@Jenny_1884 Special expenses to reach almost 400£ in a day. Expenses for travel or food are based on an allowance for normal people - Travel by car is 45 p per mile, public transport is the full ticket. For food, working past 8 PM is 25£. No way this reaches 371£.
@chrisbassy1877@JohnofRebisi I'm not Scottish, just like politics. They got one, and the main argument was staying in the EU, which Scotland voted for even during Brexit. Then Brexit happened, right ? Variables change. Anyway, agree to disagree.
@chrisbassy1877@JohnofRebisi It's a democracy, and my opinion is that each state, in the entire world, should have the right to have the choice put to the people. Since all countries elected parties which set independence as a goal, that may mean that it is what people want. Don't see any harm in running it.
@chrisbassy1877@JohnofRebisi Because variables have changed since then. As to who should pay, that's down to whatever agreements WM have with the devolved governments, but nobody can not allow a referendum if a country wants it. That's the basis of democracy. Not allowing it, proves they must be independent.
@chrisbassy1877@JohnofRebisi Either way, you are free to your opinion and I respect it. We shall see what will happen, if the indyref would happen again, however for now, it is only a statement, and no independence referendum.
@chrisbassy1877@JohnofRebisi There are many ways to resolve this matter. A separation would hit England as well, and currency would fall, so I would say England would allow the Scottish pound to stay and the pound in Wales, while NI would move to Euro with ROI. England wouldn't want the pound to plummet.
@narindertweets Obviously not all non-EU migrants take more from the system than they put back, however, the average clearly shows that the numbers don't stack up with overall loss to the budget since Brexit.
@narindertweets are you talking about EU or non-EU migration ? The hit to the budget was caused by Brexit and reduction in EU migration. Non-EU migration is an overall deficit, while EU migration has been a positive - here is a summary.
@lisareality1@SixSigmaCapital Majority of barbers are self employed, so they get paid only when they have a full seat, plus they pay rent on the seat. Average haircut price in a village is around 20£ - add beard, wash, wax and other things, reaches 40-50£. Can get to over 4k in a week, depending on hours.
@FrancisJoh97749@JohnofRebisi How did that work out since Brexit ? The UK's primary export is services, which is quite fragile, as seen in the offshoring strategies applied by consulting companies, so unless production ramps up, trade deals will almost always be unfavorable.
@andrew_lilico Cool, an economist PHD agreeing without saying where the 9 bil would now come from. Guess from freezing tax rates even further than 2031. Lets tax work more, so IHT gets scrapped (hope you get the sarcasm)
@PhilipEdwaahzj@georgeeaton@unojen_wood I don't believe that IHT is on people's minds when deciding where to live. But you do you and complain about IHT, while nobody seems to be saying anything about PAYE, by which more people are affected. The distraction game is too easy, mention IHT and everyone's distracted.
@GildaYork66@kevverage Thank you for keeping it civil, and we can agree to disagree. Best of luck, and we shall see what approach will be taken, but I reckon it would be best to have a middle ground option, because I don't believe a tax won't be there, looking at past fiscal policies taken.
@GildaYork66@kevverage The wealth generated by property prices, was not taxed. Either way, this affects under 5% of the country, and nobody is screaming when Paye goes up year after year. agree to disagree, but sorry to see people get easily distracted. Have a look at the Irish model, if you want to.
@GildaYork66@kevverage But congrats on looking at this silly piece, and ignoring that PAYE tax is going higher, with surely more freezes to the income threshold. Sell, rent, you still get tax, so why when tax is payable matters ? PAYE hurts more, but people are too easy to distract with small things.
