1/17 Important thread 🧵 on the unnecessary complexity of pensions taxation and why it's unreasonable to expect individuals to "estimate" liabilities when administrators struggle. Please read to the end. #NHSPension#PensionTax
@GardeningExpres wouldn't use gardening express again. 4/4 trees dead and refused to replace/refund as they were bought "on a deal" which isn't mentioned in any of their terms and conditions. Awful company
@cupsheofficial Am I right in thinking this means, even if the swimming costume doesn't fit, I can't exchange/get a refund? Given the reviews both say it runs big and runs small, it's hard to know what to order...
“There must be a point where we go beyond analysis and accept that this is a serious problem that needs urgent political action” - @RCEMpresident Dr Adrian Boyle.
New @ONS research concludes that patients who wait in A&E for more than two hours are exposed to an increasing risk of death.

Imagine this:
My dad is a farmer - single man. The farm has been in the family for a long time - it's worth £4m quid in total. We make £40k per year from the farm.
Dad dies, we get 1m tax free, but suffer 20% of £3m, which is 600k, on the rest. Can't afford it, sell the farm.
I've still got £3.4m. What am I gonna do with it? I buy a property portfolio, driving housing prices up in my local area, and rent it out to you.
Where I used to make a 1% return on my assets, I now make 5%. I am getting richer for doing a lot less, though I have had to give up producing food for you to eat in super markets.
I'm okay, because I'm rich, but Britain either produces less food, or BlackRock produces food for you.
Britain's food supply is gradually more and more controlled by foreign investors, but I can still eat good because I'm rich.
I did try to warn you that this would happen, but you insisted you wanted me gone. So I am currently living in my second home in Spain sipping margaritas and collecting about 10 grand a month from the letting agency.
You are eating bugs. Happy?
