My brother called me today
He needed €500 for his little son surgery
“Of course, we’re a family” I said
Then, I sent him a loan agreement, with 5.3% interest, and 12-month repayment schedule
“Are you serious, my son is in the hospital now” he called me back angry
I told him the European Central Bank doesn’t lend without terms, and neither do I
He hung up and borrowed from our mother instead
She didn’t even ask for collateral
That woman has zero financial literacy
You can’t just give out loans without proper documentation
@robprogressive This comparison seems to be wrong.
What youbare mentioning is about the tax rates for working class people. In dubai working class opportunities are far lesser than other countries.
If you compare business opportunities then everywhere its around 10% for that level of income
How much do you actually keep?
To clear £120k after tax, this is what you’d have to earn:
Dubai - £120,000
Hong Kong - £140,000
China - £160,000
U.S. & Germany - £165,000
Canada & France - £172,000
U.K. - £205,000

ISLAMABAD, February 9, 2026.
The Honorable Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Shehbaz Sharif has been formally briefed by the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Mr. Mohsin Naqvi, regarding the outcomes of high-level deliberations held between the PCB, representatives of the International Cricket Council (ICC), and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).
The Government of Pakistan has reviewed the formal requests extended to the PCB by the Bangladesh Cricket Board, as well as the supporting communications from Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates, and other member nations. These correspondences sought Pakistan’s leadership in securing a viable solution to recent challenges.
The Government further noted the statement by BCB President, Mr. Amin ul Islam. The profound gratitude expressed by our brotherly nation is received with great warmth. Pakistan reaffirms that it stands shoulder to shoulder with Bangladesh.
This evening, the Prime Minister held a telephone call with H.E. Anura Kumara Dissanayake, President of Sri Lanka. During their warm and friendly conversation, they recalled that Pakistan and Sri Lanka had always stood shoulder to shoulder, especially during challenging times. The Sri Lankan President requested the Prime Minister to accord serious consideration to amicably resolve the current impasse.
In view of the outcomes achieved in multilateral discussions, as well as the request of friendly countries, the Government of Pakistan hereby directs the Pakistan National Cricket Team to take the field on February 15, 2026, for its scheduled fixture in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
Moreover, this decision has been taken with the aim of protecting the spirit of cricket, and to support the continuity of this global sport in all participating nations.
The Prime Minister and the people of Pakistan extend their best wishes to the "Men in Green." We remain confident that our team will carry the spirit of sportsmanship and national pride onto the field as they compete for global glory.
🚨 BIG STATEMENT BY PAKISTAN PM SHEHBAZ SHARIF 🗣️
He said - "We will not play with India in the T20 World Cup. We stand with the Bangladesh and boycotting match against India is our final decision."

For Axis Burgundy account, the Total Relationship Value needs to be 30 Lakhs.
Have couple of questions @AxisBank
1 - Can I transfer my PPF from ICICI to Axis to meet this criteria?
2 - Is getting a Burgundy account a sufficient condition to get a Magnus for Burgundy card? Or is just necessary?
@SamBooth177485 Thanks for the mention! At the moment, we’re also unable to offer any new accounts If you've closed one previously. We don't have a timeframe for this but we'll be sure to update the website with any changes: help.starlingbank.com/personal/topic…
We'd love to have you back!
@StarlingBank I am a returning customer and was very surprised to see I could not reapply for an account (even more so that this issue has persisted for over 12 months)
Can you give an update on the timeline? I can only imagine how many customers this has cost…
@marksandspencer Eastbourne( The beacon mall) – out of Apple Crumble Oats & Chia Pudding 😢 These are my primary foods due to a medical issue (anal fissure). Can you restock soon? 🙏
@StarlingBank No - My question is once a customer closed a starling account in the past, he cant open a new account at the moment? When do you start allowing the returning customers to open new account? Its not allowed since 2 years?
Our new look has landed ✨

@Tesco recently i contactected your customer support team on personal twitter message and they issued me a digital money card to email address. However, i havent received any email yet. Its been more than a day. What to do now?
@StarlingBank You are notnoperating the same. Previously you are used to allow ex customers to reopen bank accounts and welcoming them. But you are no longer doing that. I steongly believe you are not the same starling bank after ceo left.
