@moving_charlie £735000 Cheap

It’s a £650k home. That’s why you’re trapped. x.com/ottaproperty/s…

@david_stillwell 23 years of ownership. Probably works out at £15k a year so getting there!!

Found it on RightMove... She feels entitled to £410k profit.

I wonder what the King and PM will chat about tomorrow

Many members of the Government have been forced to apologise for their part in covering up corruption. I gave Boris Johnson another chance to apologise today. He refused. He's a coward, not a leader. #PMQs

@MarieTidball Because no one let them go to Africa!

You won't hear a peep about this from Farage, Tice or Jenrick. Under the Tories, up to 400 hotels were being used to house asylum seekers. With Labour, there are now just 185, with 11 more hotels re-opening to the public, saving the taxpayer £65 million a year.

@triffic_stuff_ What does an Early Education Minister know about a global war? Nothing and should have said she can’t answer and quite honestly should not have been on the programme

This is UNBELIEVABLE. Watch this incredible exchange where the Early Education Minister Olivia Bailey is repeatedly asked a simple, straightforward question: Does the UK agree with the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz? She won't answer. Not once. She's asked SIX times! Instead, she dodges: "We will not be taking part... we believe in free navigation of the seas... we want to see free navigation of the Strait of Hormuz." She even claims, "I think I'm being clear". Clear? The answer is obviously NO, we don't agree with the blockade! But she just can't bring herself to say it. What's truly scary is this is the Early Education Minister responsible for our kids' futures and she can't even answer a basic, straightforward question. 🤦‍♂️ Incredible.

@SamuelJJack2 Sometimes they leave the bottle recycling for another 2 weeks and the villagers either give me a medal or tutt loudly

@Tremmers99 For what? What is council tax? Break it down for me. Moreover explain every single tax to me.

@RickSacrop If they want to downsize b4 selling then it is up to them but they won’t pay taxes on the main home unless they complete on it within 3 years of buying said property. (If they rent out either home then some tax is payable but a tenant now may mean a bigger tax bill in the end)

@Tremmers99 They are excempt on their main place of residence only, as Rayner found out to her political and financial cost. Most capital gains on property arise from inflation so there is no gain. CGT should be adjusted for inflation.

One of the reasons you often find elderly people, on their own, in a large house is stamp duty. If they downsize they get clobbered for tax so it isn't economically viable. Abolish stamp duty on downsizers and we will see a huge shift in the market. And HMRC get Tax on the resale

@wesstreeting As you say, two to tango but they ain’t dancing for anyone!!

The Tories refused to negotiate. We have negotiated - with BMA officers, who agreed it and recommended it to their committee. Their committee rejected it and have refused to meet me repeatedly. There is fault here, but it’s not the Government’s. It takes two to tango.

@RickSacrop Not really. No one pays taxes on selling even after many years of main ownership. If they have to pay SDLT on new property then fine

@Tremmers99 I think you need to research a bit more.

@SamuelJJack2 @London_W4 I’ve never gone THAT far there but somehow put in a lot of hours in said establishment. Great to hear Kevin still there - they don’t make them anymore

@London_W4 Kevin a is grade A gold plated ocean going W ⚓️ He chased me out of the pub in 2017 at 6AM with a frying pan after sleeping with the bar maid. I was half naked and he threw my clothes out of the window whilst stood on Kinnerton Street.

And now I’m here in one of my favourite London pubs. The Nag’s Head in Belgravia. Owned by an ex guardsman who hates most of his customers and makes up the price of the drink depending on how much he dislikes you. I love him! Great bloke. Sadly, he’s not in today for first time since I’ve been coming here, but that does mean I managed to take these photos. If he’d been here I’d have been thrown out the second I lifted my phone. The world is a better place with characters like him. Cheers 🥂

@SamuelJJack2 @realninawysocka And here is the thing! Only 20% comes through the straights so can’t we function off 80%???

@realninawysocka Close but no cigar. It all technically comes from the Middle East but it is sanctioned so it is shipped to India they then do a STS transfer. It then becomes Indian oil and we buy it. 20% is legit. 80% is laundered through India.

Interestingly enough, the UK doesn’t receive any of its oil via the Strait of Hormuz. Not a drop.

PMQ’s should have an immediate answer allowed back after the PM’s response #keepthemhonest

@SamuelJJack2 @Ed_Miliband @MumsnetTowers Puts Weybourne on the map for once!!

@Ed_Miliband @MumsnetTowers Hi Ed, Here’s a map of North Sea Oil that you refuse to drill because you are an economically illiterate lemon.

We will not allow conflict abroad to be an opportunity to rip families off. My piece for @MumsnetTowers on how we are protecting the British people, including over £50 million to support vulnerable households with heating oil costs 👇 mumsnet.com/talk/guest_pos…

Speeding up house transactions Part 1. Covenants need to be re issued / confirmed as same every 15 years or become null and void - #discuss

The reason I have retained £55 from last years council tax is primarily because the bottles have not been collected for a month - and other missed in year - and it gives me chills how embarrassing it is that a) @DorsetCouncilUK can’t collect & b) how full it is!!!

Nice cold Thatchers at the pub tonight @Ed_Miliband

@LookingBack22 @moving_charlie @GrahamCompton And of course supposed smaller bills than a big house, easier living, possible relocation for the green fields of England etc etc means more than sheer square footage v £££’s etc

@LookingBack22 @moving_charlie @GrahamCompton Cheap at that…..£9,500 alone at £395k….. but of course there is the overall huge rises in property values ……. Maybe not in real terms before we have that argument @moving_charlie

We don't need a "housebuilding push" to boost the economy. Even if we did that it would take years to feel the effects (but we have an oversupply in any case). Scrapping stamp duty permanently would IMMEDIATELY boost the economy and unlock pent up social mobility.
