Classless, dirty, vile, cheating thugs throughout, even in defeat. So glad Argentina lost. The better team certainly won.

Oh pleeeease… Burnham is NOT scrapping Britain’s digital identity architecture, don’t fall for this!

He is scrapping the unpopular name and one proposed national credential.

▪️https://t.co/JJzSYSvdZC One Login stays.
▪️The Government Wallet stays.
▪️Digital driving licences stay.
▪️Police access to DVLA records stays.
▪️eVisas and digital right-to-work checks stay.
▪️Mandatory Companies House identity verification stays.
▪️The statutory Digital Identity Trust Framework stays.
▪️NHS Login, the NHS App and the Single Patient Record stay.
▪️A unique identifying number for every child stays.
▪️Plans for universal newborn genomic testing and DNA storage stay.

The framework, legislation and machinery are already embedded across government departments.

And he certainly won’t dismantle the systems and legislation already being assembled to link your government “you” file together.

Betcha 🔥

@andyburnham Britain is governed by the World Economic Forum mate, there is no change planned unfortunately.

Under-fire Gambling Commission has published another set of problem-gambling figures.

KEY QUESTION:
Were NHS population health surveys on multiple conditions wrong for 20+ years, or does the GC’s new survey methodology inflate prevalence?

In 2023: NHS 0.7%. GSGB 2.5%.

The World Bank ranked every country on earth for practical solar potential.

Britain came second from bottom. Not second from bottom in Europe. On the planet. Out of everywhere they measured, the only place with worse conditions for a solar panel is Ireland. Norway is above us. Norway, where the sun clocks off entirely for part of the year, is a better bet than Lincolnshire.

The reasons are not a mystery. We sit at 53 degrees north, the same line as Edmonton, Alberta. The sun in December gets about as high as a first-floor window and then thinks better of it. And there's the cloud, which is not a detail, it is the national personality. A square metre of London gets 0.52 kilowatt hours of sunlight a day in December and 4.74 in July, so the panel does nine times less work in the month your heating is on than in the month it isn't. Across the whole of 2024, British solar ran at 9.5% of what it's rated at. The other 90.5% is a photograph of a power station.

Now the other column.

The ground we're bolting it to is Trent valley silt and Lincolnshire fen. Some of it took three hundred years to drain. It grows wheat at yields that most of the planet cannot get near, in a climate so reliably damp that grass grows here without anyone asking it to, which is the entire reason this island has cattle and cheese and a butcher.

So we are, measurably, one of the worst places on earth for sunlight and one of the best on earth for food.

And we've had a good long look at both of those numbers and gone with sunlight.

Somewhere in Namibia, which the same report ranked first, there is a patch of absolutely nothing, in full sun, wondering what it did wrong.

This really is an unbelievable story and just about sums up the UK right now.
A small leafy village in Piddington has voted for independence from the United Kingdom because the Government is planning on dumping 1000 illegal aliens into a village of only 180 people.

I keep politics off here, but I find those ridiculing, cheering and applauding the death and murder of Ann Widdecombe a 78 year old defenceless old lady, utterly shameful people.

A lot of people are missing the point here.

The 40% tax threshold was £43,875 in 2010.

Today it’s £50,270.

An increase of just £6,395 in 16 years.

If it kept pace with inflation, it would be closer to £75,000 today!

[Sasha Yanshin @sashayanshin]

Imagine you build a successful business in the UK.

It makes £10 Million profit.

First you pay 25% Corporation tax = £2.5 Million.

Your net profit after tax is £7.5 Million.

Average UK P/E ratio for public companies is ~15.4. Let’s use that as a proxy.

This business is worth £7.5 Million x 15.4 = £115.5 Million.

UK Government wants to tax you 2% wealth tax on your net worth above £10 Million per year. 2% x (115.5 - 10) Million = £2.11 Million.

So you have to pay yourself a dividend of £3.48 Million which will pay 39.35% dividend tax to pay the wealth tax.

Remaining Company profit = £4.02 Million.

If you want to have that money, you have to pay dividend tax again. After the tax you have £2.44 Million.

So the net effect is that if you make £10 Million, the UK Government will take 75.6% of it as tax.

Almost half of this tax comes from the 2% wealth tax.

It’s an extra 35% tax on profit in this example.

Problem is dimwits who were “good at maths at school” and politicians don’t understand basic maths.

This will mean absolutely nobody will take the risk to invest or start a business in the UK.

What is the point? If you are lucky enough to succeed, you will get punished hard.

Jobs will not be created. Investment will dry up immediately. Anyone starting a business who is young enough will move.

The power of FAFO will lead to a collapse in living standards and a collapse in economic growth.

This will destroy the UK economy and be the biggest own goal in a generation.

Why are we blindly walking into a self-orchestrated financial disaster?

But hey - it sounds good because an idiot YouTuber who has no clue said so.

It has good vibes.

Tax the millionaires! What is so bad about a 75.6% tax exactly?
