New #BrexitDividend Stealth Tax!

Just when you thought that @Theresa_May's government couldn't get any more shifty, they've introduced a cunning stealth tax by reducing the validity of your passport when you renew it. (Great spot @MoneySavingExp !)

moneysavingexpert.com/news/2018/09/p…
Before, if you renewed your passport within the final 9 months, the unused portion would be added to the length of your new passport so you got what you paid for. Now, they have decided stop that - so you will lose any time between when you renew and the final validity date.
This may not seem like a big deal but, with #Brexit looming, passports are a huge deal to the over one million British citizens living in the EU. As the UK does not issue ID cards, UK citizens have little in the way of official ID other than a passport.

#StopBrexit #PeoplesVote
UK citizens overseas have to apply for their passport renewals early because of the potential delays not only at the HM Passport Office (which can be considerable) but also with the delivery service. So British citizens overseas will be impacted most by this change.
Effectively, this means that you have to pay the same for less validity - so the cost per day increases.

Travel, holidays, work - they all just got a bit more expensive. Thanks @Theresa_May!

Ok, it's time to address this idea that #FBPE is an anti-Corbyn-focused organisation.
It has become an increasingly popular trope of the pro-Corbyn, Momentum cult that #FBPE is out to get them.
A favourite way to undermine #FBPE by the #Corbyn/#Momentum crowd is to suggest that it is a being controlled by the right or 'shady billionaires' (which historians of World War II will remember is a nod towards Jewish money).

About a million years ago, I paid in to a pension for about ten minutes. Each year, @AvivaUK send me a statement of what I can look forward to.
They also tell me how much @AvivaUK's charges are and how much my pot went up by...
All I'm saying, @AvivaUK is that it's possible that your advice is rubbish and that, if you cost me over £100 a year in losses and charges, there will be zero pension by the time a retire.

You'll be alright, though.

And I suppose that is what counts.

A quick message to all children (including adult ones!) of alcoholic parents

Christmas Day is going to be difficult. There's no way round that. But Santa gave you an immense gift - the ability to survive. #joinin #IAmCOA #COA @NacoaUK
You aren't responsible for your parent's drinking or the things they've said and done while drunk. Their issues aren't yours. They have to fight their own demons. You cannot help.

Be there for YOU.

#joinin #IAmCOA #COA @NacoaUK
You will get through today. You WILL.

If you can, put them to the back of your mind and enjoy everything around you. If you can't avoid them, give yourself as much space as possible.

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
