Help needed with one question about UK frozen state pension.
What are you on about? The agreement is a matter of record, made into law years ago. I was responding to oxo1947 who asked if anyone knew the reason(s) for this being in place. I mentioned I didn't know the accuracy of this potential reason, but given that the purpose of these agreements is as below, it seems a valid reason, but again I don't know this, just read it somewhere in the past.

Rachel Reeves Under Fire: Career Claims Spark Controversy
They could fill that alleged 22bn black hole with the 22bn earmarked for Millibrand to distribute to newly set up "consultancies" etc. it's just a matter of "tough choices", put up with the backlash of pulling back the promised pork from their own, or filling the alleged hole in public services budgets. -

Day-to-day life in Myanmar
Chin State. Only visited twice and likely will never get the opportunity to visit again but I live in hope. Can be tricky to get there once the rains arrive but so worth the effort. -

Trump Selects Johns Hopkins Surgeon Makary to Lead FDA who argued against COVID lockdowns
Actually, statistics do lie and they lie big time. Mark Twain popularized the saying in Chapters from My Autobiography, published in the North American Review in 1907. "Figures often beguile me," Twain wrote, "particularly when I have the arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force: 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.' https://www.forbes.com/sites/kalevleetaru/2017/02/02/lies-damned-lies-and-statistics-how-bad-statistics-are-feeding-fake-news/ -

Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?
You're comparing your relationship here to relationships back in the UK. Don't partners in The UK share funds? I would bet there are many women that do get a salary/budget every month. So you came here at 22 and married a Thai. First, 22 must have been a good time and wish I was here before my early thirties. Most expats here make much more than their partners and as happens in the UK, end up supporting their partners. Many of my friends fully support their wife back in the USA financially even though the wife is fully capable of working. If you were the exception and didn't make more than your wife, then not supporting her makes complete sense. If you made much more, like most here do, then not supporting her financially would be strange and selfish? -

Calls for a New Election Surge Amidst Labour's Challenges
Yeah, it's kinda like the difference between Trotskyism and Stalinism, or Starmerism as it will come to be called. -

I am fully in favour of healthy food, in particular reducing the use of pesticides and other chemicals in agriculture, and the use of additives in processed food. However, it will obviously require more regulations and constraints. It will be interesting to see how it will collide with Trumps pledge to cut regulations in order to increase performance and how the agri-business, which is a strong GOP backer, will react to it 😃
