If you earn over £50,270 a year you will now pay 40% tax even if things are tight for your two-child family and the cost of living is horrendous.
If you have six children, Labour will now give you £14,000 extra.
What was that about Fairness?

So saddened to hear about the death of James "ReKab" Baker. I only met him a couple of times but found him to be a gentle soul with excellent music taste, and a great producer of deep electronica. RIP James.
I regularly buy a dozen bottles of Badger Ale and 2 packs of mushrooms at my local supermarket. I put them on the conveyor belt in that order hoping the cashier will burst into song as they put them through the till, but they never do.
@wesspeak@RedLipRiots@richardpbacon I understand certain UK NHS phone services have an option for Bengali language selection. Does the Spanish phone based health care service have an English language option?
@RedLipRiots@richardpbacon It s a pity Bacon doesn't point out that for instance Spain do not lay on interpreters for the British - you go to an appt then you either learn or pay for one yourself
Kier Starmer says all immigrants must speak English. How it works the other way round:
“A survey conducted in the Province of Málaga found that 60% of British migrants did not speak Spanish well, and one-third rarely or never interacted with Spanish people outside of shops”
I have to compile and report a lot of data in my job. 18 months ago, I made a glaring, obvious error that wasn't picked up by my management. Suspecting my reports aren't being read, I have been fabricating the data since then and have so far been proven correct.
@AvantiWestCoast Hello again Lucy. So, in short, Avanti West Coast does not provide free drinking water despite selling alcohol. Thanks for confirming.
@AvantiWestCoast Hi AWC team - on way to Euston. Pleased you're serving alcohol but free drinking water station not working. Your on-train team simply said bottled water was 'for emergency use' (!?). Are you complying with licencing terms?
@AvantiWestCoast Thanks Lucy. So it's complimentary water, but not available despite being requested. Under what contingency terms does this water become available / complimentary please?
@AvantiWestCoast Thanks for the quick reply Lucy. I understand licenced premises must provide free drinking water. Is this not enough bottled water to last for sales between Bham and EUS?
@randomvariate Hello. The refill stations are being trialed currently on some trains so should be in use very soon. There is water to purchase in the onboard shop but the complimentary water bottles are generally for contingency use and this does depend on the exact availability onboard - Lucy
Rinse FM UK. The last set was like an eclectic 89-91 London pirate show, but with contemporary productions. Absolutely took me BITD. This is how exactly how underground electronica hould be curated. Who was on Rinse UK from midnight today?
The most aurally stimulating sets on @RinseFM UK since midnight. Trying to find a studio text number but failing. Storming set, old school vibes through to broken beat,4/4 bangers, head IDM, beatz and bass. Love it. Wicked as
@fesshole Obsessive nose picking can sometimes be a sign of a underlying health issue.
It’s kinda gross can’t believe you actually eat it……maybe use a tissue or a nasal spray.
I pick my nose and eat it. I manage to keep from doing it in-front of my bf but then I end up with a permanently blocked nose. It's a nightmare. Sometimes I keep myself awake at night until he falls asleep and have a good route about
I found a grand in rolled notes on the floor of a music venue. Years later I discovered that the band who were playing that night had fired their manager shortly after, accusing him of pocketing gig money.
Since my divorce, I only see my kids 2 or 3 times a week. So when they aren't with me and I am working, I have cbeebies on in the background so it feels like they are here with me.
