Amazon shoppers race to buy ‘superb value' budget TV slashed from £179 to £109
Hunting for a small TV on a small budget? Head to Amazon.
The retail giant has slashed the cost of a 32-inch TCL smart TV: it was originally £179 but is now just £109.

TCL SF540K Smart TV, £109 (was £179)
Since it got slapped with a 39% discount on Amazon, this cheap-as-chips telly has become the retailer's number 1 best-selling TV.
It's a great option for bedrooms, kitchen counters, or a budget-friendly pick for any kids who want a TV of their own.
This 32-inch model from TCL doesn't have all the fancy extras or high-tech features of pricier, bigger models.
But it's a solid choice if you're keeping an eye on your spending.
The screen is Full HD (1080p), not 4K - but honestly, on a TV this size that's not important.
Ultra HD screen resolution can't be appreciated on TVs beneath a certain size.
The sound quality comes with a stamp of pedigree, thanks to Dolby Audio.
Plus, it's got Amazon's Fire TV platform built in (that's the same streaming hub you'll find in the retailer's Fire TV streaming sticks).
You can jump straight into Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, BBC iPlayer and all your favourite streaming apps without needing any extra gadgets.
Perhaps the standout feature - for a telly that's barely over £100 - is the voice control.
The remote comes with Alexa, so you can press a button and ask her to change the channel, adjust settings, or even control other smart devices like Ring doorbells or Echo speakers.
For a TV at this price, that's a nice little bonus.
This TV has already got over 2,400 reviews on Amazon, with an average rating of 4.2 out of 5.
Shoppers are impressed by how much it offers for the price.
One reviewer said it's 'a no-brainer... This TV is feature-packed with the Amazon connectivity and ability to install apps...
"The colours pop and the built-in picture modes really make a huge difference.
It's just the right size on my desk and makes a nice screen to work from home on as well with my laptop.'
Another shopper described it as 'excellent value, great picture, great price... This is a light, sturdy, modern looking television, easy to use and responsive."
A third reviewer called it 'superb value compared to other similar televisions: it's a bargain and really good quality.
"The picture is sharp, colours stand out, it's a slim design, easy to set up, a good quality remote control and decent sound quality.'
It's worth taking note, if you're looking for a slightly larger television, the 43-inch model has been reduced from £279 to £170.10.

Kemi Badenoch accuses Starmer and Farage of 'fantasy economics'
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has accused Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage of indulging in "fantasy economics" over their approaches to welfare in the Daily Mail, Badenoch says both leaders believe in getting struggling taxpayers to "fund unlimited child support for others".Her commentary comes after the Labour government indicated that it was looking at the possibility of scrapping the two-child benefit said earlier this week that his party would also get rid of the policy and back more generous tax breaks for married people. Badenoch added the country could not "afford their fantasy economics" and that Britain deserved leaders who did not "treat economics like a branch of showbiz"."This week we have seen Labour and Reform in a race to the bottom to scrap the two-child benefit cap," she wrote."Starmer and Farage now believe in getting taxpayers - many of whom are struggling to raise their own children or choosing not to have them in the first place - to fund unlimited child support for others."The Conservatives have said the policy - which they introduced - of limiting means-tested benefits to just two children in most families should not be UK have pledged to remove the cap if they win power, but have not detailed how they would fund the billions it, and all their other pledges, would cost. In a speech this week, Farage said he wanted to lift the cap "not because we support a benefits culture" but because it would ease the burden on lower-paid Secretary Bridget Phillipson has said the government is looking at scrapping the two-child benefit cap but warned it would "cost a lot of money".Speaking on the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg show last week, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner refused to confirm whether the government would remove the has also grown from Labour backbenchers over the issue since the party's poor performance at the local elections earlier this attack comes after Farage said this week the Conservatives had become an "irrelevance".For his part, Sir Keir said the Conservatives had "run out of road", were in "decline" and "sliding into the abyss".

What happened to body positivity?
'There's lots of chat at the moment about #SkinnyTok,' Jenny Stevens, the Guardian's deputy features editor, tells Helen Pidd. 'The TikTok influencers, TikTok users, who are documenting their extreme weight-loss journeys. 'I've looked through that hashtag and I think, wow, some of these people are really, really unwell. And I think that there is a profit-seeking algorithm that is pushing that content into the feeds of young users.' Stevens explains why she is worried about the rise in weight-loss drugs, as someone who suffered from an eating disorder. 'I worry about them. And the wider media context, and their absolute fixation on who's taking them, who isn't, who's lost the weight, how they've lost the weight. Look at their bones jutting out … I worry about the effects of it on vulnerable people who are already suffering with disordered eating.' Also, we ask what a renewed fixation on thinness means for plus-size women? Gina Tonic, the author of Greedy Guts: Notes From an Insatiable Woman, talks about the origins of the body positivity movement and why it feels less visible than it did. 'I think Covid put health into the forefront of society's point of view as something that we really needed to prioritise for ourselves and also for our communities. And obviously, the first people to suffer under that kind of logic is people who are disabled, but also people who are seen as unhealthy, I guess, or willingly unhealthy. 'And fatness is automatically associated with being unhealthy and has been for decades. So it just feels like a natural follow-on with a public obsession with health, and the perception that thinness is health, thinness becomes the priority again for so many people,' says Tonic. You can listen to Jenny Stevens's Today in Focus episode on her own experiences, recorded in 2021, here.

Lloyds teams with Lumio to help couples manage shared finances
Lloyds Banking Group has teamed up with money app Lumio to take the stress out of shared financial management for couples. 0 Lumio's app allows couples or other people who manage a household budget together, to manage their finances in a shared space, track and automatically split shared expenses and save together towards common financial goals. It will be rolled out between May and August to selected Lloyds customers that jointly manage bills, who will be invited to trial the app on a first come first serve basis and enjoy free access to premium package Lumio Couples Pro, typically priced at £39.99 per year. Tamara van den Ban, customer propositions director at Lloyds Banking Group says: 'Lumio offers an easy way to manage money together, making every day financial tasks stress-free for people who need to do this together - whether that be couples, siblings or flatmates." Lumio's founder, Charlie Richardson adds: 'Modern couples have fallen into an account gap and Lumio provides these couples with a solution that makes it easier for them to spend independently but retain financial clarity and alignment as a couple.' More than 40,000 Lumio couples already use the app for joint oversight of shared spending, account activity and any shared balances. Both people can work towards shared financial goals, whilst keeping their accounts separate. Customers can also split expenses with a real-time IOU tracker, reducing any potential tension as both parties have access to an automated, accurate record of expenses and payments due. Lumio is a successful graduate of the Lloyds 2024 Launch Innovation programme, which provides participants with the opportunity to run a commercial experiment with the bank and the potential for further investment from Lloyds Fintech Investment Team. Says van den Ben: "We believe that collaboration is key to delivering exceptional services and enhancing our capabilities and we are excited for what our partnership with Lumio will bring to better address our customer needs.'
