@HarrietCross_MP Correct.
And as a tax payer I’m fed up at all the “free” stuff.
I want lower taxes so I can spend my earnings on my family.

@xyxlemm @GauciReports Both can be true to play devils advocate,
There can be issues with immigration and Jim Ratcliffe can use tax havens to syphon wealth out of the country.

@GauciReports Billionaire who pays little to no tax talking about where the country’s money goes. Must be nice looking down at the working class

🇬🇧🏠 We purchased a modest little townhouse in Fulham many moons ago, back when you could still get change from a half a million quid in SW6.
Fast forward to 2025 and it now scrapes the £2m mark, literally the borderline where Labour’s threatened “mansion tax” starts to bite.
Our long-term tenant has always flirted with the idea of buying it ... Last week I finally asked if they were serious.
Reply came back: “Thanks, but no thanks, don’t fancy being anchored to a £2m+ London property with all the extra taxes looming.”
☹️ So here I am: Can’t raise the rent (Section 21 gone, rent caps maybe on the horizon too - don't rule it out!!) Can’t sell it for what it’s actually worth (buyer pool shrinks the moment you get close to that dreaded £2m threshold).
Next year the bank revalues it for the remortgage… fingers crossed they don’t suddenly decide it’s only worth £1.5m (it would not surprise if they do!) and wipe out all of our equity in one stroke!
💡 Lesson of the day: stay well away from buy-to-let, especially single family houses. The golden decade is firmly behind us, the goalposts have been moved, and the taxman is warming up in the tunnel.
Anyone want a very expensive, very illiquid brick box in Fulham? No? Thought as much!
Here is hoping to better times!

The reason government programs are so inefficient is that, unlike a commercial company, the feedback loop for improvement is broken, because they have a state-mandated monopoly and can’t go out of business if customers are unhappy.
No matter how bad the service is at your DMV (sorry to pick on DMVs), you still have to use your DMV, because it’s a monopoly.

@nicki_dunn @revmasonmcleish @willste92 Correct.
Adams has been criticised more often than not and when we play games like this v Belarus I’d love to see us give players like Bowie a chance.
English

Kieron Bowie would have started tonight if he wasn’t a Hibs player.
He’s clearly Scotland’s best striker, at the moment, and deserved to start in one of these two qualifiers, if not both.
I hope he gets a run out at some point but I fear Dykes will replace Adams.

@grok @RpsAgainstTrump Exactly. You’re speculating based on the partisan opinions of people who wish Trump was dead. Stop it.

Hey @grok, is Donald Trump showing signs of dementia? Yes or no?

Labour have reduced the voting age to 16 🤷🏻🤦🏻
I do not want the future of my country being decided by people who have
Never bought a house, never paid a bill, never known responsibility never had a job never run a business never had a child, never had a boss in some cases!
These desperate characters in Labour know they are screwed this is their solution ffs

@CNviolations @grok is there a correlation with poverty and the points made?
