Has the MSE News RSS feed been disabled?
The last item I’ve seen is: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2018/09/passport-applicants-hit-out-after-being-given-shorter-than-expec/
I use Newsify, blog.feedspot.com also shows the last item as 1 week ago.

Thank you!
I’ve tried two different iPad RSS apps (Newsify & Feedly), both show the mortgage prisoners as the latest article: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2018/10/martin-lewis-mortgage-conservative-party-conference/amp/
The Nationwide insurance article also from the 3rd Oct doesn’t appear, nor does anything after.0 -
I’ve not had any luck with my RSS readers until this morning (sometime between 09:10 and 11:00). Articles from the past month re-appeared, although the most up to date one is “New Scottish £20 note revealed” (Which is now 4th from top).
Is there a permissions setting on the feed that occasionally gets reset back to “public” MSE Andrea?0 -
It is clear that Silly Con Valley thinking is wrecking things. MSE wouldn't have auto-posted content on a marketing platform to be down for days on end, but RSS? "Sod that thing, it isn't reliant on a middleman" - Mark Zuckerberg[1]
This is the XML file for the news feed:
https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/feeds/news.rss
Right now this is the newest item, 5 days old:MoneySavingExpert News Feed

Whoever is in charge of the RSS either doesn't have a clue, or is purposefully trying to reduce its functionality. To get people to use marketing machines/anti-social networks? AOL sucked, and AOL2.0 does too. If users matter then you should focus on user-centric technology, not what seems cool because it is still pretty new to the person signing things off.
On the www the RSS file is just linked to in user-visible HTML, and not set up in the head as this page is, with something like<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="MoneySavingExpert.com Forums RSS Feed" href="/external.php?type=RSS2" />
The www having a plain link means users' browsers will not notice there is a content feed.
I use RSS extensively as the content from many sites can be brought together within one interface. No having to run the gauntlet of web design fads. eg how so many pages these days have a fixed menu and lots of animations, just like the s h i t I used to put on Geocities in the 90s. I used frames and gifs, as CSS wasn't a thing, and I thought it looked really cool: the same justification for the horrible norms with responsive web design (or whatever this week's design trend is labelled as).
[1] Clearly a joke quote. But claiming to empower users, when really a publisher is empowered massively more, is what makes proprietary software and services enriching for an utter minority. And a long-term false economy for actual people.0 -

The feed came back online again a few days ago, currently the latest item on the RSS feed is:

News feed reappeared on Wednesday, last entry is “Ryanair customers risk £55 fee“.
Also appeared “Martin Lewis: How much should you save for your kids to go to university? (VIDEO)”
Is there a regular housekeeping job that runs on a weekly basis to purge old articles? May be that the issue is too many historical items for the feed to hold?0
