@RepublicanSons @J4m35c4mpb3ll Scotland receives more in public spending than it contributes in taxes, on average.

There. I can make unsubstantiated claims as well.

@john_shako54250 @versatancore Why does this matter?

[Sam Gervaise-Jones @SamGJones]

@Rebecca_SPaul Do you have a proposed solution?

[Sam Gervaise-Jones @SamGJones]

@ShehabKhan Quick point of fact. Student loan repayments are not 9% of salary, it’s 9% only on salary above the threshold salary. You’re not paying anything on the first £25-32k (depending on which plan you’re on). Facts matter.

@crickohlic 2014 no?

[Sam Gervaise-Jones @SamGJones]

@cgdav135 Interesting take. Did you not understand the changes described?

[Sam Gervaise-Jones @SamGJones]

@FFT1776 Can only imagine yours is a minority view 🤷‍♂️

[Sam Gervaise-Jones @SamGJones]

@SkySportsF1 But not gaining an advantage 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

@MattP1Gallagher It was doibke yellowed at first and Verstappen took 0.5 secs out of Leckerc through the stadium first time round. Yellows clearly not going to slow people down enough?

@Danwhite1972 This kind of post just demonstrates Dan isn’t a serious person.

[Sam Gervaise-Jones @SamGJones]

@pfreekirsty @DanNeidle I think you’re unwittingly reinforcing his point that many people fail to grasp the numbers (intentionally or otherwise). £35m a day would be £70 per person for the population Manchester (conservatively c.500,000 people in the city proper).

@Imogenlemon02 Embarrassingly naive

[Sam Gervaise-Jones @SamGJones]

@LukePollard Embarrassing

[Sam Gervaise-Jones @SamGJones]

@GyllKing My understanding is that 3 of the 4 supermarkets you highlight pay the real living wage. This suggests the prevalence of UC claims is due to part time work. Are you advocating banning part time work? Or that businesses should pay full time wages to part time workers?

@DrChrisParry @UKLabour Tell me you don’t know what a VPN is without *telling me”…

@999Daedalus007 I’m not peddling anything. I quoted some figures that seem relevant in the current debate on pay, you’ve said I’m wrong but haven’t given any alternatives. It’s ok to challenge the narrative. Better understanding serves us all well.

[Sam Gervaise-Jones @SamGJones]

Estimated pre-tax lifetime earnings (40 year career) for a full-time NHS Physician Assistant is £2.2 - 2.5m

Same calculation for Resident Dr is £3.3m using conservative numbers.

Add in supplementary private practice once they reach Consultant level and it’s £7m.

Interesting

[Sam Gervaise-Jones @SamGJones]

@999Daedalus007 Classic debating there. Thanks

[Sam Gervaise-Jones @SamGJones]

@Anisocyte Of course it’s not a favour, but it’s also disingenuous when people fail to acknowledge the value of training when comparing vs global pay rates.

Clearly expanded training places and more certainty of the progression needs to be implemented as well.

[Sam Gervaise-Jones @SamGJones]

@Anisocyte Ok, but we’ve already established the two roles are not equivalent (even if perversely the higher responsibility role is paid less).
