frontline NHS and social care staff has been unsatisfactory, resulting in
staff being absent from their role while they or their family members wait for test results. This
impacts on the ability of the NHS and social care sector to provide care.
The international standard for the turnaround time of tests is 24 hours. The APPG
recommends that the UK government improves turnaround time for tests, such that all
results are accessible within 24 hours.
The APPG finds that there has been inadequate coordination between Pillar 1 (NHS) and Pillar
2 (commercial) laboratories, which has detrimentally affected testing capacity, information
flows and management decisions.
The coronavirus pandemic has exposed the capacity deficiencies in the UK’s public health
laboratory capability: existing public health laboratories did not have the capacity to meet
the surge in demand posed by Covid-19.
The recently announced proposals for testing at airports are not sufficient.
Personal Protection Equipment
There was an insufficient supply of PPE for those in the social care sector
and NHS.
Public Health England
The reorganisation of Public Health England would be detrimental to UK’s ability to respond
to the coronavirus pandemic.
Support for the NHS
Before the coronavirus pandemic, NHS England had around 106,000 FTE vacancies including
nearly 44,000 nurses and more than 9,000 doctors.
Support for the Social Care sector
The social care sector did not receive sufficient support in terms of PPE, guidance, testing or
quarantining provisions for those coming from the NHS into social care settings.
At the outbreak of the pandemic, there was a shortage of 100,000 social care staff.
Oversight of the social care sector was stopped in March 2020 due to a lack of testing
availability for Care Quality Commission inspectors.
Isolation is having a devastating impact on those in social care. All people living in care or
supported living need to be safely reconnected with their support networks for the crucial
emotional and practical support that friends and families provide.
Inequalities
NHS staff, and in particular those from BAME backgrounds, have experienced bullying and discrimination in the workplace when raising questions of workplace safety and lack of PPE.
The impact [of the Covid-19 crisis] has been particularly detrimental on those living in areas of high deprivation, on people from BAME communities, on older people, men, those with a learning disability and others with protected characteristics.
Long Covid
As a medical condition, Long Covid has not yet received full recognition, sufficient research
funding or adequate rehabilitation support.
There are insufficient guidelines for employers and GPs on recognising and managing Long
Covid.
The UK government is not counting the number of individuals who are left with long-lasting
effects of Covid-19 as a measure of the severity and impact of the pandemic.
Mental Health
Covid-19 has had severe impact on the mental health of a significant proportion of society. This may be because of isolation, loss of income, or loss of daily routine.
There has been an increase in demand for mental health support services, with many individuals seeking help for the first time. The APPG also finds that those suffering from mental health issues, including addictions, have seen their condition worsen over the course of the pandemic.
International Comparisons
The UK government has failed to look to or learn from other countries in their handling of the
pandemic. The APPG notes the experience of Norway and Finland, who built up their Find,
Test, Trace, Isolate and Support systems over the Summer, as well as those countries who
instigated testing and quarantine measures at airports early on, such as South Korea,
Singapore, New Zealand and Hong Kong.
That last comment is particularly telling – that the UK has failed in comparison with other countries – on the day that Gavin Williamson was telling radio audiences that Britain is best. What a bad joke.
You can see that this report pulls no punches. This Writer only regrets the fact that the parts quoted above fail to mention the number of fatalities.
I will try to go into depth in the near future.
In the meantime, I look forward to hearing Boris Johnson attempt to justify his inactions in the face of this substantial criticism.

The general public has condemned Boris Johnson as an interfering idiot who will cause huge suffering simply because he doesn’t like being told what to do.
So instead of a "2-week circuit break" back in September, the second UK lockdown will last until 2nd December and cause more hardship and unemployment than the more timely lockdown would have done.
And all because @BorisJohnson hates being told what to do.
The mass reaction came in response to details of his new planned lockdown, leaked in advance of a now-twice-delayed press conference:
Today's Downing Street press conference has now been delayed twice.
There's a good argument that the Prime Minister's office, by quite a long way, is the worst run major organisation in the country. None of these people could hold down a normal job.
— elate – the anti-ghosting dating app (@elatedate) October 31, 2020
Apparently the new lockdown is going to start on November 4 and run for four weeks until December 2:
Boris shutting non essential shops till the 2nd December. So theres 22 days for people to do their Christmas shopping and pile in the shops. Yeah great idea 👏🏽 tit.
Of course there’s always online shopping. We could give our money to foreign-owned multinationals that don’t pay any taxes, ultimately leaving the UK much worse-off in the long term. What responsible government would seriously suggest that?
Schools and universities – where Covid-19 has been spreading most rapidly – will remain open to allow the disease to continue spreading through the population in spite of the lockdown:
On the 2nd December we’re literally going to finish lockdown 2 and go straight into lockdown 3 if we don’t close schools and universities. The last time we were going to have a “4 week lockdown” that stretched into 4 months. What aren’t you understanding Boris?😒#SecondLockdownpic.twitter.com/gtUIUXsaSh
Meanwhile, pubs and hospitality establishments are under orders to close:
Well, pubs and the whole of hospitality to be closed until 2nd December. This is an ill-considered, vindictive policy that is highly unlikely to achieve anything worthwhile. And how many will never reopen after that?
Remember the nudge unit? It was a Cameron project that attempted to “nudge” people into behaviour that they would not normally follow, by creating conditions that meant they would find it impractical to do anything else.
This organisation was so successful that Cameron privatised it and as far as I know, it is trading as a commercial entity now.
I wonder why any government would want to “nudge” us into situations that make us infinitely more likely to catch Covid-19, though. Is Johnson still quietly pushing his genocidal “herd immunity” doctrine?
In the light of the above – all precipitated, I’m sure, by Johnson’s inability to accept instructions, I hereby offer my own contribution to the festivities:
David Cameron was once accused of interfering sexually with a pig's head.
In the light of #Lockdown2 I must now ask: was the pig's head in question on the shoulders of #BorisJohnson ?
