Spare a thought for @carla_denyer who wouldn't be burnt out doing a job, where you have 9 tax payer funded people helping you.

@MortgageMikeN2 I remember back in the day a famous gentlemen's clubs receipts used to just state 'Restaurant WC1' on them. My boss once claimed £20k in a month there and that was nearly 20 years ago 🤣

@david99mac When it’s not your money it doesn’t feel like real money. No wonder these MP’s keep getting carried away 🤦♂️
English
The more you think about this the more insane you realise it is. Carla’s not alone in her lavish spending of tax payer money.
Moving Home with Charlie@moving_charlie
Behold: the most impressive abuse of an MP’s expense account that I’ve seen. An average price of just under £2,000 PER ITEM. Just me, or is this taking the piss out of tax payers?
English
@MortgageMikeN2 To give it some context. The average MP employs 5 or 6 people out of their expenses. My friend was getting paid close to the London living wage
English
@MortgageMikeN2 I do miss the old expense account from back in the day. I got to eat in some amazing restaurants and some other places also 🤣

@david99mac With all this support what’s the burn out from? How do you think that chat would have gone with your employer at any time in your career?

@The_Landlord I'd love to see the London version of these calculations 🤣

A simple breakdown of the average cost of renting vs. mortgage payments for an average-priced house.
I don't necessarily think a 5% deposit is sensible, but I can make the argument that it can work for those who are driven, disciplined, and have cash reserves.

Can First-Time Buyers in England Afford a Home on Average Rent Budget?

@LondonMoneyFS I think I need to ask for government support as my premium bonds aren't winning enough!

@financial_shaw What a man! Puts things into perspective doesn't it?!

@ukboomers At least with the little shits riding around in circles on the bus all day long, they won't be annoying decent people trying to have brunch in Gail's

Why are there still handouts for kids? Childcare, free buses, the lot. Having them was your choice. We never chose to become old. Can’t remember the last time they did something for pensioners. 🇬🇧

Lemsip update.
LEMMY'S AID
It is with great sadness that Lemsips condition is not improving what so ever despite every intervention possible.
Today Lemmy had a very detailed & specialist ultrasound scan imaging many organs including her liver, stomach, intestine, lungs& heart
Bradford Cat Watch Rescue@BCWRkittens
Little Lemsip update. Lemsip has spent the day in the vets being assessed and had a few tests. Now back in intensive care at Bradford Cat Watch Rescue and Sanctuary she is been nursed tonight. Tomorrow she will see specialists and have detailed ultrasound scans.

@moving_charlie @KirstieMAllsopp So what percentage of the homebuyers were previously renting before buying? Is this not just a transfer of some of the properties from landlords to former renters? The loss of rental property would largely be matched by a reduction in renters?
English
Of the landlords that achieve a sale of their properties, roughly half go to other landlords and half go to homebuyers, so there is a genuine reduction in rental supply.
There is also an increase in supply of homes typically attractive to FTB's though, and that's not a bad thing.
But the faultless tenants being evicted and some made homeless because of the ham-fisted implementation of the RRA are a tragedy.
English
This stupid woman knows that the homes will become owner occupied and there will be fewer options for tenants.

@KirstieMAllsopp @wesstreeting @BBCr4today Stupid woman. If a landlord sells up, you think the properties disappear?

@LondonMoneyFS @MortgageMikeN2 I used to think 4 hours a week was hard work!
English
@MortgageMikeN2 working clever will always trump working hard
English
Why as much as 35 hours a week? @LondonMoneyFS doesn’t do that many hours in a month. We have an obsession with a race to the bottom.
David__Osland@David__Osland
I think that 35 hours work a week should not only pay the rent and put food on the table, but leave you enough over for the odd night out and an annual holiday. And if that belief makes me an economically illiterate leftwing extremist, so be it.
English
@LondonMoneyFS Is Mike celebrating people getting into more and more debt again?
English
And how it has led to a collapse in house prices and transactions
Mortgage Mike@MortgageMikeN2
@ukhpinfo @grok Been absolutely amazing to watch how since over a year ago when @StormBlueHull and @LondonMoneyFS said we were in for severe credit tightening with reduced LTV’s and LTI’s how loose lending has got.

I am now shorting anything to do with the UK.

@LondonMoneyFS Eggs In A Train sounds like a very low budget action movie 🤣
English
I find myself on another hill to die on.
People should not be allowed to eat eggs on a train
English
@Channel4News Is this because more people died whilst waiting to be seen?

Can anyone point me to anything that indicates better times ahead in the next 12 months? 🧐 Lots of sellers in complete denial.

The reality for most London owners selling (esp flats) is likely sell at a loss or wait and hope for better times.
