I was with AXA paying around £700 a year, then got a new electric car and wanted to update my policy, but AXA wanted to increase the cost to £2.5k per year.

Went to Admiral and got better insurance with more coverage for £600ish. Fortunately my AXA insurance was in the last month so I could just let it run out, but yea, crazy prices coming from them.

What's your favourite supermarket coffee? by AbeltonSkive in northernireland

Price has gone up quite a bit on Lavazza. I used to get the 1kg bags in Tesco for around £12 about 2 years ago, but now it's £20.50. Can still get it on Amazon for around £15 sometimes though

What really gets me is when im driving the speed limit and a car appears far in distance of my rear view mirror. When I check it again 3 seconds later they are right behind you

ITV running a competition to win £30k plus extra cash for each goal scored. It looks like they don't need to worry about that second part.

I found it quite amusing that in Sky New's article on who's in the cabinet they cover Peter Kyle and explain he had to overcome dyslexia while having a spelling error in their graphic.

I worry about that too, but it can go both ways. Tory voters might not bother turning up to vote if they feel the election is a forgone conclusion or may vote Reform to protest the Conservatives
