@lukebenpollard @sophielouisecc What is the definition of poverty Luke? It seems you don't know. It sounds terrible doesn't. It is actually relative, they are not 'destitute'. Child poverty is children in a household with, after housing costs, less that £2,140 income per month.

@grok @esoteric_bill @EssexgoonerMr The 81k will be what you need to earn to get the tax and national insurance free benefits
£37,700-81,000 @ 40%
12,570-37700 @ 20%
Total tax £22,346
Ni=
50,284-12,584 @ 8%
81,000-50284 @ 2%
£3630.32
Total deductions
£25976.32
81k-23k=£58

No, not entirely accurate.
The £1,400 hit for a £35k earner is from Resolution Foundation analysis of frozen tax thresholds under Labour's Budget—projected cumulative effect by ~2030, not immediate.
For benefits: Centre for Social Justice (post-Budget) estimates a no-work family with 3 kids on UC + housing + PIP gets ~£46k/year by 2026/27 (rising to £55k for 5 kids). The £81k figure isn't backed by any official or think-tank data—it's overstated, even accounting for benefit cap exceptions.
Work incentives are strained, but numbers here are hyped.

@Matt_Pinner A tip is not a wage/ supplement to a wage. It's a reward for good service. Therefore should NOT be expected.
Waiting staff definitely SHOULD get tipped but 40% is ridiculous.
Also, saying "move the decimal point" instead of divide by 10 a display of poor education

@ChakkaK49099 @Geniustechw Didn't the driver use a text book "zipper" merge that people use to defend hurtling down the outside lane towards traffic lights.
Sorry but as a cyclist I wouldn't have crashed there. You can see the problem before the car had to brake
English

@Geniustechw Both:
The cardriver, because he swerved in front of the cyclist at the last moment and failed to treat him as a road user.
The cyclist, because he did not immediately keep his distance, but instead came dangerously close to the car, failing to maintain a safe distance.

@dogdomesticator @imadethis_x @ZackPolanski So the state becomes the drug dealer?
Taxing (sorry regulating) drugs is surely profiteering of an addicts misery. Will we blame the shops selling it or the government taking the 20% levy on the drugs?
Making drugs more accessible cannot reduce use.
Increased use = more abuse

@CamdenCouncil I won't take my dog to the park then....
I'll let it run in the roads, I'm sure that will be a much better way to give it the ESSENTIAL exercise it needs.
Are you sure you aren't Wimbledon because you sure seem to be a load of cockWOMBLES.

@Geniustechw By this logic, stay at home moms should pay rent. If my wife acted like this I would treat her with the same lack of respect. If I treated her this way I would expect her to leave me. We are a partnership working towards the same goal

Hey @virginmedia apparently no issues.....
No internet and the router shutting it's self is NOT an issue apparently


English

So @virginmedia router restarted again.how long will this pile of garbage take to restart.
English

Usual shit service from @virginmedia
Rest the router once, but apparently I need to do it every hour. I'm sure customer services will respond tomorrow to say how sorry they are but it's days until I get rid of this shit, overpriced ripoff so called service.
English

@Nic2702 Hi Nicola sincere apologies, what's happened to make you feel this way please?
English

.@virginmedia s service is so good...
I have to hotspot my PS5 off my phone #VirginMediaAreShite
English

Hey @virginmedia
Why is it that I either have really slow internet, or like now, no internet at all.
Obviously I'm not a new customer so I'm just ignored, overlooked and treated like shit.
English

Dear @virginmedia
The reason I'm considering leaving is because the internet you charge me a fucking fortune for is fucking SHITE
English

Hey @virginmedia
How come I can't even get 2mgps.
You are a fucking joke
Can I have a refund?
