@waldemarszerkus@ShiningScience Using sails requires skills and can be quite difficult, especially close to shore. Many sail boats use small diesel motors for jetteys etc. Perhaps a combo solar with a small electrically controlled sail might be the best of both.

I am grateful to the European Union and to every European leader for adopting the 21st sanctions package against Russia. It is very important that pressure on Russia over the war it started – and refuses to end – continues. This package includes strong measures to curb Russia's revenues, including Ukrainian proposals that have been taken into account. It is crucial to preserve our unity and keep up this pressure. We expect work on the 22nd sanctions package to move forward actively and hope it will deliver additional restrictions that will advance peace and further limit Russia's ability to sustain its war. Thank you, European Union!
The use of s684 in this way is far from "normal". It is my understanding that HMRC have never applied section 684 retrospectively except in relation to these contractor loan schemes and therefore it would be misleading to say that this represents use of HMRC's normal powers.

@DanNeidle In Finland a EUR 60K (£51.5K ) salary nets EUR 34.2K
But Finnish government spending on health was 7.4% in 2022. It's a very good public health system. The NHS costs more as a percentage of GDP.
🧵NEW FOI REVEALS THE PROCESS BEHIND HMRC'S UNPRECEDENTED AND UNLAWFUL DECISION TO TRANSFER THE PAYE LIABILITY OF EMPLOYERS & END USERS IN CONTRACTOR LOAN SCHEMES TO CONTRACTORS IN 2017 (HOEY) AND QUESTIONS PARLIAMENT'S TRANSFER OF THE END USERS' LIABILITY FOR THE LC IN 2018. 1/
Here is @RachelReevesMP chatting to a Loan Charge Scandal victim, and promising action if the useless @RishiSunak doesn't get off his useless arse and do something before the election and Labour win that election.
@Codie_Sanchez Local strip malls are doing well. They have low risk from e-commerce. If you need the dog groomed, a local yoga practice, local restaurant, dentist etc.
@nomadcapitalist There some less obvious but higher taxes in the UK. If you are a freelancer and stuck inside the IR35 rules then above £125K you taxes are as follows:
No tax free allowance
45% income tax
2% national insurance tax
13.8% employers tax
So over 60%.
@LCAG_2019@LibDems Labour created IR35, Cons developed it alongside retro taxation, corruption and max revenue grab. I am turning to Yellow, as Torres have ruined last few years of my life. I will not forgive!
@afneil Nigel Farage's Brexit has caused UK banks to close bank accounts with EU addresses. This has caught many such as people with a UK rental property retired in Spain.
