@KieranMaguire I've had an ongoing discussion😂 with a forest supporting mate. I recon the cost of Forests starting lineup in EC final as % of their turnover was greater the City's in UCL final v Inter. Francis fee therefore interesting.

This is true. Taxing education is spiteful. It’s class warfare at the expense of children whose parents want to give them a different schooling.

People who pay for schooling pay twice - once for the state school they don’t use and once the they private school they do.

No wonder Labour’s policy has failed - it has raised little tax and increased the take up of state education. Now everyone suffers: fewer teachers with more students. Vindictive and stupid.

@SkySportsNews We don't need TAA's delivery we need a proper right back and that ain't him.

We won the group with these players and have a decent draw. FFS let's be a bit positive.

The hospitality industry wants their VAT cut to 10%. It will cost £12bn

Who benefits?

❌ The smallest most vulnerable businesses? Nope. 45% get nothing.
❌ Consumers? Nope - prices won't fall.
✅ Nearly half the cash goes straight to large chains. McDonald's gets £400m.

UK tax has gone up significantly over the last 25 years

But the tax paid by the average UK worker has not

This apparent miracle was achieved by taxing “other people”: higher earners, capital, property, banks, etc

The strategy has run out of road

11 trans people have been murdered in the United Kingdom since 2000. All of them were killed by somebody they knew.

In that timeframe, 20 trans people have committed homicide in the UK, including one stranger killing.

There is no trans genocide.

There isn’t even any real persecution.
When it comes to homicide, trans people are the safest demographic in the western world, and it’s past time that members of that community stop pretending to be the most victimy victims ever to be victimized.

@hselftax Where is the comback on qualified professionals, eg the barrister you mention, giving wrong / bad advice.

As Keir Starmer’s Brussels re-set loses momentum, Labour leadership rivals are wooing middle-class party activists with promises to rejoin the EU.

And the la-la-land Greens and their Lib Dem cousins see “a closer relationship with Europe” as the answer to every problem.

Prior to the June 2016 referendum, the civil service and much of our broader political and media class used “Project Fear” to try to batter the population into submission.

The Treasury’s 200-page “study” released the month before – in which then Chancellor George Osborne asserted simply voting Brexit would spark “an immediate and profound economic shock” – was pure propaganda.

Ranks of taxpayer-funded Treasury economists predicted a 1pc GDP contraction in the third quarter of 2016 alone and another 0.6pc squeeze over the following three months.

Osborne threatened an immediate “punishment budget” with £30bn of tax hikes and spending cuts if voters failed to back “Remain”.

After “Leave” won anyway, the UK economy sailed on, recording a 0.6pc expansion in both post-referendum quarters, as the public finances strengthened and unemployment fell to a 43-year low.

Everyone involved in the production of that Orwellian pre-referendum Treasury document should be thoroughly ashamed.

@Rickys_Guitar @slbsn Have you you written to the PL and asked them to tell the commission the you just want it done. That might encourage them to move along a bit.

@CalumMillerLD Starmer when Saville not charged. "I may be DPP but it's nothing to do with me, decision was taken and no one told me"

Starmer when Mandelson failed vetting. "I may be PM but it's nothing to do with me, decision was taken and no one told me"

@James_F01 @BlueClayton1964 @CW9_MCFC @JoshCrick It's not price for me. I buy 6 ST's for my family. I'd happily pay more if there was more flexibility of transferring tickets, availability to get more ST's for my son + my young grandkids who will soon need their own tickets. Sorting tickets is a massive pain in the ass.

@sportingintel I'm pleased to see your reliance on City's accounts at Companies House. I'm sure you've accepted the same accounts at CH when writing about the 115 charges, then.

As I said earlier, regime change - in Venezuela or elsewhere - is a very serious and consequential thing.

No doubt.

But the satirical commentary following the fall of Maduro has been sensational. The irony. The sizzle. The absolute bangers.

Here are my faves so far.
