Sums it up, yup.

The UK personal allowance has been frozen at £12,570 since April 2021. That's the bit of your salary you keep before HMRC starts taking 20% off everything above it. In 2021, £12,570 was a reasonable tax-free bracket. Inflation since then has been roughly 25% cumulative, and the price of basically everything you actually spend money on has gone up — energy, rent, food, council tax, fuel. If the personal allowance had simply tracked inflation, it would now be closer to £15,700. Instead, the threshold sits exactly where it did when Sunak set it five years ago, and is locked there until 2030. The cost shows up everywhere except on your payslip. Every shop, every bill, every bit of your monthly budget feels tighter — while the threshold that's supposed to protect the first slice of your wages from tax just sits there at 2021 levels. The official line is that they 'haven't raised taxes.' They haven't needed to. Inflation does the job for them, every single year, until 2030.

@JoeBangles11 Go for it Joe.

What's the requirement for becoming an MP? I'm in my 30s, know what a woman is, pay my taxes, love cheese.... I don't think I'd be any worse than than the shower we currently have.

@NoShirleyNo Same, was just discussing this today.

Just getting ahead of yet a at another Terf split. I voted remain to avoid the inevitable chaos. But we had a referendum for which the rules were laid down. The majority voted no. That’s democracy. So no. I don’t believe we should rejoin.

@ejtayloruk Emma Jane is campaigning AGAINST the naked bike ride and I totally support her There is no consent for adults, let alone children, if you happen to find yourself in London when it’s taking part I wouldn’t want to be confronted with naked cyclists Sign the petition above

@JSLondonLDR What a waste of time and money.

🚨One of Hackney's brand new Green councillors has quit immediately for breaking electoral rules - triggering a fresh by-election mylondon.news/news/east-lond…

This from Jess Phillips’s resignation letter is devastating for the prime minister “Over a year ago I presented solutions, long worked on by brilliant civil servants that would end the ability for children in the UK to take naked images of themselves. 91% of online child sex abuse is self-generated by children groomed, tricked and exploited in to abuse. The technology exists to stop children being able to take naked images of themselves. We could make this possible on every phone and device in the country. We could stop this abuse. It has taken me a year to get you to agree to even threaten to legislate in this space. Not legislate, just threaten. This is the definition of incremental change. Nothing bold about it. The announcement was meant to be in March, I'm still on a promise this will happen in June, I've given up believing it. How many children were left without a safety net in the time we dilly dallied and worried about tech bosses? This is just one example.”

🚨 BREAKING: Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips has resigned from Keir Starmer's Government

Britain’s broken borders have been a disaster for women. Foreign nationals now account for one in seven convictions for sexual crimes. It is not racist to want this to stop, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/WJSeCJJ

@stingerdelux Safeguarding, by definition, is not retrospective or case-by-case. We don’t wait for a paedophile to assault a child before deciding they can’t work with kids. Safeguarding is predicated on proven risk to one group from a significant proportion of another group.

I think this is the route a lot of us took to “radicalization.”

So Polanski did indeed fail to pay council tax on his main residence. Clearly he wasn't bothered about failing to contribute to the cost of local services. It's another example of 'Rayner's Rule:' that those who are most keen on forcing the rest of us to pay lots more tax don't think they should pay much tax themselves. And when they're found out it's always 'a mistake.'

‘The country expects us to get on with governing. That is what I am doing.’

‘Our march against the far right was amazing. We had a BDSM dance party right after a massive Iftar celebration. Zack’s mum invited the dancers. Literally millions turned up. Diane Abbott did the numbers’ Hannah Spencer* (*@intel_lady) on the Together rally against Reform:

“While claiming to be an outsider because of his skin colour and his decision to pretend not to be a man, Manivannan is the epitome of privilege. Becoming a poet and anthropologist before choosing to study international relations at St Andrews is every bit as much a class marker as the dreadlocks sported by Debrett’s-listed trustafarians in the 1990s. In short, Manivannan displays his politics like a designer handbag; his opinions are simply an extension of his ego, a way to show the world that he is a good person. He is the perfect symbol of Green narcissism.” @jo_bartosch ⬇️
